Our family stayed at the Arniston hotel this weekend. We have stayed there before but it was the first time that we took the extended family with. Yet again, Riaan Griesel and his awesome staff made our stay so special. Nothing is ever too much for these people. It was a very busy weekend as it was a long weekend... More

The hotel is really great. The staff are genuinely friendly and well trained. Everything is in top notch condition. We booked a special breakaway and on arrival, were upgraded to a sea facing room. The room was very well sized and had a small sitting area with DSTV. The view from the small balcony was onto the Ocean and there... More

Beautiful room with spectacular sea views. Had lunch at the restaurant. Also made use of room service for supper. Made use of the spa. They were very accommodating by staying open later so that I could have a massage. The massage was great. Lovely breakfast with a great variety to choose from. My favorite was the muesli. Staff were all... More

The ocean in Arniston (near the Southern most tip of Africa) lies in the unique turquoise colour of the water as well as the peaceful little fishing and holiday village atmosphere. The lack of city lights means the stars are more visible at night and there is more peace and quiet. I love the sea facing rooms - especially on... More

Swambo and I stayed for the weekend and was pleasantly surprised by the 2 breakfasts and dinners we had. On par if not better than some of the top restaurants we have been to - hats off to the chefs! The service staff also deserves to be complimented for their efficiency. The outside of the lift just needs some serious... More

Wonderful and friendly staff, very accommodating - arranged a sea-facing room on request! Great room, bedroom and seperate lounge area with a balcony. Very comfortable bed, great very spacious bathroom and excellent linen. Will definitely return and look forward to staying over and see the wonderful, friendly staff again.

This hotel with it's breathtaking view of the sea is the perfect place to truly relax. The service is excellent, rooms and balconies are spacious and lush and the breakfast selection a true feast. My favourite being the bubbly with salmon & capers! Using the hotel's bicycles on offer to guests was a real treat. Everyone MUST go to this... More

Stayed at the The Arniston Hotel after many days in B&B accommodation. It is a very professional operation. Lovely spacious well equipped rooms, great public areas (Restaurant, Bar, pool area) but best of all the staff. Extremely courteous and helpful which added a personal touch to the visit. Particularly impressed by their use of our name. Howard in the restaurant... More

Still returning over a period of 9 years and we only live 90 minutes from Arniston. There is always a very special feel to this friendly, relaxing and beautiful location. The Staff are all professional, charming and efficient - whatever their specific role. The cuisine is excellent ( linefish to die for and very full glasses of wine! ) and... More

We spent 3 nights here last month and had a great time. The interleading rooms we had were large & clean with a stunning sea view. The breakfast offers a great selection. A nice touch is the bicycles and boogie boards they have available for guest use. Definitely a must for anybody wanting to stay in the area.
