Twin rooms may also be arranged.
Fabrics are natural, the design simple and elegant.

Additional amenities include a mini bar (stocked with a selection of beverages and snacks), an electronic safe, hairdryer, air conditioning, mosquito net and tea/coffee making facilities.

There are no telephones or televisions in the rooms at Arathusa. In keeping with the traditional safari experience, the bush is best experienced “al dente”. Guests are however able to make calls from the reception area, and to send or receive e-mails and faxes.

Meal times at Arathusa are a sociable affair. From the kitchen guests are treated to sumptuous dishes, fresh produce and home baked confectionary.

At Arathusa, portions are suited to appetite – one will not find haute cuisine. One will find a taste of “ma se kombuis” (Afrikaans for “mom’s kitchen”).

South Africa is renowned for its’ fresh produce – our fruits and vegetables are a primary export to international regions all over the world. Meat, venison and poultry are also first class.

Breakfasts and lunches are served buffet style, while dinner is tailored to suit the guest’s preference. Before the afternoon game drive, guests are presented with a menu of delectable dishes on offer for the evening ahead (these change daily). Orders are placed in advance – when the vehicles return from the game drive, a sumptuous tailor-made dinner awaits.

Arathusa also offers a range of superior South African wines, produced in the Cape by well respective farms and estates.
