Puik keuse om daardie spesiale geleentheid te vier.

Netjiese, ruim en gerieflike plek vir 'n rustige wegbreek na stilte.

Pragtige plek en baie goed toegerus. Uitstekende diens van 'n baie entoesiastiese eienaar.

Die enigste nadeel is die feit dat daar nie 'n uitsig van die see is nie. Maar die see is stapafstand en die pragtige plek en goeie diens maak op daarvoor.

Pragtige kamer.

Die blyplek was netjies, maar die eienaar het ons ongemaklik laat voel omdat ons met 'n klein kind gereis het en toe die bespreking gedoen is, en bevestig is is daar nie aan ons genoem dat daar geen kinders toegelaat word nie. Ook het ons wyn by veskeie wynplase gekoop en toe ons van dit by die swembad wou nuttig, moes ons 'n "corkage fee" betaal, maar bo in ons kamer kon ons dit verniet genuttig het? Die ontbyt was voortreflik en moet noem dat die eienaars uit hul pad gegaan het om ons vroeër te kon bedien aangesien ons voor laagwater grotte toe wou gaan. Dit is 'n baie mooi, netjiese plekkie. Geraas vanaf kroeg laatnag kan steurend wees vir reisigers.

Beautiful room.

The place to stay was neat but the owner made us feel uncomfortable because we were traveling with a small child and when the reservation was made and confirmed we were not told that no children were allowed. Also, we bought wine from several wine farms and when we wanted to use some of it at the pool, we had to pay a "corkage fee", but upstairs in our room we could have used it for free? The breakfast was excellent and must mention that the owners went out of their way to serve us earlier as we wanted to go to the caves before low tide. It is a very nice, neat little place. Noise from bar late at night can be disturbing for travelers.

Baie netjiese eenheid in pargtige Arniston.

Met die eenheid self het daar niks geskort nie. Ongelukkig, na my swem by die strand, reg vir 'n stil middag se lees en ontspan, vind ek die musiek oor die luidsprekers om die swembadarea hinderlik hard. Ek was die enigste gas. Selfs 'n toe deur het nie die lawaai uitgedoof nie. Tussen 4 en 6 het ek die eienaar herhaaldelik versoek om die musiek af te draai of af te sit, en verduidelik ek om na die voëls of see te luister. Sy houding was egter dat 'smaak verskil', en na 'n heftige onderonsie het hy die musiek in 'n woedebui tydelik afgesit. Ek was jammer ek het bespreek om die aand daar te eet, want die ervaring was vir my bederf; boonop is die 'musiek' weer aangesit. Dus, mooi plek, en as jy hou van die tipe musiek wat gewoonlik by Pick & Pay of Checkers in die agtergrond blêr - dan is dit jou plek. As jy van stilte hou, dan nie. Ek sal nie weer gaan nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Very neat unit in lovely Arniston.

There was nothing wrong with the unit itself. Unfortunately, after my swim at the beach, ready for a quiet afternoon of reading and relaxing, I find the music over the speakers around the pool area annoyingly loud. I was the only guest. Even a closed door did not quell the noise. Between 4 and 6 I repeatedly requested the owner to turn down or turn down the music, explaining to listen to the birds or sea. However, his attitude was that 'tastes differ', and after a heated argument he temporarily turned off the music in a fit of rage. I was sorry I had booked to eat there that night, because the experience was spoiled for me; moreover, the 'music' was turned on again. So, nice place, and if you like the type of music that usually plays in the background at Pick & Pay or Checkers - then this is your place. If you like silence, then don't. I will not go again.

Dear Elizabeth

You were not the only guest staying with us, you even chatted to the other guests in the restaurant the evening. As per the music, we did switch it off in the inner courtyard, we also closed doors and windows leading from the guest house into the courtyard. You later demanded that we switch it off totally. Which we did. We receive so many compliments about our selection of music. It is true in life that it is impossible to please everyone all the time. Be that as it may, our staff who witnessed you complaining about our music, informed us that the awful music you were referring to was coming from a house behind us.

Warm regards
Adrian and Jill

Heerlike atmosfeer en eienaars was baie gasvry en vriendelik.

Enigste kommentaar wat ek kan gee is dat dames wat die kamer skoonmaak eers net moet wag dat 'n mens reeds die perseel verlaat het voor hulle inkom en die beddegoed aftrek en dit nie doen as jy vir ontbyt gaan nie. Dit voel soos 'n inbraak op mens se privaatheid en dat jy so gou moontlik moet uitgaan.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Lovely atmosphere and owners were very hospitable and friendly.

