In life, one often would find the most beautiful gems in the most unexpected places. Nestled in the hills of paradise, shrouded in mystique and secluded in its luxury, lies one such gem. Panoramic scenery, botanical wonder and old school charm; it all comes together at the ArendsRus estate. Luxury accommodation, scenic wedding venue and divine restaurant, ArendsRus is indeed one of those very rare gems that surprise and astonish.

This was our second visit to ArendsRus Country Lodge. We come from Gordons bay and like driving to George area. Very welcoming and accommodating staff. Food is very good and facilities are awesome. Love your braai package and swim in the heated pool

All I can say is it was awesome staying at ArendsRus Country Lodge. From the friendliest service making you feel welcome with inception to departure. The cabins are need clean and have everything a person need for a stay away from home. The decor is a perfect fit. I will definitely stay at ArendsRus Country Lodge again

Arendsrus exceeded all my expectations as regards accommodation, atmosphere, food and service. Lovely setting in the mountains. Safe and peaceful. Reinhard and Charné deserve special mention for their professionalism and warm hospitality. I will be back. Soon.

Overnighted here and loved it. My balcony had a beautiful view over trees and the surrounding farmlands. Room was very pretty, and super clean. Staff very kind and friendly. My little doggie was welcome. Extremely reasonable price included a huge breakfast, and I could choose to have it delivered to my room. Just booked my overnight for my return journey. Thanks all at Arendsrus.

From making the booking, I was in contact with the management of Arendsrus. I just had a feeling that this establishment was different as they have and give you the personal touch of holidaying. The quietness and beautiful surroundings are next level with stunning views of George below. This establishment has all the necessary spoils for city seekers who need a break from the rat race. The peace and quiet is amazing as you hear the birds chirping, the cows mooing in the distant and the odd little monkey 🐒 popping in to say hi... Definitely worthy of a return visit/stay😏👍😍

We thoroughly enjoyed the stay at Arendsrus in George. It's a beautiful place and very scenic. Worth every cent and more! Slept over in a bunch of places in my lifetime and never before thought afterwards "this was a steal" to stay here and have breakfast included etc.... This type of quality in a venue has cost me way more per night... or you get way less for the same amount. Thanks again Arendsrus!
