        Best guesthouse in the Eastern Cape”

        Arum House is my go to accommodation when I’m in East London. I’ve stayed at Arum on 3 different occasions over the years and the standard remains of the highest quality! Everything is perfect & very well thought through. The breakfast is exceptional and caters very well to vegetarians. Not only is Arum House central, but it’s also very close to a beautiful beach. I would absolutely recommend Arum House when in East London, its value for much & so much more!

        The facility has a generator but for some reason this was not operated during scheduled power outages. I can understand this during the day, but on two of the nights that we were there, we had power out from 21h00 to 00h00, and so had to sit in the dark, with only torches, and no access to things such as tv. The tv bouquet is also pretty limited.

Breakfast was amazing and actually served great coffee. I also appreciated the effort put on by staff such as Camryn. She is friendly, witty and profesional.
