| Just an hour’s drive up the coast from Cape Town, near the popular seaside resort of Hermanus, lies . Arabella Western Cape Hotel & Spa, a haven for spa treatments and golf lovers that offers an endless array of exciting activities, including whale watching, boat trips to see great white sharks, dolphins and other marine life, and shark cage diving, where you can test your courage as you come face to face with these kings of the deep. Locals love it here, as they can get up close to nature and enjoy all that the Cape has to offer while staying at an upmarket hotel.
Arabella is located in the heart of the Kogelberg Bioshphere Reserve, which is home to a 19-strong herd of wild horses. Another very unique pastime, which has made the area extremely popular, is the opportunity to ride amongst the reserve's wild horses, who graze in the wetlands. These horses' origin is not known - one theory is that they were in fact local farm horses, the last representatives of Bolandse Waperd, a descendant of the 18th and 19th century Cape Horse, which has since become extinct.
Right through the FIFA World Cup season until September, 2010, the hotel is offering an exceptional deal- just R700 per person per night, including a full buffet breakfast which is excellent value. In addition, kids sharing with parents stay free. To book call 27 8 284 0000 or reservations@arabellawesterncapehotel.co.za and quote XWINTER when making your booking.
