68 guests' feedbackCompletely relaxing, laid-back stay with a congenial hostess.
One of the neatest places I've ever stayed. Owner and staff are very friendly and helpful.
It was heavenly. Sunrise was stunning.
We had a great stay and the hostess was very friendly and extremely professional. The room was comfortable and clean.
Thelma is a great host! The house is central and very comfortable.
We had a very pleasant stay. The host was very friendly and helpful and the breakfast is generous and tasty. We will definitely use the accommodation again. The guest house is within walking distance of all amenities. We appreciated that they had a generator that kept the electricity on during load shedding.
Arniston is one of the hidden places with the most beautiful houses and nice peaceful atmosphere.
Best in those regions.
Host friendly, and breakfast great, room clean and the guest house had a generator so easy - TV and DStv and Netflix, very close to the beach.
The guest house has a wonderful atmosphere and we could make ourselves at home. The breakfast was delicious and the owners are very friendly and hospitable. We would go there again anytime.
Will book there again anytime.
We had a truly excellent experience. Very good facilities.
We really enjoyed our stay over Christmas. The place is nice and the staff are really friendly and helpful.
Guesthouse is easy to find and staff is friendly, room was spacious, clean and tidy.
Made friends as well.
Neat, perfect location and excellent service. The breakfast was delicious. Thelma was amazing.
It was truly a pleasure to stay there! Thelma is an excellent hostess. Beautiful rooms.
See stars.
We were well received, tasty breakfast and pleasant people, recommend them with love.
The guest house is well located being close enough to walk to the harbour, beach and hotel that serves good meals. The hosts are hands on and very welcoming. Definitely the place to stay in Arniston.
Location: Excellent! Within walking distance of all amenities and sightseeing. Atmosphere: Welcoming, convenient, creative, interesting interior decoration. The host, Thelma, met us at the front door. She is extremely helpful and friendly and gave us good advice about things to do and see, even when it was raining. We had a great variety for breakfast!
Friendly people, nice breakfast.
The guest house is very neat and clean - and walking distance from the sea. Our hostess was very helpful and friendly.
The hostess was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about current affairs.
This is a beautiful guesthouse. The hostess was extremely friendly and helpful, as was the domestic lady. This is a very professionally run establishment. The only small downfall is the vehicles park in front of the guesthouse just off the road so you are a little insecure.
Wonderful breakfast, comfortable rooms and everyone at Arniston guest house is very hospitable.
Cute guesthouse with the cutest atmosphere.
Sien sterre.
We would stay there again without question!
Our host was very dedicated to her guests and was very helpful. She knew a lot about the area. A recommendation to all.
Owners were super friendly and helpful, rooms lovely and spacious, worth the stay.
It is the most unusual house that I have ever seen. The interior design is perfect. The owners are very friendly and warm hosts. The house is close to the beach and to the only restaurant in Arniston. We will visit this place soon.
Thank you Thelma and Gerrie for your kindness, we had a nice stay at your beautiful place and your omelettes are very tasty. Keep well.
A guest house with a lovely atmosphere. Neat and the service is of high quality. Gerrie and Thelma went out of their way to help. Will definitely stay there again.
Overall very peaceful and relaxing environment. One definitely gets your money's worth. Very caring and welcoming service towards their customers.
The guest house is very comfortable, clean and tidy, and within walking distance of the beautiful beach. The very friendly hostess and her staff truly serve a hit breakfast. Thank you very much.
We stayed at Arniston Guest House one night as we had a wedding to attend just outside of Arniston. Thelma was very friendly and accommodating from the start. Although we booked a double room that would share a bathroom, she offered us an extra room with its own bathroom that was available. The rooms are very neat and have everything you could want. There is also a small bar with an honesty bar. The breakfast at the joint breakfast table was very nice and cozy and there were wonderful conversations. Would definitely recommend Arniston Guest House. Thank you very much Thelma for all your extra effort.
Arniston Guest House has a special architecture and atmosphere. The reception was friendly, the stay was pleasant and the surroundings delightful.
Extra effort was made to welcome guests. Extremely friendly reception. Good breakfast!
