We had the most lovely house in Swellendam. We liked the creative interior with split-levels.The view, even from out your bed was gorgeous! Unfortunately we stayed only for 1 day. Hopefully we will come back.

Questions about Arumvale Country House
What time is check-in and check-out at Arumvale Country House?
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 Arumvale Country House allow pets?
Yes — the property states that pets are allowed. Size, number and fee are set by the property rather than by us, so say you're bringing a pet when you book and we'll confirm the terms before anything is charged.
Is there parking at Arumvale Country House?
Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.
Does Arumvale Country House have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Arumvale Country House 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 Arumvale Country House?
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.
