Delightfull Peacefull Stay

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 27 May 2021
We stayed over at The Dunes and received a warm welcome by the friendly reception staff. We were shown the dining area as well as the pool area as i wanted to know where to swim. We stayed over in the standard rooms, please note these don't have a kitchenette, however the rooms has a wash up basin. However the rooms are spacious and clean and comfortable. The nights we stayed over was a bit cold and the rooms had no air-conditioner or heaters, maybe they can include these on the cold nights. The breakfast was excellent and the dinners was impressively delightful. Many thanks to Mercia and Mary for making us feel extra welcome.
Date of stay: April 2021
Room Tip: Instead of the standard room opt for a luxury room
Trip type: Travelled on business

    We stayed at The Dunes from 12-14 March 2021 & found it very pleasant . The Hotel is about 2km from the main town & beaches. Stayed in a luxury room which had a lounge area with a fridge & tv which had most of the DSTV channels. Very nice big bathroom with a sizeable shower. Stayed in room 79 which was on the 1st floor & had some views over the fynbos . The service throughout was excellent , from the welcome at reception to the dining area. We had breakfast , lunch & dinner . Breakfast is included . The food was very good and the portions very generous at reasonable prices. Dining area overlooks a very big pool & grass area. There is a steam room & gym. The gym equipment needs attention & replacing hence the 4 rating as we enjoy our gym.

    The Waenhuis Cliff & beach area also only 2km away , a few nice trails & sand dunes to climb. There is a cave which can only be reached at low tide , definately worth the trip. Wear some shoes /slops that may get wet but great views & photo opportunities. The rock formations are spectacular.

    Struisbaai & Cape Agulhas - southern most tip of Africa within an hour's drive , Bredasdorp & Napier even closer .

    The Dunes is a nice base to operate from , quiet , good value

    We found staff very friendly and helpful, but the family 2 bedroom apartment we stayed in needs attention, no aircon, no fan, we found kitchen shabby and old and utensils in drawer were not clean. Rooms desperately need a revamp. But we found location good and close to Arniston.

    Hosted/attended a conference here. The conference facilities were very outdated with poor audio and visual equipment. WIFI connectivity was at it's weakest inside the conference venue were it is most needed.
