Ons het verskriklik lekker gekuier en heerlik ontspan. Sal Arundel vir enigeen aanbeveel.

Die omgewing is rustig. Uitsig pragtig. Dit is ver genoeg en terselfdertyd naby genoeg aan Clarens.

Sasha U

Die mooiste plek in SA met asemrowende uitsig.

Ons het ons kuiertjie by Arundel Studios vreeslik geniet. Dis so mooi met die mooiste uitsig.

Thinus M
With spouse/partner

Dit was 'n wonderlike ervaring!

Die plek is baie skoon en vreeslik mooi uiteengesit. Die eienaar het ons baie vriendelik ontvang en toe hulle gehoor het dat ons pas getroud is, het hulle ons bederf met 'n bottel sjampanje! Hulle het ons ook verskeie gratis dienste aangebied. Oor die algemeen was dit 'n wonderlike ervaring gewees. Ons sal nooit weer op 'n ander plek bly as ons in Clarens kuier nie.

Mooiste uitsig.

Uitstekende verblyf alles was skoon en netjies. Al die nodige is beskikbaar in die studios met die mooiste uitsig. Sal net aanraai om meer privaatheid te verskaf tussen die 2 eenhede se braai-/stoep-area.

Anneke V
With spouse/partner

Heerlik, knus en ontspanne atmosfeer.

Arundel Studios het alles wat nodig is. Die kaggel is 'n wenner, veral as dit koel is. Die uitkyk is asmerowend mooi en dra by tot die rustige atmosfeer. Dit is 'n vakansie wat ons nooit sal vergeet nie.

We had a wonderful relaxing weekend at Arundel!

We forgot some of our clothes there and we stay in Pretoria, but management went out of their way to make a plan to bring our stuff to Pretoria (which the cleaning lady had washed which was so nice)! Thank you so much for the awesome service and wonderful weekend!

Wow, wat 'n onvergeetlike wegbreek.

Dankie Arundel Studios vir 'n onvergeetlike wegbreek. Die eenheid was silwerskoon en toegerus met alles waaraan ons kon dink en meer. Baie moeite is in die plekkie gesit en dit is sigbaar. Die uitsig was pragtig. Baie dankie, ons het ons wegbreek by julle geniet en sal beslis wees by julle verblyf bespreek.

What a lovely place! We really enjoyed our stay at Arundel Studios! The fireplace is all you need during the winter months, the stars are breathtaking and the view of the mountains are incredible! We will definitely come back one day!

Alberto N
With spouse/partner

Was great!

Jy gaan grondpad ry, so jou kar gaan vuil word - maar die stilte is dit werd! Die kaggel in die winter is 'n wenner - maar jy gaan moet settle vir 'n warm stort, eerder as 'n bad. Enigste negatief is dat Clarens so klein is soos die foto's beduie en dit beteken dat as die ouens jou waarsku dat jy moet inkopies doen in Bethlehem, dan joke hulle nie - net die bare basics beskikbaar in Clarens - wat beteken jou braai gaan teleurstel tensy jy vleis saam bring. Arundel sal my vir seker weer sien - lekker gerus!

Gavin's Response

Thank you for your review Alberto. Would love to have you at Arundel again sometime soon.

Uiters goed toegerus, met 'n baie mooi uitsig, weg van enige lawaai.

Ons het heerlik gebly. Plekkie is baie goed toegerus. Die kaggel was onmisbaar. Daar is 'n groot stoof en oond, ruim slaapkamer met leefarea. Mens lê in die bed en kyk hoe die son opkom. Daar is ook 'n heerlike stoepie en baie privaatheid.

Wish I could give 6 stars.

Absolutely fantastic place just outside Clarens. To see the sun rise every morning over the Maluti while you are in front of your fireplace was incredible. We will be back as soon as possible.

Wens ek kon 6 sterre gee!

Absoluut fantastiese plekkie net buite Clarens. Om elke oggend die son te sien opkom oor die Maluti terwyl jy voor jou kaggel is was ongelooflik Ons sal so gou moontlik terug wees.

