Very satisfactory. The stay was all we wanted, which was peace and quiet! It is a beautiful setting and a great view of the Langeberg Mountains. The cupboard fittings in the kitchen are tired and need some attention, and there were a few signs of maintenance required. But overall, it was a wonderful stay.

A comfortably happy place to recharge travel-weary batteries. We were warmly welcomed and shown around the rustic cottage, which proved perfect for our one-night 'en-route' stay. Quick access to the N2. Helpful basic stock in the kitchen, refreshing swimming pool, relaxing 'stoep' to unwind on, natural farm and country sounds, and a comfortable bed in a delightfully arranged cottage.

Lovely stay, nice braai facilities and beautiful surroundings. Wonderful stay, most beautiful place and breathtaking view of the mountains. So peaceful with a farm feel.

Heerlik gebly, lekker braaigeriewe en pragtige omgewing. Heerlik gebly, mooiste plekkie en asemrowende uitsig op berge. So vreedsaam met plaasgevoel.

Arumvale is an ideal stop over along the Garden Route. I had an excellent stay at Arumvale. It was comfortable, spacious, equipped and clean. Good value for money.

Peaceful, restful and comfortable accommodation. Highly recommended. Stables cottage was lovely. Rural atmosphere yet close enough to town. Peaceful, comfortable accommodation with breathtaking views across the Hermitage Valley to the mountains beyond.

Fresh air, beauty, silence and the idyllic farm life. We had a very nice stay.

Vars lug, skoonheid, stilte en die idilliese plaaslewe. Ons het baie lekker gebly.
