Unbeatable value in heaven!

Absolutely what I wanted. Deafening silence and unbeatable views, just outside of town 5 km. Braai on patio, fireplace inside, kitted out with all the necessities. Can't wait to return in a different season to soak in the views again!

Cozy winter stay.

Fantastic stay! Lovely little space with probably the best view in the area. The unit had everything we needed, and the cosy fireplace was a winner. But even better was the view from the patio, well out of the wind and private. Had lovely walks along the beautiful river on the property as well. Can't wait to come back again!

Good evening Zander.
So lovely to read your review.
We are happy you enjoyed your winter stay and of course, you're very welcome to be back at Arundel.
Stay well, Marjon and Roel

Great stay.

We had a lovely stay at Arundel Studios. The environment was every bit as pleasant as was promised in the pics. Items I would have liked to see: a chopping board and a hair dryer. Also, the gravel road is not graded all the way to the property, if only for a short stretch right towards the end. Still doable in a sedan, but current information a little misleading.

Baie mooi plek in die berge 4 km uit die stad.

Pragtige plek wat uitkyk oor die berge, baie mooi en rustig, warm water was net 'n bietjie 'n probleem. Twee eenhede deel 'n solar geyser. As jy eerste op is, het jy warm water. Anders stort jy koud.

Gasheer en gasvrou is baie gasvry. Die eenheid was presies soos dit op die webtuiste adverteer is. Die uitsig is asemrowend mooi en was rerig 'n voorreg om die tyd daar te kon spandeer. Ons sal dit beslis aan enige voornemende besoeker aanbeveel.

Dit is lekker naby as jy Clarens wil besigtig. Baie still en mooi. Mens voel veilig. Daar is 'n stukkie grondpad, maar glad nie sleg nie. Was 'n heerlike wegbreek van die besige stadSlewe. Kon maklik rond beweeg en Clarens besigtig.

It was a beautiful place to stay. The location was perfect as you were far away enough from the town to feel that you were alone in the mountains, yet close enough to easily go to the shops and explore the town.

The fireplace was a welcome bonus for the cold nights. But the East facing the direction of the room meant you were quickly warmed by the morning sun.

Uitsig is pragtig. Plekkie is netjies en skoon.

Die plekkie het n wonderlike uitsig oor die berge. Baie naby aan die dorp en sal enige iemand aanbeveel om eerder hier oor te bly as in Clarens self. Die ry in dorp toe vat so 10min, maar dit is die rustigheid werd. Plek is skoon en het alles wat jy sal benodig vir 'n kort kuier. WiFi is aan selfs as daar beurtkrag is.

Arundel Studios is 'n pragtige plek om na weg te breek en net rustig te raak.

Vrede met 'n uitsig. Die uitsig is asemrowend. Dit is werklik pragtig ingerig. Daar was baie beurtkrag in Clarens en omgewing, maar met die gasstoof, kaggel, sonverhitte geyser en sonpaneel lampies was dit heerlik en gemaklik om oor te bly. Dankie weereens! Ons gaan beslis weer oorbly wanneer ons Golden Gate Nasionale Park wil besoek.

Ons het 'n plekkie gesoek waar ons net rustig kon wees en ontspan. Arundel Studios is die ideale plek om na te gaan indien jy rustigheid soek. Daar is geen lawaai nie.

Hierdie is ons tweede besoek aan Arundel Studios en ons was weereens baie gelukkig tydens ons naweek. Die eenheid is skoon en netjies, die bed is lekker warm en die uitsig asemrowend. Dit is doodstil, net waarna ons op soek was. In die aande hoor jy die uil en die jakkalse, in die oggend al die verskillende voëlsoorte. Daar was selfs 'n hasie en 2 mongooses wat vir ons kom kuier het.

Uitstekend in alle opsigte.

