“Best accommodation in Hogsback”
The accommodation was modern and very clean. Staff were fantastic and oh so helpful. Was in a accommodation in Hogsback the previous night and was not impressed. Arminel was far better and even cheaper. Wish I knew that before I booked the other accommodation. Will definitely come back.

“Pleasant stay”
I liked the cottages. They felt very homey. The beds were comfortable and we had access to extra blankets. I also enjoyed the fact that the kitchen was well equipped with everything you could need.

The spacious cabins in the manicured gardens are lovely with enough privacy. Seeing Cape Parrots from the front door is magical.
