This was our 3rd visit to The Colonial on Arundel and each time we arrive to find something new (or old) has been added to enhance the experience. This is a lovely colonial home set in a beautiful garden amongst the citrus orchards. Each spacious room is beautifully furnished and has its own lounge and en-suite bathroom so big one... More

I have been to the Colonial at Arundel twice now, both times with family from the United States. As a group of 4 adults and 3 children under age 5, we loved that in this intimate location of only 2 rooms, we adults were able to enjoy our stay while the children could be children as there were no other...

We've been in South Africa now for 3 weeks staying at B&Bs and guesthouses. The rooms here are excellent, very large, well laid out and comfortable. We had one dinner here which was really outstanding and very reasonably priced, which was due to Molly's cooking skills that also showed in the great breakfasts. On our game drive to Addo with...

The Colonial At Arundel – It was the best B&B we have experienced in our many trips to South Africa.. We had a lovely time – the Drive in Addo NP with Connor was amazing – he is so knowledgeable! We loved the elephants and it was a bonus being able to see lion (even though they were a long... More

If you want to be looked after in comfort, you won't be disappointed at the Colonial. You will be treated much more as "a paying guest" with Conor to take you on a guided tour of Addo. While I understand that it may be necessary to put notices up about "dos and don'ts", it just detracts slightly from the excellence... More

From the moment we arrived at the Colonial for a 4 night stay with friends we relaxed. Our suite was luxurious with private pool, and we were extremely well looked after and fed like fighting cocks. Molly's cooking is to die for, likewise Conor's charm, friendliness and knowledge of game. We had one of the best, if not the best,... More

We stayed there for 3 Nights at the end of February, it was a perfect start for our holidays there. Molly and Connor are great hosts, the dinner excellence and all the sourroundings they are giving to you are just perfect. And alo not to forget the Hous-Dog Zack, which is amazing. Everytime again!! Thank you Molly and Connor again... More

Molly and Conor are welcoming, wonderful hosts. We loved the guest lodge which was extremely comfortable. The dinner we had and the breakfast were superb. We had a marvellous time on our game drive with Conor who is extremely knowledgeable. We heartily recommend this B&B. We hope we visit again.

After our first visit we knew that we would have to go again. The setting is superb in beautiful surroundings and so relaxing. Molly and Conor are excellent hosts and most welcoming. Accommodation and Molly's cooking are first class. Addo elephant drive with Conor is great for he has so much knowledge about the animals I am sure he knows... More

I've never felt so welcomed. First by Zach the labrador, then by a maid who showed us our suite and brought us tea and mince pies, and finally by Conor and Molly themselves. The house is exactly as depicted in the photographs - a beautiful, rambling farmhouse set in lush gardens and surrounded by citrus groves. We had the Fitzpatrick... More