Ons het albei Studios bespreek vir familie en het ook ons klein seuntjie (6) saam geneem. Die netheid, 'attention to detail', ekstra moeite vir ons kind, uitsigte, ligging, diens ens was alles fantasties. Met reënerige weer voorspel het hul die moeite gedoen om twee kinderboekies (Afr en Eng) asook inkleurpotlode met papier in ons kamer te sit. Die piekniek plek onder by die rivier is ook baie mooi. En die uitsig!

Excellent in every way.

We booked both Studios for family and also took our little boy (6) with us. The cleanliness, 'attention to detail', extra effort for our child, views, location, service etc were all fantastic. With rainy weather forecast, they made the effort to put two children's books (Afr and Eng) as well as coloring pencils with paper in our room. The picnic area down by the river is also very nice. And the view!

Asemrowende mooi uitsig! Skoon, netjies, gemaklik en rustig.

Die eienaars is baie aangename mense - het ons baie welkom en tuis laat voel. Die eenhede het alles wat mens moontlik kan benodig gedurende jou verblyf. Die enigste voorstel wat ek sal maak is om miskien 'n afdak vir gaste se motors op te rig? Maar veilige perseel en gerieflik. Ons sal dit definitief aanbeveel.

This type of accommodation out of town, is booked by the overwhelming majority of guests precisely for that reason - to get away from crowds and people in general. In any emergency, there is a panic button remote in the studio which is linked to a call-out response security company based in Clarens, who will come out to the studios at a moment's notice.

Klein studio-eenheid, maar met alles wat 'n paartjie nodig het om 'n heerlike tyd te geniet.

Die eenheid is klein maar volledig toegerus as selfsorg. Dit is netjies en daar is 'n paar pluspunte waaraan die eienaars aandag gee om dit net so 'n klein bietjie meer spesiaal maak. Die ligging is uitsonderlik en daar is baie ruimte vir die siel om te sweef.

Although the studio is a bit small, it is a gem of a place! Highly recommended!

This gem has all the necessities for a weekend away stay, with a gorgeous view. Please note that the studio unit is a bit small with an open plan bedroom/dining room (although this did not bother us much!). The road up to the unit is not bad, although very low-lying cars might find it a bit tricky! I would definitely recommend this accommodation and will want to stay over at Arundel Studios again!

Die plek is baie skoon en vreeslik mooi uiteengesit. Die eienaar het ons baie vriendelik ontvang en toe hulle gehoor het dat ons pas getroud is, het hulle ons bederf met 'n bottel sjampanje! Hulle het ons ook verskeie gratis dienste aangebied. Oor die algemeen was dit 'n wonderlike ervaring gewees. Ons sal nooit weer op 'n ander plek bly as ons in Clarens kuier nie.

Die uitsig was pragtig. Baie dankie, ons het ons wegbreek by julle geniet en sal beslis wees by julle verblyf bespreek.

Was great!

Jy gaan grondpad ry, so jou kar gaan vuil word - maar die stilte is dit werd! Die kaggel in die winter is 'n wenner - maar jy gaan moet settle vir 'n warm stort, eerder as 'n bad. Enigste negatief is dat Clarens so klein is soos die foto's beduie en dit beteken dat as die ouens jou waarsku dat jy moet inkopies doen in Bethlehem, dan joke hulle nie - net die bare basics beskikbaar in Clarens - wat beteken jou braai gaan teleurstel tensy jy vleis saam bring. Arundel sal my vir seker weer sien - lekker gerus!

Netjies, skoon, vriendelik, alles wat nodig is in 'n baie mooi omgewing met lekker staproetes en baie fotogeleenthede.

Alles wat jy mag nodig kry in die studio beskikbaar - ingesluit steak messe. Elke dag ten minste een van die staproetes gestap en baie tyd op die roetes spandeer om foto's te neem. Die piekniekplek teen die rivier is baie mooi. Sal vir seker weer hier bly as ons in die omgewing is.

Neat, clean, friendly, everything you need in a very nice environment with nice walking trails and lots of photo opportunities.

Everything you may need is available in the studio - including steak knives. Walked at least one of the hiking trails every day and spent a lot of time on the trails taking pictures. The picnic spot by the river is very beautiful. Will definitely stay here again if we are in the area.