Our stay was really pleasant. We were received very kindly and referred to everything there is to see. Guest house very neat. Omelet at breakfast, from the books. Pleasant experience. Thank you.
See stars.
Would recommend to any person. We had a great time.
Arniston Guest House is a charming stone house just a hop and skip from the beach. The rooms are comfortable and tastefully decorated. It is however the endearing Kassies Bay duo, Elize and Christine, who stole the limelight. Elize (interim manager) and Christine (chef) were the reason we didn't want to leave the breakfast table, long after our teacups went cold, with their anecdotes about Arniston and Kassies Bay. Arniston Guest House is filled with charm, inside and out.
Owners very friendly, exquisitely furnished, delicious breakfast. Thank you very much, will definitely be back.
Thelma's hospitality and warm welcome made our weekend special. We couldn't have celebrated our 33rd anniversary at a better place. The privacy and knowing that the hostess was close by was assuring. Within walking distance from the beach but protected from the wind and the masses of people. Will recharge our batteries here again!
Best omelette ever and breakfast.
Very neat and clean room and bathroom. TV with full DStv.
Friendly reception and service. Sympathetic understanding for members of our group who couldn't make it because of illness. High standards throughout. Neat and tasteful. Delicious breakfast. You will see us again!
Thelma was fantasizing. I got sick and she went to such lengths to arrange me an appointment with her doctor.
We were on a getaway weekend and our experience was incredible. The guesthouse is neat, clean, beautiful and convenient and the breakfast and hospitality from the owner was impeccable. We're definitely going again!
Our visit was very nice! The hostess is so so friendly and hospitable! Very accommodating when one of our friends couldn't come for both nights! Didn't want to ask for money for the evening! Would recommend and I myself will go back again!
We wanted to rest near the sea. Just reading, kicking off shoes and eating well. We feel refreshed again!
We enjoyed the visit. Beautiful place with delicious breakfast! Will definitely recommend it!
Thank you very much Thelma for all your hospitality and special effort to accommodate our little man. We definitely enjoyed our visit with you very much. The guest house itself was beautiful, clean and comfortable, your breakfast was top notch and your staff were also very helpful and friendly. We will definitely see you again. I definitely recommend you to anyone who wants to 'become human' again in that environment.
Recommended. Delicious breakfast and friendly people.
Very hospitable reception and accommodation and very delicious breakfast. Very beautiful house.
Warm (late night) reception, friendly hosts, comfy room, delicious breakfast, walking distance from the ocean. What more do you need?
One of the best client based establishments we have stayed at in a long time. Even when we let too early for breakfast, we received a breakfast pack without even having to ask for it. Really great. Highly recommended.
I definitely recommend this place to anyone.
Very nice accommodation with very good service. We got really spoiled!
I would happily spend more time visiting this area and guest house.
We felt very welcome and the owners are very accommodating!
We were welcomed with a smile on arrival as well as every morning at a delicious breakfast. The room was clean and well appointed. We will definitely return and highly recommend this gem of a place.
The accommodation was painfully neat and very clean. The hostess was very hospitable and professional and every worker in the guest house was extremely friendly. I had a lovely room with an outside door, which was lovely in the heat. Thelma, the hostess, put a lot of effort into breakfast and the omelette and fruit salad deserve mention. The laundry is included in the price and was very handy. I would stay there again anytime, although I think the accommodation is quite expensive. However, there was no fault to be found with the service and the room.
Very well received by Thelma. Breakfast neat and tasty. Service great.
We enjoyed it very much. Thelma is an excellent host. The guesthouse is beautiful and has a homely atmosphere. The breakfast was delicious.
Had a wonderful stay. Beautiful guest house. Lovely hostess. Delicious breakfast. Big spacious clean rooms. Would recommend it to anyone.
My husband booked our stay, it was our 4 year anniversary. He specifically chose a room with a double bed. When we arrived it was to a room with 2 single beds. The owner was clearly mortified by the error and attempted to appease us and make the best of an unpleasant situation. Please ensure that the website reflects the correct information at all times so that this doesn't happen to another couple.