Netjies, skoon, vriendelik, alles wat nodig is in 'n baie mooi omgewing met lekker staproetes en baie fotogeleenthede.

Alles wat jy mag nodig kry in die studio beskikbaar - ingesluit steak messe. Elke dag ten minste een van die staproetes gestap en baie tyd op die roetes spandeer om foto's te neem. Die piekniekplek teen die rivier is baie mooi. Sal vir seker weer hier bly as ons in die omgewing is.

Asemrowende uitsig.

Arundel Studios is pragtig en gemaklik toegerus met 'n fantastiese uitsig. Dit was baie maklik om die plek te kry en baie naby aan Clarens, maar werklik ver genoeg uit die dorp vir 'n rustige en ontspannende paar dae.

Erik B
With spouse/partner

Very good.

I would highly recommend Arundel Studios.

Tanya V
With spouse/partner

Stunning!

We were really impressed with the place. We will only make two suggestions to the owner; swimming facilities and steak knives. Furthermore, it was an experience to see the scenery around us! We will definitely stay here again!

Stunning!

Ons was regtig baie beïndruk met die plekkie. Ons sal net twee voorstelle wil maak aan die eienaar; swemgeriewe en steak messe. Verder was dit 'n belewenis om die natuurskoon rondom ons te kon sien! Ons sal beslis weer hier kom bly!

Fantastic accommodation. Quiet and beautiful scenery. Away from everyone but still close to Clarens. A fan would've been great.

Verblyf uitstekend en weg van die gewoel.

Fantastiese verblyf. Stil en baie mooi natuurskoon. Weg van almal af maar tog naby Clarence. 'n Waaier sou welkom wees.

A cosy beauty with the most amazing views.

The unit was easy to find in a beautiful location and had every single that made it feel like home, especially filter coffee. It was by far the most comprehensively catered accommodation I have ever stayed in. The owner has gone the extra mile to make it beautiful, comfortable and convenient. We were extremely wowed and impressed. The views from the unit makes it feel like a dream.

Reinhardt S
With spouse/partner

Very quiet, beautiful view, ideal for short breaks.

The silence and the view are overwhelming. Great to just sit on the veranda with coffee and rusks while the sun is making its appearance. Will visit again.

Baie stil, pragtige uitsig, ideaal vir kort wegbreek.

Die stilte en die uitsig is oorweldigend. Heerlik om net op die stoep te sit met koffie en beskuit terwyl die son sy groot verskyning maak. Sal weer 'n draai kom maak.

Ongelooflike uitsig en baie netjiese studio.

Studio is baie netjies en keurig, alles wat nodig is, is daar, behalwe miskien 'n TV, maar ek neem aan dis die idee om die rustigheid van die natuur te ervaar. En dan natuurlik die fantastiese uitsig. 'n Bietjie persoonlike aandag sou nice gewees het. Maar oor die algemeen 'n baie lekker ervaring.

Babsie G

Lovely accommodation with a beautiful view.

Studio is comfortable, tidy and equipped with everything you need. The studio also has a beautiful view of the mountains from the balcony.

Pragtige uitsig, oulike studio maar kort 'n paar verbeterings om verblyf gerieflik te maak.

Die pad bly 'n faktor hier. Arundel is bereikbaar met 'n motor maar mens moet die paar kilometer kruip. Warm water was nie warm genoeg met temperatuur van minus 2 grade. Dames kort 'n muurprop binne bereik van 'n spieël. Lastige vloerlys by badkamerdeur nie maats met my tone. Baie mooi uitsig en omgewing. Rustig. Lekker braaiplek op stoep en kaggel binne. Genoeg hout is voorsien wat heerlik brand. Kan pragtige plek wees met klein veranderinge.

Breathtaking view, friendly staff and owner, beautiful private hiking trails. Just what we needed!

The management and owner are very friendly. The rooms are private (We stayed in studio 2), the gravel roads are not as bad as some make it out to be, we drove slowly with my VW Polo with no problems (Speed up slightly on your way up to the studios for some momentum).

