16 on Main sleeps up to 12 people with four double rooms and two twin rooms; ideal for a big family or a group of friends looking to get away for a weekend at the beach. The house comes fully kitted with linen, towels and a comprehensively equipped kitchen. Only a walk or short drive away is the Arniston beach, perfect for a summer’s day out, or the open plan lounge and kitchen with a TV and DStv means that a visit in winter is just as welcoming if you desire that well deserved rest with your feet up.
Close to Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip of Africa, Arniston was once only a fishing community. When you visit Arniston today it is always advised that a trip to the fishing village is well worth it, characterized by lime-washed thatch houses the village remains unspoiled and has in fact been declared a national monument.
From April to January whales frequently visit the Arniston coastline, but if you want to be guaranteed a sighting it is best to visit during the peak months of September and October when the whales come in close to the shoreline to mate and calve.
There are plenty of things to do in and around Arniston, and just over 2 hours from Cape Town, 16 on Main is the perfect place for a quick weekend getaway or a longer stay if time allows.

56 guests' feedbackLots of space, love the kitchen and eating area.
With a family of young boys, there was lots of space for everybody to be relaxed. Nice and clean. The indoor fireplace was a perfect touch for the cold weekend we had. The host was so helpful, could message her at any time! Will definitely come again.
We had a fantastic time. We had everything at our disposal. The host who welcomed us was excellent. We will definitely use the accommodation again.
I would highly recommend 16 on Main to anyone, as I have already booked the house for my family. It is a house so neat where you can just go to relax, the tranquility itself.
The stay was very pleasant. We would definitely want to spend another night in 16 on Main. It was pleasant, slept well.
Everything was exactly right. The house is wonderfully equipped, spacious and comfortable.
My family and I had the most fantastic time.
Accommodation was absolutely amazing. Kid-friendly. Enjoyed the weekend.
Great break away with friends. Place is clean and fun to stay in. Very well equipped.
Great house with everything you need, only stayed 1 night though. Enjoyed our stay.
Arniston is a very nice place to live. The bathroom where the shower and basin are is very, very small; I can't even comfortably use it. The area outside at the braai is not equipped to accommodate all weather conditions. The rain caught us on our weekend and the part of the braai was not under roof. The patio was wet, there was not enough drainage for water and it accumulated on the patio. The power plugs on the outside do not work, the top of the stove is loose and could be a safety risk.
I had an absolutely fantastic time at 16 On Main Street.
We had a very nice stay. The house is neat and well furnished. Everything was at our disposal. Would only wish for a pool on the yard.
The house is very well equipped with everything that can be needed. There are no shortages at any level. I will use the house again in the future.
16 on Main felt like home! It had everything one could possibly need, and more. The service was also excellently efficient, from the moment we made a booking enquiry, all the way to the end when we checked out.
The house is spacious and has a fully stocked kitchen of crockery, serve ware, etc. Everything was clean and bed linen and towels were of good quality. We had everything we needed for the perfect weekend away with family.
Thank you for an awesome weekend, the house was clean and well-equipped. It had everything we needed and so much more. We will definitely be back.
The house was great - it had everything we needed for the kids and the dogs and really made our holiday relaxed and unforgettable! We will definitely be going back to our little home away from home!
Comfortable spacious accommodation, good location, all necessities for a comfortable stay. Will come again and definitely recommend. Thank you very much for the friendly reception.
The house is equipped with all crockery, cutlery and utensils necessary. The first overall impression was neat and tidy. But the kitchen sink area was in a horrible unhygienic state: the tap was broken and just about out of its fitting and dripped continuously, wasting a huge amount of water. The wooden cupboard it is built into is rotting away and moldy due to this. For a kitchen area, from a hygiene point of view, this is not acceptable. Though all the appliances are present and available for use, the door of the tumble dryer, for instance, was not in working order. There was a large dead cockroach in the shower and the shower was missing a shower head. In terms of entertainment, the house is well equipped with ample space for inside and outside meals. Part of the decor was a very old fish hook (next to the fireplace) that got caught in one of the kids' hands (She stumbled and used the wall to balance) and we needed to visit ER in Bredasdorp as we could not get it out. The house is also not well equipped for loadshedding. Overall the experience was met with mixed feelings: these facts prove it to not be value for money. The location of the house is great, close to the beach and the hotel. Sufficient parking area for 3 vehicles. The wifi worked well.
I went with my family and my sister's family. The house is perfect for two families to stay in and be together, as well as have your own space. The owner is very helpful and always available at a drop of a hat and the ambiance is totally peaceful and relaxing. The house is also a short walk from the beach and the deck of the hotel for a few sundowner. Thank you for a great stay.
