Although the accommodation is self-catering, guests can select the level of catering. Our kitchen personnel can prepare traditional "boerekos" meals with meat produced on the farm. Other services such as cleaning, nanny and laundry, are also available on request. All kitchens are well equipped and high emphasis is placed on hygiene and cleanliness. Only white or cream bedding are used, of the highest quality.

Not only does Arolela serve as a useful base to the surrounding area and coastline, it also provides a safe environment where kids can play freely and adults can escape from day to day life.
