The place was awesome. You could tell a lot of attention and thought was put into the details of how to make this comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. Gift was a great host. I would highly recommend this place to everyone.
wonderful property ...terracing outside room to relax ...very quiet... owner was happy to take us to a local restaurant and collect us .....10 mins walk to shopping mall ... 15 mins walk to Melville ...
We had a lovely night at Arum place - its a v quiet & clean place with v comfy beds. Breakfast was delicious & they were super helpful offering recommendations for local eats & excursions. Would stay again!
We stayed here for two separate stays on our trip to South Africa- the first time the room was stunning - huge and with beautiful new bath and shower in the room, plus free sweets and drinks. The second time was a slightly less nice room but still huge, well stocked and very comfortable. Breakfasts were excellent and the hosts were extremely kind offering to drive us down to local restaurants in the evening and pick us up.
The resident pets are also an absolute delight to hang out with!