Our stay was amazing. Thank you 16 on Main.
It was a great family getaway for us. The house is well equipped, and very strategically located. We will definitely come back.
It had been a really nice break. Don't have any complaints.
It was a special weekend filled with happy memories.
16 On Main is a delightful guest house. The fireplace inside was especially nice in the cold weather. It would have been nice to have an indoor grill as well, but the kitchen is so well appointed that it suffices as a Plan B. We didn't always feel too safe with people knocking on the door to sell things. Even if the gate was closed, they knocked on the windows. Otherwise the house is perfect - clean, tidy, modern and lovely bedding with even beach towels.
The large spaces of the house are pleasant. Lovely quiet environment. Felt safe.
16 on Main was awesome.
Place is well equipped and one was close to the sea. It's the first time we've been to Arniston as a family and would definitely recommend it to anyone.
The beds and pillows are so comfortable, sleeps better than my own bed. Duvet covers and blankets are very snug. Lovely spacious house.
Fully equipped with all your required needs. You only need to bring your clothes and food. The house is awesome and we loved it. Thank you for having us.
House well laid out and equipped.
Was fun for the kids too.
My family thoroughly enjoyed staying at 16 on Main. A well equipped, clean, spacious, safe place. Will definitely recommend for a group of 10 - 12.
Very good value for money. Friendly staff. House is very tidy and kitchen is fully equipped with all appliances (and more than enough glasses of all kinds!) DStv was not working, but that was probably due to weather conditions. Would definitely recommend 16 on Main!
Centrally located in a quiet street, good quality finishing, great space for entertainment.
Maintenance work required on windows.
This place is perfect for large groups, it is very well stocked, beautifully finished and super comfortable beds. great privacy and it had an amazing surprise with a fire place in the lounge, everyone loved that, in the cold weather we had. Our host was very accommodating.
Arniston is 'n heerlike wegbreekplek en baie rustig. 16 on Main het aan alle verwagtinge voldoen. Vir 'n groot familie of vriende is dit die ideale plek. As ek een ding kan vra wat hulle kan verbeter dan sal dit die wasbakkies in die badkamers wees. Is regtig 'n bietjie te klein maar ons het 'n wonderlike tyd gehad. Voel sommer nou weer 'n nuwe mens.
Had a fantastic weekend. Would definitely recommend and will also go back again if we ever decide on Arniston again.
16 on Main was a wonderful place to stay. We were pleasantly surprised with everything at our disposal, you literally just needed yourself and your food for a wonderful weekend getaway. Will definitely use 16 on Main again in the future.
Owner is very friendly. We had a nice stay. Highly recommended.
We enjoyed our stay. One of the toddler's toys went under the bed and when we took is out there was heaps of dust. Please just clean under the beds as well. Other than that, it was perfect.
Comfortable, clean and extremely spacious home.
The house exceeded my expectations and was so neat and beautiful! We enjoyed it very much.
The house has everything you need. It is spacious and very neat. We would definitely recommend this.
We were four girlfriends that stayed there from Monday to Friday. We felt very safe with the alarm and cameras that ensures you don't feel uncomfortable for even a moment. It was wonderfully quiet and yet we had every kind of comfort that you could think of. It really feels like home from home. It is important to know that the nearest shops are in Bredasdorp - so make sure you have everything. The house is excdeptionally well equipped. There is even a small fridge for drinks. Do yourself a favor and plan to eat at least one dinner at the hotel. Delicious food and a winning view!
Beautiful, neat and spacious homely surroundings. I will definitely make a booking there soon!
Spacious house, value for money. You can see that it has the potential to be a great holiday house, even thought we used the accommodation for business.
Facilities in the house was very comfortable and everything is there, even an axe to chop wood. The house is very nice with braai facilities outside with a table and chairs as well as sun loungers. We could eat peacefully and just be cosy in the relaxing atmosphere of Arniston.
Except that the area is a bit unsafe (as posters on the walls warn), there are more than enough security measures. The cleaner was very pleasant. The space was perfect for our group and it was cozy in the cold. |We really enjoyed it and my family only have good things to say about the accommodation.
Absolutely fantastic accommodation winter and summer. Will definitely come back again.
I have visit a couple of houses in Arniston over the years, but this is really a nice place. It is very clean, have a lot of space for big family's and a nice outside braai area. The cleaning lady Carolyne is a very friendly lady and know how to keep a house clean. The fire place is very nice for the winter nights. I will definitely recommend this place to other people. I will be back
We had such a wonderful time! Fully equipped, no hassles of any kind! Awesomely surprised with the cleanliness and spacious rooms! All the equipment you could possible need. Will definitely recommend to others and use 16 on Main again.
Atmosphere is happy and welcoming.
