Marvellous stay
Pros:

This was a true 5 star hotel. The services were great, and the fact that they had a play area and program for the kids...genius idea.

Beautiful country estate
Pros:

Escape from the City for a few days. The hotel is perfectly located on a large golf estate by the lagoon. Plenty to do in and around the estate for fun and fitness. Hermanus and Kleinmond short drive away

Pros:

My wife and I stopped over at Arabella Golf Resort and Spa for three nights. The staff were absolutely amazing, the food brilliant, the breakfast exceptional! In addition I had an accident involving me to be rushed to the emergency section of Mediclinic Hermanus. The duty Supervisor realised the urgency, and treated me whilst the ambulance was en route. Quickly fixed up, the staff Supervisor at Arabella personally drove to collect us and take us back to the hotel at 1.30 in the morning.
A very well managed hotel with professional staff that use initiative.

Great work Arabella, we will be back. Highly recommended. Thank you!!

Wonderful getaway for the Easter weekend
Pros:

Lovely, comfortable stay for 2 nights. The resort, grounds and surrounding estuary/ wetlands are beautiful. Welcoming and friendly staff especially in the lounge area. Child friendly which was a major plus for us. The staff are very attentive and go out of their way to accomodate you. Awesome breakfasts with a good variety of options. The lady making the flapjacks/ pancakes deserves a shoutout! Absolutely delicious! Not to mention the ladies manning the egg stations! The eggs benedict and omlettes were spot on! Rooms are comfortable and clean. Overall great facilities and highly recommended. We would definitely return.

And not to forgot - the live entertainment both on Saturday and Sunday evening were great!

Thank you for an awesome stay Arabella!