Dit was heerlik en voedsel vir die siel!

Dit is 'n lieflike plekkie om te bly. Miskien kan hulle kyk na afdakkie by die stoep vir wanneer dit reën, sodat mens nogsteeds kan braai of dalk net die stoep glasdeure kan oopmaak sonder dat dit in reën. Ons sal beslis weer daar gaan bly. Pragtige uitsig en goed toegerus. Baie dankie vir weereens vir heerlike sielerus.

Pragtige verblyf!

Ons was aangenaam verras dat die eenheid selfs nog mooier as op die foto's was, met 'n lieflike uitsig oor die berge. Heerlik stil en rustig - ver van 'n pad of geraas van verkeer! Ons was gelukkig dat niemand in die eenheid langsaan was terwyl ons daar was nie. Ons enigste onsekerheid vir 'n volgende bespreking is dat ons nie besef het toe ons bespreek het, dat die twee studios aanmekaar vas is nie. Ons is dus nie seker hoe stil en rustig dit nog steeds sal wees as daar mense langsaan is wat raserig is nie. Die enigste ander minale steuring was ...

Die enigste ander minale steuring was dat die huis langs studio 1 'n Jacuzzi het wat die bure soms in die aande aangesit het, en dan vir 'n rukkie 'n bietjie van 'n dreun-klank veroorsaak het, tesame met hulle gesels buite hulle huis. Dit was egter regtig 'n kleinigheid en het nie lank aangehou nie. Sal dit beslis aanbeveel en weer gaan! Ons sal probeer om weer in die week te gaan wanneer die eenheid langsaan hopelik weer sal oop wees.

Perfect place to relax!

Our stay at Arundel was just what us city sleeker needed. The area is tranquil, the views are amazing and the accommodation has everything you need. The WiFi was an unexpected bonus, when the weather turned on us on the Saturday we just curled up in front of the fireplace and watched movies. Arundel will definitely see us again.

Perfekte rusplek!

Ons verblyf by Arundel was net wat twee stadsjapies nodig gehad het. Die omgewing is rustig, die uitsigte ongelooflik en die blyplekkie toegerus met als wat mens kan benodig. Die WiFi was beslis 'n onverwagte bonus, en ons kon die Saterdag toe die weer sleg was lekker opkrul en fliek kyk met die kaggel wat brand. Arundel sal ons vir seker weer sien.

Value for money accommodation.

We stayed in Studio 2 for 2 nights. The procedure to pick up and drop off the key in Clarens went without hassle. Accommodation was clean with everything one could need. The gravel road wasn't a problem either as described in other reviews. Quiet, lovely view and close enough to Clarens if you want some more action. Would definitely stay here again.

Waarde vir geld akkommodasie.

Ons het vir twee aande in Studio 2 gebly. Die prosedure om die sleutel op te tel (en af te laai) in Clarens, was pynloos. Akkommodasie was skoon met als wat jy kan nodig kry. Die grondpad was ook nie 'n probleem soos deur ander resensies beskryf nie. Stil, wonderlike uitsig en naby genoeg aan Clarens as jy dalk bietjie meer aksie wou hê. Sal die verblyf definitief aanbeveel.

Jy kort 'n 4x4.

Die plek is mooi binne en netjies afgerond. Die grondpad was egter rof al het ons 4x4 gery. Daar word geen melk of blits voorsien nie asook met aankoms het ons sleutel ontvang en in die ander paar se studio op geëindig en moes verder reëlings tref sodat ons die studio kon bereik. Die parkering was ook moeilik weens die paar langsaan wat nie korrek parkeer het nie, ons het gesukkel om ons 4x4 uit te kry. Geen parkering word aangedui nie. Het al beter in Clarens gebly vir minder.

