Arniston Hotel - South Africa Tours Accommodation

Just a short drive from Cape Town and set in the rolling hills of the Overberg is the luxurious Arniston Hotel and Spa. The Arniston Hotel offers spectacular views of the Indian Ocean and white beaches. The Europeans discovered this unspoiled land in the 1800's and this stretch of the coastline became known as the portal to the east. Before this discovery the area used to be home to the Khoisan people. Numerous shipwrecks are found along the coastline and Arniston gets its name from one of these wrecks, namely the British ‘Arniston’. People come to Arniston to relax and enjoy the beach and the sun.

The luxury, 4 stars Arniston Hotel host’s guests in 60, stylishly decorated rooms, with crisp white linen and colors of the ocean. Four room types either have a sea or pool view and the deluxe sea-facing room has its own private balcony with endless views of the clear blue waters of the ocean. All rooms are en-suite and most have a fireplace for the colder nights. The rooms are stocked with basic necessities ensuring a comfortable stay and all rooms and public areas have wireless Internet access.

Due to the wealth of sea life, the Arniston Hotel serves delicious seafood as well as blends of traditional South African cuisine. A cozy wine cellar is part of the public area and can be booked for an intimate dinner experience. Conference facilities serving 100 delegates are available. The friendly and relaxed Arniston Hotel has a unique character all of its own.

There are lovely walks of which the shortest is a 2 minute stroll to the harbor where you can watch the fishing boats or visit the fishing village of Kassiesbaai. One can also walk to the Waenhuiskrans caves at low tide or take a longer walk to Struis Point, Galjoengat and to the De Mond Nature Reserve if you are more fit. There are many good fishing spots in the area and deep sea fishing trips can be arranged. Waters are safe for swimming and body boards are available. The nearest golf course is only 20 minutes away in the town of Bredasdorp, and is a nine-hole, award winning golf course.