Pragtige uitsig, oulike studio maar kort 'n paar verbeterings om verblyf gerieflik te maak.

Die pad bly 'n faktor hier. Arundel is bereikbaar met 'n motor maar mens moet die paar kilometer kruip. Warm water was nie warm genoeg met temperatuur van minus 2 grade. Dames kort 'n muurprop binne bereik van 'n spieël. Lastige vloerlys by badkamerdeur nie maats met my tone. Baie mooi uitsig en omgewing. Rustig. Lekker braaiplek op stoep en kaggel binne. Genoeg hout is voorsien wat heerlik brand. Kan pragtige plek wees met klein veranderinge.

Beautiful view, cute studio but needs some improvements to make stay comfortable.

The road remains a factor here. Arundel is accessible by car but one has to crawl the few kilometers. Hot water was not hot enough with temperature of minus 2 degrees. Ladies need a wall plug within reach of a mirror. Awkward skirting at the bathroom door doesn't match my toes. Very nice view and surroundings. Restful. Nice braai place on the porch and fireplace inside. Enough wood is provided which burns deliciously. Could be beautiful place with small changes.

Breathtaking view, friendly staff and owner, beautiful private hiking trails. Just what we needed!

My wife and I needed a short getaway away from everything and Arundel was exactly what we needed. No TV or distractions, breathtaking views, cracking fire, birds and the wind through the trees. The management and owner are very friendly. The rooms are private (We stayed in studio 2), the gravel roads are not as bad as some make it out to be, we drove slowly with my VW Polo with no problems (Speed up slightly on your way up to the studios for some momentum). Beautiful picnic area beside a stream with a braai and pond to dip in. Great hiking trails, just make sure to ask the farm owners to hike across their land. 5 minutes away from Clarens. We are most certainly coming back again. Thank you Arundel!

Studio is baie netjies en keurig, alles wat nodig is, is daar, behalwe miskien 'n TV, maar ek neem aan dis die idee om die rustigheid van die natuur te ervaar. En dan natuurlik die fantastiese uitsig. 'n Bietjie persoonlike aandag sou nice gewees het. Maar oor die algemeen 'n baie lekker ervaring.

I did notice that the extra blanket, towel and shower had hair from the previous guests in it. The towels are also small and thin. The water was lukewarm and not as warm as one would expect on a cold winter weekend in Clarens.

Dit was heerlik en voedsel vir die siel!

Dit is 'n lieflike plekkie om te bly. Miskien kan hulle kyk na afdakkie by die stoep vir wanneer dit reën, sodat mens nogsteeds kan braai of dalk net die stoep glasdeure kan oopmaak sonder dat dit in reën. Ons sal beslis weer daar gaan bly. Pragtige uitsig en goed toegerus. Baie dankie vir weereens vir heerlike sielerus.

It was delicious and food for the soul!

It is a lovely place to stay. Maybe they can look at a shed by the stoep for when it rains, so that you can still barbecue or maybe just open the stoep's glass doors without it raining. We will definitely stay there again. Beautiful view and well equipped. Thank you very much for once again for wonderful peace of mind.

Perfekte rusplek!

Ons verblyf by Arundel was net wat twee stadsjapies nodig gehad het. Die omgewing is rustig, die uitsigte ongelooflik en die blyplekkie toegerus met als wat mens kan benodig. Die WiFi was beslis 'n onverwagte bonus, en ons kon die Saterdag toe die weer sleg was lekker opkrul en fliek kyk met die kaggel wat brand. Arundel sal ons vir seker weer sien.

Our stay at Arundel was just what us city sleeker needed. The area is tranquil, the views are amazing and the accommodation has everything you need.

Pragtige verblyf!

