About The Arniston Spa Hotel

Amidst a charming historical fishing village on the edge of the azure Indian Ocean lies the Arniston Hotel, where fishermen set out at dawn to cast their lines and where an endless beach meets the sky. Sea-facing rooms have private balconies and garden rooms open on to the pool. Savour the freshly caught line fish of the day by candlelight, and plan your next excursion. Fishing, walks, picnics in the beautiful surrounding nature reserves or lazing on the beach. Golf, tennis and shipwreck museum nearby. Superb whale watching. Easy two-hour drive from Cape Town. Conference facilities for 100 delegates. TGCSA 4-Star Hotel

Guest Impressions

Arniston Hotel and Spa

"We had the most amazing weekend at The Arniston Hotel and Spa. The service and food was fantastic and the rooms were just wonderful. The spa treatments were "a treat" and this is definitely on my to do list on a regular basis. Can certainly recommend this Hotel for value for money for 4 star treatment. Loved every moment and was very sorry to leave."

Portfolio Expert Review
"We’ve enjoyed a few amazingly relaxing, decadent, romantic week-ends without kids at the Arniston Spa Hotel, so we were a bit apprehensive about the experience might be like with our two girls. The reality is we had a wonderful time – a spacious family suite, slow and delicious breakfasts, pampering at the Gingko Spa, adventures to the cave and in the ocean, and seafood feasts at night. With both girls being into surfing, Arniston is a perfect destination with its warm and safe beaches. And there is something so completely exhilarating about the wildness and beauty of Arniston’s coastline. Arniston Spa Hotel is an ideal week-end getaway from Cape Town, either as a family or just the two of you."

We've proudly represented The Arniston Spa Hotel since 1994. Here is a nostalgic look at their entry from our 2017 Printed Guide Book.
HOTEL - ARNISTON
"The Arniston Spa Hotel, a leisurely two-hour drive from Cape Town, is located next to a 200-year-old fishing village, surrounded by pristine beaches and nature reserves. With panoramic views of the unspoilt ocean and endless beaches, and a relaxation spa on site, this is one of the most relaxing getaways offered in the Cape! The bedrooms are elegantly decorated with additional comforts. Some have fireplaces and some have sea-facing rooms with private balconies. The patio-facing rooms open onto a tranquil garden and swimming pool. The breakfast buffet is an appetising spread of traditional and healthy foods. The evening menu blends traditional South African cuisine with modern innovations. Apart from the many spa delights, guests can enjoy snorkelling and bathing at the beaches, hiking in the dunes and whale watching in season. 4-Star Hotel."