Being motorcycle enthusiasts and with Clarens being a favourite motorcyclists’ haven we decided to arrange a short road trip with some friends. When we saw Arundel Studios – and its many good reviews, we decided this was the place for us. The views from the patio are spectacular and watching the sun rise and set was truly magnificent. The accommodation is well-appointed and cosy and comfortable and the kitchen is well-equipped. Unfortunately there were a number of downsides to the accommodation. The road to the studios requires at least an SUV as it is a very rough dirt road – even a normal motorcar would struggle. This was not communicated on any of the sites advertising Arundel, and with Clarens being a road motorcyclist’s haven we would have thought this would be an important consideration to have highlighted. This would have been a major factor in us choosing our accommodation as we were riding Harley Davidsons. There is no lighting along this road which made going into Clarens for dinner impossible on our motorcycles. Then, to our dismay, we discovered late on the Saturday afternoon that there had been no housekeeping service at the studios so we came home to unmade beds, and unwashed dishes – luckily we were with friends and we had enough crockery between the two Studios. We have stayed in any number of B&B’s, guesthouses and self-catering accommodation and there has always been a housekeeping service – this too needs to be communicated as this would have determined whether we would have booked the accommodation or not. The key collection and drop-off system needs to be reviewed as it is neither easy nor convenient for guests. We had to meet Dolores on the road going to the Bethel Estate and then had to drop off the keys in town on Sunday morning. It would have been easier to leave the keys in a post box at the studios. Whilst we had a very good weekend it was very stressful to negotiate the road into and out of Arundel Studios and could have ended in a worse disaster. 2 of the bikers did go down on the rocky gravel section – luckily a few grazes and some scratched paintwork was the only damage.

Gavin's Response

Thank you for your feedback.

Just a few responses:

Perfect place for a honeymoon.

Place is very neat and the location is incredible. You can see for miles and you feel so free there. It is the perfect place.

Perfekte wittebrood plek.

Plek is baie netjies en die ligging is ongelooflik. Mens kan wyd sien en voel so vry daar. Dis 'n perfekte plekkie.

Fantastic.

The accommodation was very clean with everything that you will need. We had a fantastic view on the mountains and were able to have a picnic by the river.

Fantasties.

Die instansie was silwerskoon met alles wat 'n mens sal benodig as jy weggaan. Ons het 'n fantastiese uitsig op die berge gehad en kon lekker picnic hou onder by die rivier.

Breathtaking!

Wow, what a wonderful place to just relax and lose yourself in the beautiful view and the quiet. I recommend it to anyone. It is very neat and the studio is beautiful and equipped with absolutely everything you need. Will definitely be back.

Asemrowend!

Wow, wat 'n great plek net om te gaan rus en die stilte en mooi uitsig te gaan geniet. Ek beveel dit aan vir enige iemand. Dis baie netjies en die studio is pragtig met absoluut alles wat jy benodig. Sal verseker teruggaan soontoe.

Fantastic!

Don't even think twice about booking Arundel Studios! Best weekend ever in Clarens! I will recommend this place to anyone. The quiet, beautiful mountains, and the sun on the patio. We will definitely be back!

Fantasties!

Moenie eers tweekeer dink om een van die Arundel Studios te bespreek nie. Doen dit! Dit was beslis nog die lekkerste naweek in Clarens! Ek sal Arundel Studios vir enigiemand aanbeveel. Die stilte, pragtige berge en die son wat op jou stoep opkom. Ons sal definitief weer terugkom!

Good experience.

Nice and neat, good décor and a beautiful location. Would just have liked blitz with the wood, otherwise no complaints. Will go again.

Goeie ervaring.

Mooi netjies, goeie decor en beeldskone ligging. Sou net graag blits saam met hout wou hê, andersins geen klagtes. Sal weer gaan.

Nice getaway.

I definitely recommend Arundel Studios. Just one thing - I saw a tip jar for the cleaner and gardener. I assumed the place would be cleaned daily because of the tip jar? No one cleaned the place. Would be nice to have daily cleaning service as an option, even if you have to fork out some extra cash.

Lekker wegbreek.

Ek sal definitief Arundel Studios aanbeveel. As daar een ding is wat ek kan uitlig, ek het gesien daar is 'n tipjar vir die cleaner en gardener. Ons het aangeneem die plekkie gaan skoongemaak word daagliks agv die tipjar. Niemand het die eenheid kom skoonmaak nie. Dit sal lekker wees om die opsie te hê dat iemand die plekkie kom skoonmaak, selfs al betaal mens 'n paar rand ekstra.

