Erinvale Estate Hotel & Spa is now a pet-friendly establishment welcoming human guests and their canine companions at the serene hotel in Somerset West, in the heart of the Helderberg.

According to the hotel, understanding the importance of pets as an integral part of the family, pet owners can now book a stay at the newly unveiled dog-friendly Garden Terrace Rooms.

Debbie-Lee Cockrell, general Mmanager of Erinvale Estate Hotel & Spa, said they recognise that pets are cherished family members and they are thrilled to welcome canine guests with open arms.

“At Erinvale, we are committed to providing an inclusive and memorable experience for every member of the family.

“Pet owners can arrive knowing every detail has been thoughtfully considered and that these garden terrace rooms do not compromise on any of the contemporary luxury and modern amenities,” she said.

Cockrell revealed that the countryside retreat’s pet-friendly accommodation caters for small to medium-sized dogs, ensuring the royal treatment extends to them too.

“Upon enquiry, guests can request one of the specially designated dog-friendly garden rooms, which have direct access to a small, contained garden area.

“Pooches are pampered with specialised beds, as well as an assortment of toys and treats awaiting them in the rooms.

“Water and food bowls, along with a doggy-friendly menu are all part and parcel of the stay, ensuring a tail-wagging experience for all canine clientele,” she said.

The general manager also said that the hotel’s grounds, celebrated for their indigenous gardens, provide plenty of outdoor space for pets to play and explore amid lush surroundings while the on-site restaurant, Oak Terrace, warmly welcomes dogs on a leash when accompanied by overnight guests.

“As pet-friendly travel continues to surge in popularity, Erinvale Estate Hotel & Spa proudly embraces this trend by offering an upscale, inclusive environment for canine companions.

“Our latest amenities are thoughtfully designed to cater to the growing demand for luxury accommodations that welcome pets.

“With an increasing number of travellers seeking to include their furry friends in their journeys, our commitment to exceptional pet-friendly service reflects this evolving preference in hospitality,” said Cockrell.
