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

From the moment we arrived at the Colonial on Arundel we felt at home. Molly and Conor were outstanding hosts who offered us extended hospitality during our stay. They offered advice, took care of reservations and helped us plan our game drives (through the park on an organised sunset tour and self drive). They really went out of Thier way... More

We have just spent two nights at this delightful guesthouse. I agree with all the positive comments made previously. The property is situated on a citrus farm and as soon as you arrive you have a feeling of peace and relaxation. Molly and Connor are very warm, hospitable and interesting to talk to. We thoroughly enjoyed Connor's game drive, greatly... More

We stayed at the Colonial for 3 nights in December and we could not have made a better choice than staying at the Colonial. The rooms are big, clean, well equiped and we also had our living room and patio. We loved our stay. Molly and Connor are great hosts and Zach was always of great company. They were always... More

I stayed at The Colonial for a couple of days in December and it was really great. Molly, Connor and Zach (the dog) are fantastic hosts and always very helpfully. The directions and suggestions offered by Molly where always spot on. We stayed on a package that included also 2 game drives, one with Connor himself and one through a... More

We recently spent 3 days here and took their special package which turned out to be a great way to experience the local sites. The accommodation was exceptional. Molly and Connor were wonderful hosts and nothing was too much trouble, we were treated like long lost friends. The meals were of high class and very nicely presented with small touches... More

We arrived at The Colonial at Arundel and the mansion looked similar to " once I had a house in Africa" the mansion of Karen Blixen from the movie Out of Africa. We experienced the warmest of welcomes from the couple that run the place, Molly and Conor 'O Hagan Ward. The rooms or should I say suites are large... More

Having had The Colonial recommended to us by a friend, we had the great pleasure of spending three nights at The Colonial on the Bush and Bundu Special at the end of August 2011. The owners, Molly and Conor O'Hagen Ward, were warm and hospitable and their years of experience in the hospitality industry shine through in the sheer professionalism... More

Fantastic service and the food is excellent. The rooms are lovely and a lot of thought has gone into choosing the decor. The B&B is situated in the heart of citrus plantations so when the orange trees are in blossem you have this amazing citrus smell. Great stuff. The hosts Molly & Connor are wonderful people and really make you... More