Very romantic and the view is AMAZING.

I found the bed's mattress was a bit worn out. The springs stuck into our backs and so we didn't sleep very well. The electric blanket didn't work and we didn't have enough blankets. I will, however, definitely return to this place as I would love to see it in summer. The fireplace in the room is wonderful. If you are looking for couples getaway with a romantic atmosphere, then Arundel Studios is the place for you.

Baie romanties en die uitsig is AMAZING.

Ek het gevind die bed se matras is nie meer so lekker nie, die "springs" het in ons rug gesteek en het gemaak dat ons nie so lekker kon slaap nie. Die warm kombers het nie gewerk nie, en het nie genoeg komberse gehad nie. Maar ek sal vir seker teruggaan na die plekkie toe, wil graag in die somer 'n draai daar gaan maak. Die vuurmaakplekkie in die kamer is wonderlik. As jy 'n romantiese atmosfeer wil skep is Arundel Studios vir seker die plek.

Lekker knus. Skoon en vriendelike diens.

Pragtige plekkie in die berge. Baie skoon en goed toegerus.

Reynette V

Die beste uitsig ooit.

Die studio is baie netjies en skoon en baie goed ingerig vir gemak vir twee persone. Ons het die pragtige uitsig baie geniet en die hout wat voorsien was vir die kaggel het handig te pas gekom om 'n heerlike vuurtjie te maak om die koue weg te dryf. Dis baie romanties met die kerse oral in die studio en ons sal dit ten sterkste aanbeveel vir mense wat van die natuur hou en dit kan waardeer. Die speletjies en leesstof wat tot besoekers se beskikking is, was ideaal om mens besig te hou. Ons beplan reeds aan ons volgende besoek!

Llewellyn K

Asemrowend mooi!

Arundel is 'n ongelooflike mooi plek, sal graag wil teruggaan in die winter.

Gerrit B

Asembenemend!

Hier kan jy jou verkyk aan die mooiheid. Beslis een van die mooiste paar dae in 2015 hier spandeer. Pragtige natuurskoon en die eenhede (veral eenheid 2) is eenvoudig, smaakvol en prakties. Vir herhaling vatbaar.

Alles wat mens nodig het.

'n Eenheid met alles wat mens nodig het in 'n rustige omgewing met 'n baie mooi uitsig.

Marianna V
With spouse/partner

Pragtig.

Pragtige skoon Studios. Pragtige natuurskoon, pragtige naghemel. Heerlike stort en bed. Dis jammer dat skoonmaakdienste nie outomaties ingesluit word nie. Daar is ook geen diefwering of stewige deurslotte nie, so dis bietjie negatief.

Marike V
With spouse/partner

Perfekte blyplek!

Een van ons heel gunsteling blyplekke! Dis perfek toegerus, met ekstra moeite soos filter koffie (baie lekker) en al is dit baie naby aan Clarens, voel dit asof mens in 'n ander land is. Ons sal keer op keer teruggaan, mooiste berguitsig en fantastiese geriewe.

Charlene L
With spouse/partner

Perfekte naweekwegbreek.

Wat 'n wonderlike plek om rustig te raak en die natuur te geniet! Sal dit by enigiemand aanbeveel!

Daar is net een woord vir so lekker plekkie! ASEMROWEND!

Die huisie was verby oulik net as jy wil hê om weg te breek en die kaggel in die winter sit net die tjerrie op die koek. Ons het sowaar baie lekker gebly en ek sal enige tyd weer terug gaan.

Cobus V
With spouse/partner

Baie aangenaam!

Die eenheid was skoon en netjies met 'n snoesige kaggel wat jou dadelik in 'n vakasieluim plaas.

Amazing! Stunning uitsig, rustigheid van die natuur, maar naby genoeg aan die dorp vir lekker uitstappie.

Sal vir seker my man bring vir lekker romantiese wegbreek!