The only comment I can give is that the ladies who clean the room should only wait until one has already left the premises before they come in and remove the bedclothes and don't do this when you go for breakfast. It feels like an invasion of one's privacy and that you need to get out as soon as possible.

Our 2 night stay was a wonderful weekend getaway experience! We were warmly welcomed on arrival and very well looked after during our stay. The breakfast was superb!

The room was spacious with plush, soft bed linen. The guesthouse is close enough to walk to the main hotel and beach. Their own bar has a wide variety of choice. We enjoyed a lovely dinner prepared by the guesthouse (available and pre-booked on the day). We ate at the local restaurant in the fishing village too but they are not licensed. You can take your own wine, with a corkage fee.

Die weer was terrible maar die verblyf was great.

'n Baie nice en vriendelike gastehuis. Ten spyte van die slegte weer, het ons steeds nie ingehok gevoel nie. Die eenheid was skoon en netjies. DIe afwesigheid van 'n TV in die kamer was eintlik baie goed - want dan kan mens beter rus, gesels en kuier. Ek sal dalk volgende keer 'n meer intieme pub-gevoel wil ervaar (hulle het, o.a. 'n ongelooflike verskeidenheid van whiskies, sal dus moet terugkeer!

Lovely beaches, dunes, and architecture with slow-paced life.

Just stayed a night, as part of a road trip. Breakfast was great, perfect balance between privacy and attentiveness. Low key, everything was spotless and the staff was all lovely. If it was warmer the pool would have been very welcome. Would have enjoyed 1 more day there. Great weekend getaway with outdoor options and nice backroads through small towns to get there.

Rustig.

Vriendelike ontvangs. Die kamer is smaakvol ingerig en baie ruim,netjies en silwerskoon. Die buiteruimte is gerieflik met baie sitplek en 'n swembad. BlueSky het 'n restaurant en die kos is puik. Die sjef en kelners is tops! Die buffet-ontbyt was ook 'n wenner!

Restful.

Friendly reception. The room is tastefully furnished and very spacious, neat and spotless. The outdoor space is comfortable with plenty of seating and a swimming pool. BlueSky has a restaurant and the food is great. The chef and waiters are tops! The buffet breakfast was also a winner!

Vriendelike gasvryheid.

Ons het die twee dae baie geniet. Colin was baie behulpsaam selfs toe ons in die sand vasgeval het.

Friendly hospitality.

We enjoyed the 2 days a lot. Colin was very helpful, even when we got stuck in the sand.

'n Absolute juweel van 'n gastehuis!

Die verblyf was onverbeterlik - skoon, ruim, netjies en die kamers smaakvol versier. Bo en behalwe die verblyf, is die eienaars die mees gasvrye mense wat ons al ooit teëgekom het. Ontbyt was ook heerlik. Die kersie op die koek is die lieflike "splash pool" wat tot gaste se beskikking is.

An absolute gem of a guesthouse!

The accommodation was unbeatable - clean, spacious, tidy and the rooms tastefully decorated. On top of the accommodation, the owners are the most hospitable people we have ever encountered. Breakfast was also delicious. The icing on the cake is the lovely "splash pool" that is available to guests.

Lieflik!

Pragtige blou en wit tema, vriendelike eienaars, baie luukse kamers met special touches soos 'n koffiemasjien en lugverkoeling. Heerlike, massiewe ontbyt, lekkerste tuisgebakte muffins ooit. Ek sal vir seker weer daar bly.

Lovely!

Beautiful blue and white theme, friendly owners, very luxurious rooms with special touches such as a coffee machine and air conditioning. Delicious, massive breakfast, tastiest home-baked muffins ever. I will stay there again for sure.

Jill and Adrian certainly know what hospitality means.

This B&B is highly recommended especially as it caters for dinners as well. This is particularly welcome as Arniston does not have many restaurants. The food was excellent as was the service. We will definitely return when we visit Arniston again. Adrian also gave us a tour of the village and the surrounding area taking us to places only accessible by 4X4 or on foot. This is a gesture much appreciated.

Hi Ralph,

It was a pleasure meeting you, thank you for the lovely comments. We hope that you will come back soon.

Lekkerste buffet-ontbyt met die mooiste groot kamer en moderne badkamer.

Ons was so verras met hierdie plekkie. Stylvol dekor met groot kamers en moderne badkamer. Die ontbyt was fantasties! Daar was tot 'n "meet and greet" met die ander gaste waar eetgoedjies uitgesit was.

We were so surprised with this place. Stylish decor with large rooms and modern bathroom. The breakfast was fantastic! There was even a "meet and greet" with the other guests where snacks were laid out.
