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.

Good Place
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.

Disappointing
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.

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.

More than expected
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.
