Company information

ArendsRus was founded by the Joubert family on the 1st of March 2013. Our goal was to create a South-African country style lodge where our guest can experience proper South-African hospitality in a setting to match and enjoy nature without compromise on quality and style. Therefor you will find, in our wooden rooms a rustic elegance feel with things like Egyptian cotton linen, chocolates and sherry as a welcoming drink. We opened the restaurant on the 15th of December 2013. Our chef who specializes in Traditional South African cuisine cooks the most amazing Sunday lunches. In Sept 2014 we opened the Lodge and got our 3 star grading. Our wedding venue was opened on the 1st of May 2016. We call it the “ArendsRus Barn Yard”. We constantly strive to improve our service as well as to improve our facilities for the best Garden Route experience you will ever have.
