## Our read

Arabella is a golf and spa hotel in the Kogelberg Biosphere, about 90 minutes from Cape Town, not a room on the Hermanus cliff. The page counts 145 rooms, a Peter Matkovich course with rounds printed between R890 and R1,595, and the Bot River Lagoon rather than the beach at the door. Come for that course and that reserve. Skip it if you needed to step onto sand.

## Come here for

- A Peter Matkovich course, par 72, with a round printed between R890 and R1,595
- The Kogelberg Biosphere, about 90 minutes from Cape Town
- Jamani, and three pools, on a cashless estate beside the lagoon

## Skip it if

- You wanted the beach at the door. The page says the beach is a short drive.
- You assumed two children stay free. Here, one child under 18 stays free in a suite.

## The place

Arabella Hotel, Golf & Spa is on the Arabella Country Estate, on the R44 at Kleinmond, inside the Kogelberg Biosphere. The page counts 145 rooms and suites, and says Cape Town is about 90 minutes away. The golf course is 18 holes, par 72, designed by Peter Matkovich. A round is printed between R890 and R1,595. Jamani is the restaurant. There are three pools: a main pool with a waterfall, a lap pool, and a hydro pool. The hotel is cashless. The page places the estate on the Bot River Lagoon, a short drive from the beach, and names whale watching in Hermanus as a trip. The phone is +27 28 284 0000. This is not a Hermanus beach hotel. The floral reserve and the course are the reason for the drive. One child under 18 can stay and eat breakfast free in a suite, which is a tighter rule than many of the group's city hotels. The page does not print a fixed nightly room rate. Someone who wanted the sand at the door should book the coast. Someone who wants the fynbos, the lagoon, and a booked tee time is looking at the right gate. Reserve with the hotel. MindReach does not take the booking.