Ons was aangenaam verras dat die eenheid selfs nog mooier as op die foto's was, met 'n lieflike uitsig oor die berge. Heerlik stil en rustig - ver van 'n pad of geraas van verkeer! Ons was gelukkig dat niemand in die eenheid langsaan was terwyl ons daar was nie. Ons enigste onsekerheid vir 'n volgende bespreking is dat ons nie besef het toe ons bespreek het, dat die twee studios aanmekaar vas is nie. Ons is dus nie seker hoe stil en rustig dit nog steeds sal wees as daar mense langsaan is wat raserig is nie. Die enigste ander minale steuring was dat die huis langs studio 1 'n Jacuzzi het wat die bure soms in die aande aangesit het, en dan vir 'n rukkie 'n bietjie van 'n dreun-klank veroorsaak het, tesame met hulle gesels buite hulle huis. Dit was egter regtig 'n kleinigheid en het nie lank aangehou nie. Sal dit beslis aanbeveel en weer gaan! Ons sal probeer om weer in die week te gaan wanneer die eenheid langsaan hopelik weer sal oop wees.

Beautiful stay!

We were pleasantly surprised that the unit was even more beautiful than in the photos, with a lovely view of the mountains. Wonderfully quiet and peaceful - far from a road or traffic noise! We were lucky that no one was in the unit next door while we were there. Our only uncertainty for a next booking is that we didn't realize when we booked, that the two studios are stuck together. So we are not sure how quiet and peaceful it will still be if there are people next door who are noisy. The only other minor disturbance was that the house next to studio 1 has a Jacuzzi which the neighbors would sometimes turn on in the evenings and then cause a bit of a booming sound for a while, along with them chatting outside house. However, it was really a trifle and didn't last long. Would definitely recommend and go again! We will try to go again in the week when the unit next door will hopefully be open again.

Waarde vir geld akkommodasie.

Ons het vir twee aande in Studio 2 gebly. Die prosedure om die sleutel op te tel (en af te laai) in Clarens, was pynloos. Akkommodasie was skoon met als wat jy kan nodig kry. Die grondpad was ook nie 'n probleem soos deur ander resensies beskryf nie. Stil, wonderlike uitsig en naby genoeg aan Clarens as jy dalk bietjie meer aksie wou hê. Sal die verblyf definitief aanbeveel.

Value for money accommodation.

We stayed in Studio 2 for 2 nights. The procedure to pick up and drop off the key in Clarens went without hassle. Accommodation was clean with everything one could need. The gravel road wasn't a problem either as described in other reviews. Quiet, lovely view and close enough to Clarens if you want some more action. Would definitely stay here again.

Recommended provided you get there in an SUV.

Being motorcycle enthusiasts and with Clarens being a favourite motorcyclists’ haven we decided to arrange a short road trip with some friends. When we saw Arundel Studios – and its many good reviews, we decided this was the place for us. The views from the patio are spectacular and watching the sun rise and set was truly magnificent. The accommodation is well-appointed and cosy and comfortable and the kitchen is well-equipped. Unfortunately there were a number of downsides to the accommodation. The road to the studios requires at least an SUV as it is a very rough dirt road – even a normal motorcar would struggle. This was not communicated on any of the sites advertising Arundel, and with Clarens being a road motorcyclist’s haven we would have thought this would be an important consideration to have highlighted. This would have been a major factor in us choosing our accommodation as we were riding Harley Davidsons. There is no lighting along this road which made going into Clarens for dinner impossible on our motorcycles. Then, to our dismay, we discovered late on the Saturday afternoon that there had been no housekeeping service at the studios so we came home to unmade beds, and unwashed dishes – luckily we were with friends and we had enough crockery between the two Studios. We have stayed in any number of B&B’s, guesthouses and self-catering accommodation and there has always been a housekeeping service – this too needs to be communicated as this would have determined whether we would have booked the accommodation or not. The key collection and drop-off system needs to be reviewed as it is neither easy nor convenient for guests. We had to meet Dolores on the road going to the Bethel Estate and then had to drop off the keys in town on Sunday morning. It would have been easier to leave the keys in a post box at the studios. Whilst we had a very good weekend it was very stressful to negotiate the road into and out of Arundel Studios and could have ended in a worse disaster. 2 of the bikers did go down on the rocky gravel section – luckily a few grazes and some scratched paintwork was the only damage.

