The lobby of the Arabella is beautiful. The rooms are great. We had a great view of the river estuary and the golf course. It's between (and close to) Kleinmond and Hermanus, which are lovely little towns on the coast. We particularly liked exercising in the gym with its view of the estuary. The Arabella is very pricey though, and... more

The room we stayed in was of a very high standard with beautiful views across the bay. The facilities at the hotel were excellent, for couples and for families alike. The serving staff were most friendly. However, the general manner of the supervisory/management staff was borderline arrogant - undeservedly so. The food at the Jumani and Pool restaurants were of... more

I worked on the event team for 6 days with 120 delegates in this hotel. Service from the bars was slow in the evening. Staff were helpful, food was of high quality and the conference facility was modern and well appointed. Personally my room was beautiful and the bed very comfortable. The Milkshakes from the pool bar were the best,... more

This hotel is located on the outskirts of Hermanus, about 20km from the centre of town. It is a fairly large resort hotel, with excellent golf and pool facilities. It is basically located within a golf and country club, within a gated residential community. The hotel attracts quite a large number of families, so expect quite a few children (at... more

This hotel is just perfect - I cannot praise it enough! The hotel is located in a very nice, guarded area including a golf course, situated right at a lagoon. The atmosphere is special - elegant and relaxed at the same time. The perfect place for a holiday!!! The lobby and the building itself are very nice and welcoming. It... more

This is the best hotel I've ever stayed in! (And I've stayed in some very nice ones, on both business and vacation travel in Asia, North America and Europe.) My wife and I were there in a suite for six nights in late November/early December, as part of a 16-day trip to South Africa. Very nice rooms, with the additional... more

It was not our first stay in this hotel and as usual we were welcomed very warmly. When you enter the hotel it gives you the feeling of being in Africa. The rooms are big with a large bathroom and are nicely decorated. The location is a bit "isolated" (it takes you abt. 25 minutes to Hermanus) but great overlooking... more

This is by far one of the most beautiful hotels this side of South Africa. Check-in was very smooth, the reception was extremely warm and helpful. Rooms are very well-anointed. Lots of space, fantastic amenities in the bathroom and spacious bathrooms. The view is awesome from the balcony. One really cannot ask for more. My only gripes are that the... more

This is a beautiful property - about 15-20 min drive from hermanus. BUT, there was no pool! They are working on the indoor and outdoor pools. VERY disappointed as, since this was a resort and spa, my husband and I redeemed starwood points in the middle of our 3-wk trip to South Africa to have a break from travelling and... more
