In the peace and quiet of the mountains, surrounded by West Coast fynbos and Namaqualand flowers, a 19th century long house has been beautifully restored and furnished to create an idyllic Sandveld retreat. Arnion Nature Retreat offers an exclusive wilderness experience amongst open veld and ancient sandstone mountains.
Experience the sweeping views of the West Coast, while surrounded by springbok, zebra and the various types of Namaqualand flora and fauna. Unwind under the South African sun in the comfort of a rim-flow pool while zebras and springboks graze close-by.