Arundel Studios 's response

Thank you for your feedback.

Just a few responses:

1. Most Harley riders coming to Clarens, do not like gravel roads and mostly book places in Clarens which are on tarred roads. Many guests have used normal cars to come to Arundel, and have had no problems at all. It is not an exclusively SUV road. See previous reviews as these comments do not reflect the experience of the majority of our guests.
2. There is no mention of daily servicing included in the rate in our advert, so not sure why this was expected. It is specifically stated in our advert that: "Servicing is not included, but can be requested at an additional cost".

Jy kort 'n 4x4.

Die plek is mooi binne en netjies afgerond. Die grondpad was egter rof al het ons 4x4 gery. Daar word geen melk of blits voorsien nie asook met aankoms het ons sleutel ontvang en in die ander paar se studio op geëindig en moes verder reëlings tref sodat ons die studio kon bereik. Die parkering was ook moeilik weens die paar langsaan wat nie korrek parkeer het nie, ons het gesukkel om ons 4x4 uit te kry. Geen parkering word aangedui nie. Het al beter in Clarens gebly vir minder.

You need a 4x4.

The place is nice inside and neatly finished. However, the dirt road was rough even though we were driving 4x4. There is no milk or flash provided and on arrival we received a key and ended up in the other couple's studio and had to make further arrangements so that we could reach the studio. Parking was also difficult due to the couple next door not parking correctly, we struggled to get our 4x4 out. No parking is indicated. Stayed better in Clarens for less.

Good day,
Thank you for your feedback,
We have guests every weekend, who use normal cars to get to Arundel Studios. The last 2 kms is a gravel and farm road, but the large majority of guests cope with the gravel track. What was the worst part of the road has now been concreted. As far as refreshments are concerned, there is complementary tea, coffee, sugar and creamer in the Studio. The guests who arrived first took the wrong studio but the guests who have made this review said they were very happy to swop units and they ended up in the better unit with better views. Parking has never been an issue and guests are always considerate to others. There is enough space for 2 vehicles. The directions to the parking area is included in the directions which we end to guests with their booking confirmation.

Die beste uitsig ooit.

Die studio is baie netjies en skoon en baie goed ingerig vir gemak vir twee persone. Ons het die pragtige uitsig baie geniet en die hout wat voorsien was vir die kaggel het handig te pas gekom om 'n heerlike vuurtjie te maak om die koue weg te dryf. Dis baie romanties met die kerse oral in die studio en ons sal dit ten sterkste aanbeveel vir mense wat van die natuur hou en dit kan waardeer. Die speletjies en leesstof wat tot besoekers se beskikking is, was ideaal om mens besig te hou. Ons beplan reeds aan ons volgende besoek!

The studio is very neat and clean and very well equipped for comfort for two people. We really enjoyed the beautiful view and the wood that was provided for the fireplace came in handy to make a lovely fire to drive away the cold. It's very romantic with the candles everywhere in the studio and we would strongly recommend it to people who love nature and can appreciate it. The games and reading material available to visitors were ideal for keeping one busy. We are already planning our next visit!

Baie romanties en die uitsig is AMAZING.

Ek het gevind die bed se matras is nie meer so lekker nie, die "springs" het in ons rug gesteek en het gemaak dat ons nie so lekker kon slaap nie. Die warm kombers het nie gewerk nie, en het nie genoeg komberse gehad nie. Maar ek sal vir seker teruggaan na die plekkie toe, wil graag in die somer 'n draai daar gaan maak. Die vuurmaakplekkie in die kamer is wonderlik. As jy 'n romantiese atmosfeer wil skep is Arundel Studios vir seker die plek.

I found the bed's mattress was a bit worn out. The springs stuck into our backs and so we didn't sleep very well. The electric blanket didn't work and we didn't have enough blankets.

If you are looking for couples getaway with a romantic atmosphere, then Arundel Studios is the place for you.

