Loved the atmosphere and how lovely and helpful all the staff were.
The skylight in our room didnt not allow us to sleep past 5:30am becuase it points at sunrise (lovely idea but not for sensitive sleepers) and there is no alternative plan for this. Maybe a curtain of sorted would work but other than that. Loved the place will come again just I will book self catering side or glamping.

The lodge had a strong mould smell throughout, especially in the main bedroom and bathroom. Overnight, we experienced tight chests, itchy eyes and persistent coughing, and my wife had to take medication to relieve her symptoms. As we were travelling with our two young children, one of whom has asthma, we did not feel it was safe to stay.
We requested either suitable alternative accommodation or a refund, but neither was provided, so we had to arrange and pay for accommodation elsewhere. See photo evidence of the mould. Very disappointing experience and poor handling of a serious issue.

It's worth noting that part of the road leading there is unpaved. The sound insulation is not the best, so some noise from neighboring rooms may be noticeable.

Reviewed Jan 19, 2026From One-Horse Town to Heavenly Hideaway: Arendse Rus
Coming from a one-horse town (and the horse passed on years ago), I was craving peace, quiet, and a lot of beauty.
The bubble bath was exactly what I needed to soak away the road and slip into the best night’s sleep I’ve had in ages.
I ventured into town and promptly transformed into a wide-eyed tourist. I must’ve looked like a complete lunatic marveling at roadside landscaping and floral arrangements, I half expect to end up on someone’s Instagram story titled “Excited Stranger Discovers Shrubs.”
Back at Arendse Rus, I went on a photo spree. The jasmine was in bloom, and I kid you not, I could smell it all night long, it was like nature’s own aromatherapy.
If you're searching for a serene, nature-filled escape that’s close enough to town for a bit of adventure, but far enough to hear yourself think, Arendse Rus is the place. Tranquility, charm, and just the right touch of magic.
