The Colonial on Arundel

Guestbook Reviews:

The following reviews are from The Colonial on Arundel's guestbook.

Back in Germany we found your E-mail welcoming us back home.
Molly we have to thank you and Conor again for two remarkable, unforgetable days in ADDO.
I would like to repeat that your kitchen is outstanding and by far the best we had on our South Africa trip!!! That the suites are large and extremly comfortable!!!
Not to forget the breathtaking trip with Conor in the ADDO.
We wish you all the best and assure that, whenever we travel again to SA, we will stop again in your beautiful home!
Please don't forget to caress Zacharias from us

Thank you for the wonderful and great time at the colonial and for your lovely hospitality. It was so relaxed to be there, we enjoyed it so much.
Thank you for the cordial discussions and last but not least, the delicious food! The trip to Swellendam was ok, also the 2 days we stayed there, but we both thinking, that our time in Addo was the highlight of our week ... and of our trip to South Africa!

We already miss The Colonial, the setting, the spacious room and bathroom, just relaxing and taking things easy, the walks with Zack.What a lovely carefree dog he is. The food, fantastic breakfasts and evening meals, so much thought and care that went into their preparation, thank you Molly. Many thanks to Conor for his wine choices, they were excellent,and his historic tales, knowledge and enthusiastic manner on our game drive to Addo, we saw so many different animals, we loved it so much. What a amazing place, the setting, the colonial house, run by a amazing and kind couple. Those few days with you were unforgettable. We hope to come back again one day, but until then take care and enjoy your well earned holiday.

Thank you so much for a great time at Addo, it sticks out as one of the big highlights of the the fortnight. We got some wonderful photos from both of the game drives (thank goodness considering all the fuss made over the new camera) and also some lovely ones of the farm and the house - I have attached a pic of Zack for you which Richard took. Both you and Connor provided such fantastic hospitality, which made for a wonderful stay. We're still debating what our top 3 meals of the holiday were and must let you know, your meal is always in the running - pretty good considering we had 2 nights in Franschoek - the supposed "culinary centre of SA"!

Niki Featherstone - March 2011

Thank you for a wonderful stay at the Colonial. It was so relaxing and your hospitality made it a truly wonderful vacation for our two families. The boys also absolutely loved it. I think my favorite line from them was when we'd been in Addo for 3-4 hours and were finally in the Southern section with elephants on both sides of the road - and from the back seat we hear, "Mom, we've seen enough elephants. We need to go home and play with Zack. Zack misses us!". They really loved the lawn and the dog that came with it. Many thanks!
We deeply value the relaxing time we were able to have at the Colonial. From the accommodations to the amazing dinner and generous breakfasts to your hospitality, it truly was a memorable stay. Should we visit the Addo area again we will definitely plan on booking with you and will recommend you to friends as well.

Elizabeth and Darik Velez - March 2011

Enjoyed a 3 night package with Molly and Connor (B&B, Evening Meals and game drives). The accomodation was superb, the hospitality and food unsurpassed. We had our own little pool which was great in the hot weather and the game drives we had were special what more can I say ... I'd love to stay again and if we return to SA, we will have to find a way of arranging it.

Fran and Malcolm Blackburn - February 2011

We hoped that our stay close to Addo would be the highlight of our holiday and we have not been disappointed! When we have asked our children once back home what have been their favourite moments, both of you have reached a 100% satisfaction rating among them (Conor for the quality of the game drive and Molly for her kindness and, I must admit, also for having Zach).
The quality of your accommodation has only been rivalled by Molly’s extraordinary cooking talent...
Therefore, the weather has never been a real issue.
Be sure that we will spread the word around us about the great time we had with you and become Colonial’s ambassadors in Cape Town!

Leymarie Family - January 2011

Just a short note to thank you for your telephone call this morning. It was much appreciated. You and your husband must be perfect hosts as I have just received an SMS from Harry Braat and he wrote to say that their stay was perfect in every way! The dinner was perfect, the stories of Conor were very interesting and the rooms wonderful. Thanks again and greetings to all.

We will never be able to thank you for all your extraordinary support and kindness during our stay with you. We could not have landed in a better place in challenging times with the volcanic ash disruption.

Thank you for a lovely stay. Everything was perfect and we agreed that it was like staying with family rather than in a normal b and b. Your willingness to help and your attention to detail were fantastic.

Thank you for your warm welcome, Molly’s excellent cuisine and our first safari in the Addo Elephant Park with our knowledgeable guide, which we are not likely to forget.

Thanks for a wonderful stay at your house. We felt very welcome, the food was excellent, the company very pleasant and the game drives more than we could have expected.

We loved our stay at The Colonial, meeting you and Conor and Zack, your delicious food and all the spoiling. It was such a treat not having to cook!