Ek sal definitief Arundel Studios aanbeveel. As daar een ding is wat ek kan uitlig, ek het gesien daar is 'n tipjar vir die cleaner en gardener. Ons het aangeneem die plekkie gaan skoongemaak word daagliks agv die tipjar. Niemand het die eenheid kom skoonmaak nie. Dit sal lekker wees om die opsie te hê dat iemand die plekkie kom skoonmaak, selfs al betaal mens 'n paar rand ekstra.

Pleasant! Clean! Nice view!

Stay was pleasant. Most beautiful view. Might just want a heater (winter) too as one might not feel like using the fireplace. Would also prefer a meat bowl, especially if you are grilling friends. The dirt road is a bit unpleasant with a normal car, but doable. The units were very clean and tidy. Well done to the cleaners!

Asembenemend!

Hier kan jy jou verkyk aan die mooiheid. Beslis een van die mooiste paar dae in 2015 hier spandeer. Pragtige natuurskoon en die eenhede (veral eenheid 2) is eenvoudig, smaakvol en prakties. Vir herhaling vatbaar.

Perfekte blyplek!

Een van ons heel gunsteling blyplekke! Dis perfek toegerus, met ekstra moeite soos filter koffie (baie lekker) en al is dit baie naby aan Clarens, voel dit asof mens in 'n ander land is. Ons sal keer op keer teruggaan, mooiste berguitsig en fantastiese geriewe.

Perfect place to stay!

One of our very favorite places to stay! It's perfectly equipped, with extra effort like filter coffee (very nice) and even though it's very close to Clarens, it feels like you're in another country. We will go back again and again, most beautiful mountain view and fantastic facilities.

Cute cottage and good value for money.

Good: Neat, clean and well equipped with a wonderful view over the landscape and located close enough to Clarens. Highly recommended for a couple of two. Bad: The chimney of the barbecue place is not according to regulations and smoke blows into the house all the time when one barbecues at the adjacent cottage. Nothing else.

'n Heerlike winter wegbreek-naweek vir twee! Knus voor die kaggel met 'n lekker boek en 'n glasie rooiwyn.

Baie oulike, netjiese kamer. Besondere aandag is aan die details gegee in die kombuisie, slaapkamertjie en badkamer. Doodse stilte (afgesien van een aand se lawaai in 'n naby geleë huis). Pragtige natuurskoon. Sal definitief Arundel Studios weer besoek!

A wonderful winter getaway weekend for two! Cozy up in front of the fireplace with a good book and a glass of red wine.

Very cute, neat room. Particular attention was paid to the details in the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Deadly silence (apart from one night's noise in a nearby house). Beautiful scenery. Will definitely visit Arundel Studios again!

Pragtige skoon Studios. Pragtige natuurskoon, pragtige naghemel. Heerlike stort en bed. Dis jammer dat skoonmaakdienste nie outomaties ingesluit word nie. Daar is ook geen diefwering of stewige deurslotte nie, so dis bietjie negatief.

Ons het vir drie aande ('n langer naweek) in Februarie 2015 by Arundel oorgebly.

Ons het bedags die omgewing verken en was hoofsaaklik snags by die studio. Daar is twee, klein studio's teen mekaar. Arundel is lieflik geleë! Dis stil en rustig met die plaaslike naweek-inwoners wat met hulle honde in die veld stap. Ons het die mooiste volmaan tussen die koppe sien opkom, die helder sterre geniet en die sonsopkoms vanuit die bed lê en waardeer! Ons het in die omgewing gery, gestap en voëls gekyk. Die studio is baie goed toegerus al is daar effens min pakplek vir kruideniersware. Onthou asseblief dat alle oppervlakke baie glad is! Onthou ook om iets warms vir die aand te neem: die aande kan selfs in die somer nogal koel raak. Die studio is warm. Dit het 'n plat, sementdak wat baie warm bak gedurende die dag. Dis heerlik om saans buite te sit en braai. Die bure in die studio langsaan is egter merkbaar naby en ons maak inbreek op mekaar se privaatheid. Mens deel bv. dieselfde skoorsteen en die stoep lig verlig sommer albei plekkies. Dis jammer dat die plekkie nie op enige stadium tydens die naweek skoongemaak is nie. Die asblik wat die twee studio's deel, het onsmaaklik vol geword. Daar is nie voorsiening om self die braaiplekke skoon te maak nie en die braaiplekke moes eintlik ook skoongemaak gewees het. Die bestuurder, Gavin, het geen navraag gedoen i.v.m. met ons verblyf nie. Toe die 'bure' weg is, het ons selfs nog lekkerder gebly! Ons kan Arundel sterk aanbeveel!

