What do our guests say about us?

We went for our honeymoon to Arniston Hotel. The staff was very accommodating and had a vase with the most beautiful red roses and a bottle of champagne waiting for me that hubby arranged before we came. The restaurant's food was delicious and not pricey at all. We visited Waenhuiskrans cave as well - what a breathtaking experience! Arniston Hotel has a very special place in my heart.
Dr. Tuschka – June 2024

The best place to relax. Love this hotel so much. Massive rooms, massive beds, massive bathrooms. Charlotte Rhys vanity products. Lovely buffet style breakfast that includes bubbly. Good menu for lunch and supper. The best Piña Coladas. They view can not be beaten. Staff are all super friendly and efficient. I especially love the small decanters of complimentary sherry and the variety of coffee, tea and rusks in the room.
Maryke Badenhorst – March 2024

Lovely hotel at the Southern edge of Africa. The staff are really fantastic and my room was lovely. Very clean and comfortable. Lots of sweet touches including a bedtime note of the next day's weather and tides. Such a memorable touch of detail. The food choice was excellent for a vegetarian which was a nice surprise. Honestly a lovely hotel with great value for money. I had a facial in the spa which was 10 / 10. I floated off to heaven for a while.
Louise Best – March 2024

Beautiful setting. Friendly service. Oysters are very big and delicious! Sushi, pickled fish, and poppers were all delicious.

Words can't express the amazing family break we experienced at The Arniston Spa Hotel. Memories to treasure and magical views from the room. The buffet breakfast was a real treat, with champagne and a view unsurpassed. We will definitely return.
Karen Winstanley – September 2023

Beautiful, well maintained & managed hotel right on the sea's edge, with amazing sea views. The staff are pleasant and very accommodating. The sea facing rooms are luxurious and worth the little extra cost. Hearty breakfast is included, and the two restaurants offer great menus. Highly recommended.
Darryll Thomas – May 2023

Wow! Wow! There was a welcome letter with my name on it in my room! There was brandy set out on a tray with glasses! The bathroom is quite large with a separate large shower and large bathtub. The English breakfast was great. They have a full-service spa on site. Beach view or pool view. I did not want to leave. They give phenomenal customer service and made me feel like I was the only guest there.
Christina Chavis – April 2023

We had the best time ever. My hubby went fishing, I was at the spa and my baby had a great time in the pool and playroom.
Liesl Du Plessis – March 2023

Warm and friendly staff, amazing views, excellent food, superb management. We will most definitely go again.
