Beautiful view of the area and a lovely patio. The guest house is really value for money compared to other places in the area. There are carpets in the rooms and electric blankets for those chilly evenings. A lovely porch to sit and drink coffee.

Pragtige uitsig oor die area en 'n lieflike kuierstoep. Die gastehuis is regtig waarde vir geld in vergelyking met ander plekke in die area. Daar is matte in die kamers en elektriese komberse vir daardie koue aande. 'n Heerlike stoep om te sit en koffie te drink.

Very comfortable with great views in a lovely setting. We stayed in the self-catering cottage at Arum Hill Lodge, which was very spacious with a well-equipped kitchen and a large en-suite bathroom with a bath and a shower. The location allows easy access to most areas, although it is a dirt road. We had beautiful views from our cottage over the hills. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Neat and clean. Could do with standby power. Very neat and clean and good location. No standby electric power, so "loadshedding" can be a problem.

Netjies en skoon. Kan doen met bystandkrag. Baie netjies en skoon en goeie ligging. Geen bystand elektriese krag, so "loadshedding" kan 'n probleem wees.

Comfortable place to stay. The location is good for the area. All attractions are in fairly easy reach. The room was tidy but looking a bit tired and starting to show signs of deterioration. No new capital is injected here and it is probably pretty much hand to mouth. The "lock downs" hurt the places. Eskom's load shedding does not help either. There is no backup power at the location. TV channels are limited. We like sports, so were a bit disappointed. You just adapt. The suite was nice and spacious. The breakfast was included in the price and was really tasty. The bed is comfortable and at least decent. The host was very helpful and hospitable. The food at the restaurant was very good and the restaurant neat and "presentable". There are some other "dives" that were not so great. The Italian restaurant, La Lampara, was expensive. Sorry, the Abingdon Cellar is only open at weekends. The other wine farm is still coming up. The "Wine Cellar" has a very large selection of Cape wines, but the layout put us off. Very dilapidated. Not really uniqueness. However, the owner had good knowledge of wines and was very friendly and hospitable. However, we did not stay. Mostly restaurants and coffee places and trinket type things to do. There is some adventure, but as a destination I don't think the area is that great. The 18-hole golf course at Gowrie Farm will be an asset. There are also a few microbreweries. Not bad, but you can only taste so much beer. There are some cheese places etc. Then there is Trebadore Koffie which was nice.

Gerieflike blyplek. Die ligging is goed vir die area. Alle besienswaardighede is in redelik maklike reikafstand. Die kamer was netjies, maar lyk bietjie moeg en begin tekens van agteruitgang te toon. Daar word nie nuwe kapitaal hier ingestoot nie en dit is seker redelik hand tot mond. Die "lock downs" het die plekke seergemaak. Eskom se load shedding help ook nie. Daar is nie rugsteunkrag by die plek nie. TV-kanale is beperk. Ons hou van sport, so was bietjie teleurgesteld. Mens pas maar aan. Die suite was lekker ruim. Die ontbyt was ingesluit by die prys en was werklik lekker. Die bed is gerieflik en ten minste ordentlik. Die gasheer was baie hulpvaardig en gasvry. Die kos by die restaurant was baie goed en die restaurant netjies en "presentable". Daar is 'n paar ander "dives" wat nie so great was nie. Die Italiaanse restaurant, La Lampara, was peperduur. Jammer, die Abingdon Kelder is net oop oor naweke. Die ander wynplaas kom nog op die been. Die "Wine Cellar" het 'n baie groot verskeidenheid Kaapse wyne, maar die opset het ons afgesit. Baie bouvallig. Nie regtig uniekheid nie. Die eienaar het egter goeie kennis van wyne gehad en was baie vriendelik en gasvry. Ons het egter nie gebly nie. Meestal restaurante en koffieplekke en snuisterytipe dinge om te doen. Daar is bietjie avontuur, maar as 'n bestemming dink ek nie die area is so great nie. Die 18-putjie golfbaan by Gowrie Farm sal 'n aanwins wees. Daar is ook 'n paar mikrobrouerye. Nie sleg nie, maar mens kan ook net soveel bier proe. Daar is 'n paar kaasplekkies ens. Dan is daar Trebadore Koffie wat nice was.

It was a very pleasant, neat place with the nicest porch and view. The driver helped us so nicely in terms of directions to the wedding destination due to poor signal in that whole area and still load shedding. The breakfast was delicious, room was neat.

Dit was 'n baie aangename, netjiese plek met die lekkerste stoep en uitsig. Die bestuurder het ons so mooi gehelp in terme van aanduidings tot by die troue-bestemming as gevolg van swak sein in daai hele area en nog beurtkrag. Die ontbyt was heerlik, kamer was netjies.

Wonderful stay in a well appointed establishment. We appreciated the lovely surroundings and all the amenities that were available. Making our own wood fire in the evening and having a restful sleep all added to our enjoyment. The breakfasts were tasty and well prepared. Thank you!

The scenery is wonderful, very peaceful, and we would definitely recommend it. The new owner (apparently only there 3 weeks) Luke was very on his nerves, but with time I believe he will be a fantastic host. We really enjoyed it, had a wonderful overnight stay and will definitely visit Arum Hill Lodge again next year during our son's rugby at Michaelhouse.

Natuurskoon is wonderlik, baie rustig, en sal ons dit definitief aanbeveel. Die nuwe eienaar (blykbaar slegs 3 weke daar) Luke was baie op sy senuwees, maar met tyd glo ek sal hy 'n fantastiese gasheer wees. Ons het dit regtig geniet, heerlik oornag en sal definitief volgende jaar tydens ons seun se rugby te Michaelhouse, Arum Hill Lodge weer besoek.