We stayed at Arundel for three nights (a longer weekend) in February 2015.

We explored the area during the day and were mainly at the studio at night. There are two, small studios facing each other. Arundel is beautifully located! It's quiet and peaceful with the local weekend residents walking their dogs in the fields. We saw the most beautiful full moon rise between the heads, enjoyed the bright stars and appreciated the sunrise from bed! We drove, walked and bird-watched in the area. The studio is very well equipped, even if there is little storage space for groceries. Please remember that all surfaces are very smooth! Also remember to take something warm for the evening: the evenings can get quite cool even in summer. The studio is hot. It has a flat, cement roof that bakes very hot during the day. It's lovely to sit outside in the evening and have a barbecue. However, the neighbors in the studio next door are noticeably close and we invade each other's privacy. One shares e.g. the same chimney and the porch light simply illuminates both places. It's a shame that the place wasn't cleaned at any point during the weekend. The bin shared by the two studios has become unsightly full. There is no provision to clean the braai places yourself and the braai places should actually have been cleaned as well. The manager, Gavin, made no inquiry regarding with our stay. When the 'neighbours' left, we had an even better stay! We can highly recommend Arundel!

Baie lekker gebly.

Ons het baie lekker by Arundel Studios gebly. Die grondpad om daar te kom is in goeie kondisie en baie kort. Daar is slegs 'n stort in die eenheid maar die buitebad was groot pret vir ons dogtertjie. Die skaduwee areas is min vir 'n kleinding om in te speel, maar voor die hoofhuis het sy lekker rondgehardloop. Die eenheid word slegs elke tweede dag skoongemaak. Dit het egter goed ingepas by ons vakansie. Die braaihout wat voorsien is was van die beste en droogste waarmee ek in 'n lang tyd gebraai het. Die uitsig is fantasties en die piekniekplek langs die rivier was 'n fees. Dankie vir die gasvryheid.

Very nice stay.

We had a great stay at Arundel Studios. The dirt road to get there is in good condition and very short. There is only a shower in the unit but the outdoor bath was great fun for our little girl. The shaded areas are small for a little one to play in, but in front of the main house she had fun running around. The unit is only cleaned every other day. However, it fit in well with our holiday. The braai wood provided was some of the best and driest I have barbequed with in a long time. The view is fantastic and the picnic spot by the river was a feast. Thank you for the hospitality.

'n Pragtige uitsig oor die vlaktes en berge.

Het lekker gebly in die eenheid en sal weer daarheen terugkeer. In ag genome dat die eenheid vir twee persone voorsiening maak, is pakplek en hangplek beperk in beide die badkamer en wooneenheid. Die kaggel is 'n wonderlike "feature" in so 'n koue area. Ons het tydens die gebruik van die gasstoof vermoed dat daar 'n lekplek by die gasbottel in die kas is (gasreuk). Ons het dit dus so min moontlik gebruik, en die bottel andersins toegedraai gehou. Andersins was dit 'n heerlike naweek in 'n uitsonderlike mooi ligging.

A beautiful view of the plains and mountains.

Had a nice stay in the unit and will return there again. Considering that the unit caters for two people, storage space and hanging space are limited in both the bathroom and living unit. The fireplace is a wonderful "feature" in such a cold area. While using the gas stove, we suspected that there was a leak at the gas bottle in the cupboard (gas smell). So we used it as little as possible, and otherwise kept the bottle wrapped. Otherwise it was a lovely weekend in an exceptionally beautiful location.
