BiancaSouth AfricaAll went well. Dis
Location was accurate
The house was full of ants
ChanéSouth AfricaThe gardens were beautiful and well maintained. The staff were also super helpful and friendly!
The bathroom seemed a little run down with holes in the bath where ants were making a new next each day.
melloSouth AfricaThey must do something to get rid of the flies. Those cats must be fed because they look starved that's why they are always surrounding us when there's food.
Louis AvrilFranceLoin de tout.
L'accueil, l'espace dans le logement et le jardin.
Vraiment loin de tout, véhicule indispensable. Contrairement aux logements loués, pas équipé pour se faire à manger, ni table.
LebogangSouth AfricaStaff was welcoming & friendly.
Room had no bar fridge nor microwave & it was smelly. We had to keep windows open until 19h00pm.
LivhuwaniSouth AfricaA very quiet place for refreshing a mind.

What we’d check for you here
- How many rooms they will hold at once, for how long, and on what terms.
- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Aruka
What time is check-in and check-out at Aruka?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Aruka allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Aruka?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Aruka have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Does Aruka have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Aruka?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Aruka have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Aruka?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
