Arniston is a small seaside town in the Overberg region on the Cape South coast, close to Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip of Africa. After a relaxing weekend in Arniston, you could return with more than you bargained for. Arniston is one of those special little places that make you want to buy a cottage there.
It is full of nothing much; no post office, no petrol station, no shops, no through traffic and dare one say, no crime! Well there may be a little opportunistic pinching of bicycles, but if the culprit is from the local community, he is soon caught. The Arniston Hotel is the largest building in the village, with its full width facing the east, directly towards the sea.
From this saturated horizon the sun emerges each morning, dripping golden rays onto the water. From the large comfortable hotel bed, you can open your eyes seawards for sunrise. The Arniston Hotel has thirty rooms including six luxury suites, all of which sport delightful fresh springtime decor.
