"We fell in love with Arumvale the minute we set foot into our lovely room. The Samantha room was a dream with its beautiful view over the green pastures and mountains. This was rest for our souls...to be able to switch off from the crazy city life. It was peaceful and relaxing. Thank you George and ..."
more"Our stay at Arumvale over the past weekend was just the best! We were warmly welcomed by George who waited for us even though we had arrived way past the check in time. Throughout the weekend he and the friendly staff were there whenever we needed anything. They went out of their way to make us feel..."
more"Small touches like a braai (barbecue) ready to be lit and farm-fresh milk in the fridge put the cherry on top of a good find - we enjoyed our stay and Arumvale's Anneline Cottage lived up to expectations! Oh and the views of those mountains!
Note that this is on a working farm and the cottage abu..."

"The gardens and views from the country house are stunning. We were disappointed with the size of the pool - it is more of a garden pond. George was very helpful and friendly though we did have problems with TV and dstv. A pleasant room with double bed and sleeper couches seem to be normal in all roo..."
more"Fantastic stop over on our way threw. Wow the views from the top room where something. Dairy farm next door was special. Plenty restaurants in town to choose from. Great county run in the morning too. "
"Let me make a couple of things clear. The accommodation states that it is a Country House. From a UK point of view it is not, it is a house in the country. The owner states that there is walking, horse riding etc. There is not, if you want to do these things then they are available in Swellendam and..."
