We had a lovely stay at Arendsrus Country Lodge. The staff were so friendly and helpful, especially with our kids. We would love to be back soon! The peace & quiet & beautiful scenery is unrivaled.

Lovely place with extremely friendly and helpful staff- they could not do enough to be helpful and welcoming. The monkeys visiting the balcony each morning were lovely too heheh. Evening meals were of good quality homely style, in big portions. Loved the little touches like the complimentary truffles and sweet wine - plus I have never encountered rose petals in the loo before. There are 2 rooms per cottage unit but I was never conscious of the people in the adjacent room. This is a lovely place - don’t hesitate to stay there.

We enjoyed our two night stay, staff worked hard to please us. Rooms are comfortable and bathrooms nice. Well supplied with coffee, tea and milk etc complimentary sherry and rusks. Fridge, kettle etc provided. Good WiFi There are items in the mini bar to purchase Restaurant has a good menu but during our stay, meals had to be preordered before 2 pm. I expect this was not normally required. Gardens and flora are spacious and very well taken care of, tv and microwave etc are available in the main building and a bar is also located there. It took us about 20 minutes to drive to town where one can find everything you may need . No ac and tv in the rooms which was not an issue for us.

Diese außergewöhnliche Unterkunft ist zwar "somewhere in the middle of nowhere", aber ein schönes Paradies. Wunderbares freundliches Personal, Charné hat großartig gekocht und ich habe mich wie ein König gefühlt.

This property is lovely but it was too far out of George. When I booked it I thought it was in George. But it is a lively place!

The lodge is a long way out of town and not suitable as a destination if you are wanting to do business in George. It is however an amazing location for a peaceful, country break that has beautiful moments of serenity and beauty. The bathroom was under construction and so breakfast was a little noisy.

Sehr nette kleine Lodge im Hinterland von George - schöner Garten

Phenomenal!!!!!!! My range of vocabulary can not do this place justice. The lodge itself is set in a beautiful picturesque location at the foot of a mountain. The staff were so accommodating as I made an error of booking 2 single beds by mistake but the host gave us the honeymoon suite for no extra charge as well as carrying my suitcase to the room. The room it self is beautifully decorated throughout with wood and the bathroom has a separate shower and bath. It has the added bonus of some complementary sherry and chocolates. Breakfast was cooked perfectly and there is a large choice of fresh and cooked products. This room is easily 5 star and such good value for money that I would gladly have paid more and would thoroughly recommend to anyone with anyone without hesitation. My only regret is only staying 1 night

Wer Ruhe sucht ist hier absolut richtig! Etwas außerhalb von George am Berg gelegen, kommt man über einen Schotterweg zu einem traumhaftem Anwesen mit Rosengarten, Brunnen und kleinen Holzcottages. Von deren Balkon hat man einen atemberaubenden Ausblick auf das Tal. Die Mitarbeiter sind nett und erfüllen auch schon mal einen Sonderwunsch (zum Frühstück bereiteten sie ein selbst mitgebrachtes Straußenei). Ohne Einschränkungen weiter zu empfehlen.