'n Heerlike winter wegbreek-naweek vir twee! Knus voor die kaggel met 'n lekker boek en 'n glasie rooiwyn.

Baie oulike, netjiese kamer. Besondere aandag is aan die details gegee in die kombuisie, slaapkamertjie en badkamer. Doodse stilte (afgesien van een aand se lawaai in 'n naby geleë huis). Pragtige natuurskoon. Sal definitief Arundel Studios weer besoek!

Verblyf was heerlik en eenheid was baie netjies. Pragtige ligging.

Ons het vir drie aande ('n langer naweek) in Februarie 2015 by Arundel oorgebly.

Ons het bedags die omgewing verken en was hoofsaaklik snags by die studio. Daar is twee, klein studio's teen mekaar. Arundel is lieflik geleë! Dis stil en rustig met die plaaslike naweek-inwoners wat met hulle honde in die veld stap. Ons het die mooiste volmaan tussen die koppe sien opkom, die helder sterre geniet en die sonsopkoms vanuit die bed lê en waardeer! Ons het in die omgewing gery, gestap en voëls gekyk. Die studio is baie goed toegerus al is daar effens min pakplek vir kruideniersware. Onthou asseblief dat alle oppervlakke baie glad ...

Die studio is baie goed toegerus al is daar effens min pakplek vir kruideniersware. Onthou asseblief dat alle oppervlakke baie glad is! Onthou ook om iets warms vir die aand te neem: die aande kan selfs in die somer nogal koel raak. Die studio is warm. Dit het 'n plat, sementdak wat baie warm bak gedurende die dag. Dis heerlik om saans buite te sit en braai. Die bure in die studio langsaan is egter merkbaar naby en ons maak inbreek op mekaar se privaatheid. Mens deel bv. dieselfde skoorsteen en die stoep lig verlig sommer albei plekkies. Dis jammer dat die plekkie nie op enige stadium tydens die naweek skoongemaak is nie. Die asblik wat die twee studio's deel, het onsmaaklik vol geword. Daar is nie voorsiening om self die braaiplekke skoon te maak nie en die braaiplekke moes eintlik ook skoongemaak gewees het. Die bestuurder, Gavin, het geen navraag gedoen i.v.m. met ons verblyf nie. Toe die 'bure' weg is, het ons selfs nog lekkerder gebly! Ons kan Arundel sterk aanbeveel!

Min privaatheid as daar bure weerskante van jou is. Sal nie aanbeveel vir paartjies wat stilte soek nie. Wonderlike uitsig. Goeie uitleg van akkommodasie.

Baie lekker gebly.

Ons het baie lekker by Arundel Studios gebly. Die grondpad om daar te kom is in goeie kondisie en baie kort. Daar is slegs 'n stort in die eenheid maar die buitebad was groot pret vir ons dogtertjie. Die skaduwee areas is min vir 'n kleinding om in te speel, maar voor die hoofhuis het sy lekker rondgehardloop. Die eenheid word slegs elke tweede dag skoongemaak. Dit het egter goed ingepas by ons vakansie. Die braaihout wat voorsien is was van die beste en droogste waarmee ek in 'n lang tyd gebraai het. Die uitsig is fantasties en die piekniekplek ...

Mooi, gerieflik toegerus, skoon, privaat en toeganklik.

Dit is 'n lekker wegbreekplek vir stilte en tog naby vir inkopies en eet.

Roelf V

'n Pragtige uitsig oor die vlaktes en berge.

Het lekker gebly in die eenheid en sal weer daarheen terugkeer. In ag genome dat die eenheid vir twee persone voorsiening maak, is pakplek en hangplek beperk in beide die badkamer en wooneenheid. Die kaggel is 'n wonderlike "feature" in so 'n koue area. Ons het tydens die gebruik van die gasstoof vermoed dat daar 'n lekplek by die gasbottel in die kas is (gasreuk). Ons het dit dus so min moontlik gebruik, en die bottel andersins toegedraai gehou. Andersins was dit 'n heerlike naweek in 'n uitsonderlike mooi ligging.
