About the Hotel

Arabella Country Estate, R44 To Kleinmond, Overberg, Hermanus, South Africa

Located in the Kogelberg Biosphere, one of the world's richest floral reserves, Arabella Hotel, Golf & Spa overlooks a spectacularly attractive natural lagoon surrounded by lush landscape just 90 km from Cape Town International.

Elegant Room Design

Views of the lagoon, the mountains and the hotel's beautiful grounds are framed by floor to ceiling sliding glass doors that open onto private balconies or terraces. Décor is contemporary with rich woods and soft furnishings taking inspiration from South African design and the UNESCO reserve surrounding the hotel.

Local Culinary Experiences

Drinks, cakes and light snacks are served all day at Barnabas Bar with the option to enjoy light meals from 11h00 to 18h00 with views over the pool.

Wellness and Recreation

Experience award-winning spa indulgence, sauna and hydrotherapy healing, pool relaxing, as well as gym and tennis fitness in a Hermanus countryside destination. The hotel's main pool, named after the Laughing Waters waterfall that fills it, is located outside with a pool deck that's perfect for lounging and offers beautiful views of the mountain surroundings.

Premier Golf Course

This beautiful top ranked 72-par 18-hole course features a fabled 18th hole, a bucket-list 8th hole, tricky sand traps and challenging water hazards. Relaxing is easy at Arabella Hotel, Golf & Spa with not only an award-winning golf course, but also a driving range and putt-putt area.

The hotel offers stunning views of the golf course and river, with friendly staff but few guests during my stay. The carpet in the passage needs attention, but the room itself was perfect.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of great comfort and convenience, with spacious and cozy rooms, and excellent indoor pool facilities, perfect for a rainy weekend getaway. However, some attention to detail was lacking, as the electrical sockets were not properly checked before my arrival.

The hotel has potential but needs some updates. The rooms are somewhat disappointing compared to expectations, but the hotel is located in a fantastic area with breathtaking views. The dining experience was a mix of top quality and disappointment, and the service, while friendly, could use improvement in attentiveness.

The rooms may have been modern 20 years ago. The picture showed 2 double beds, an improvement but still short of expectations.
