Lovely charming place for a couple or small family
Lovely people and charming place. Could help self to vegetables in the garden or even the eggs from the chickens for breakfast which was a hit with the kids. Only drawback was that it was a bit of a squash, we should have booked a third room. The rooms are called “two bedroom” but they are actually one bedroom suites with a single sofa bed in the living room so not really suitable for three adults. This is in the small print of the room description so our fault for not reading closely but I think the room title is misleading. Great for a couple or a family with one child.
verified t.familyFeb 18, 2019 Unique location, animals, bird life, views.... it was a magical experience to watch over the huge landscape as the night drew in
Loved it, great place, very peaceful. Owner very helpful!
Wonderful accommodation excellent hosts would recommend
Wonderful stay ... would highly recommend the cottage. Beautiful views, cozy, clean, friendly staff and glorious fireplace!
We stayed for 1 night en route from East to West. The standard self catering room was good, comfortable and clean. The views from the patio were really good. If staying for more I would definitely go for one of the bigger suites. We self catered and managed but better cooking facilities are available in the bigger rooms. Good value, nice place.
Stayed for two nights but should have made it one. My wife didn't want to stay on first impressions as the place needed a thorough clean. Lots of cobwebs and dirty surfaces. The outside space superior to the inside. Lovely views from the terrace but close to cow fields hence inundated with flies which plagued us. Our introduction was rushed and below the standard of others we have experienced this trip. This place was not for us.
First class luxurious accommodation
Lovely peaceful and scenic location.
We enjoyed our stay at Arumvale. George and everyone were so friendly and helpful. The accommodation is characterful and comfortable. Swellendam is a short drive away and George recommended and booked us a great restaurant on our first night - Field and Fork. We made a day trip down to De Hoop and saw whales, wildlife and the most magnificent sand dunes. A long journey on dirt roads but well worth it.
A little smaller than the picture in brochure portray but not a penalty. If what you after is a relaxed scenic venue then this is the place. We'd love to go again.
Worth more than a one night stopover
This is a lovely property in a great setting with the mountains as a backdrop. It is an easy short drive from the centre of Swellendam so an ideal location for those like us who like to be away from the bustle but close enough to enjoy the restaurants and gift shops of the centre. The accommodation is quite basic but oozes character and charm. George is a very hands on host and ensures the braai is set up every day! We stayed for 3 nights but will stay longer next time to fully enjoy all that the area has to offer
Rustic cottage with a lovely view
This converted cottage was so sweet it was originally a farm workers cottage next to the main house It was fun for a nights stay and the mountain views were stunning
Nice place with a view at the mountain ridge.
It is a nice place with a view the mountain ridge with some farming land surroundings. It is just outside the city. People are very friendly. The two rooms we stayed in looked great.
I'd easily book again.
Stunning location, cosy apartment
The location is stunning, with views over the nearby mountains. Our room was comfortable and well equipped, George even had the Braai ready to fire up when we arrived. Definitely book a few nights and explore the SANPark hikes
Beautiful views and beautiful cottage
Really enjoyed this stay, beautiful views and great host! We loved Swellendam town too, and there are lots of great places for lunch and dinner :) Thoroughly recommend this place
steffen&steffi.partnerJan 06, 2020 Die gesamte Unterkunft ist etwas in die Tage gekommen. Wir haben keine großen Ansprüche und so war das in punkto Sauberkeit halbwegs in Ordnung, aber doch schon an der Grenze. Der Pool ist mit Salzwasser gefühlt, zu unserem Erstaunen vielleicht sogar noch etwas salziger als das Meer. Für eine, maximal zwei Nächte ist der Platz in Ordnung.
liegt landschaftlich sehr schön, wirkt insgesamt etwas vernachlässigt, Bad sehr klein, man braucht ein Auto da abschüssig
Assez cher pour ce que c'est
Assez bien dans l'ensemble mais assez cher par rapport à d'autres hébergements que nous avons eu en Afrique du sud.
Point positif : bel environnement.
Point négatif : ménage.
Petite terrasse agréable mais pas propre idem pour les transats à la piscine.
Franchement à ce prix on peut trouver mieux
verified t.partnerFeb 10, 2019 Accueil très succinct. Très belle chambre décorée avec goût et belle vue sur la campagne. Eloigné du centre mais d'une grande tranquillité. La chambre dispose d'une belle terrasse individuelle avec un barbecue pour un repas en toute intimité (pas de possibilité de repas à proximité). Le jardin est magnifique avec une piscine, un coin repos et une végétation soignée.
Vue sublime sur champs et montagnes , très jolie lodge, magnifique jardin, bonne situation. Propreté moyenne dommage sinon c’etait Parfait
