Arlington's outdoor amenities
Pool & Sun Deck
Our sparkling swimming pool & sun deck lets you unwind and cool off during the subtropical summers of KZN and take a refreshing dip while also providing entertainment for guests with children. The sun deck is the spot to soak up some rays—even during cooler winter days—making it a year-round retreat. The pool area also serves as a dynamic space where guests can mingle, relax, and enjoy the refreshing water.
Gardens
Our lush gardens offer a peaceful retreat for guests after a busy day in Pietermaritzburg, with manicured lawns, mature trees and other indigenous greenery. These gardens also provide an amazing setting for intimate events such as a romantic garden wedding, a laid-back outdoor social, or kids birthday party and our grounds offer the convenience of Arlington’s accommodations just a step away for your guests' convenience.

A braai is a classic South African pastime, bringing together friends & family over a delicious, flame-grilled meal and great conversations. We embrace this tradition by offering our guests portable braai facilities. While having an array of self catering options, our braai facilitate a sizzling way to savour dinner with family and friends.
