"We stayed in a fantastic room, recently renovated, spotless, smart and with a wonderful shower. Some friends stayed at the chalets which are not renovated but are still in very good condition, with a beautiful view and include kitchen, varanda and braai area.
The lodge is perfect for families with children, there are plenty options for their entretainment and a very nice heated pool. Contact with nature, cute little rabbits everywhere, the mountains around, the dam... so peaceful.... I cannot wait to go again!!"Show more

Red Mountain House
"This is a great location to be in the centre of Clarens. There is a great little bar downstairs and a nice cafe also. You will be in the middle of the town which means if you are an extremely light sleeper you may not enjoy the noise on weekends. It is not bad, but just be aware of it. Staff are great and helpful. Rooms are comfortable and if you have a car, you can part at the front or the back."Show more

Andes Clarens Guesthouse
"We had a wonderful time, far from the madding crowd and noise of Clarens. The rooms are large and well laid out with a bathroom ensuite. a huge king size bed that gave a great nights rest. Clean towels daily and were given a bottle of wine, beers and a snack as a complimentary sundowners. The gardens are exquisitely manicured with an abundance of birdlife. Philna and Marius are great hosts and treated us to a breakfast that was truly fit for a king, well presented and very tasty. We will definitely make this a regular stop when we are in Clarens again.
Well done to the owners for a great experience in the heart of the Freestate."Show more

The location was fab, 2 mins walk into town, lots of nice shops and bars. Our hosts were so friendly we wished we had stayed another night to get to know them better. Would highly recomend this place to anyone a real highlight of our trip to south africa."Show more

Clarens Retreat
"This self-catering accommodation is the epitome of value for money. It felt like we were staying in a hotel, at a fraction of the cost. We knew what to expect, and were not disappointed.
The convenience of the location is a huge selling point, we could walk from our unit to the main town square in a few minutes. Had there not been a selection of restaurants close by, the menu on offer at Clarens Retreat sounded very tempting and we'd be keen to sample it on our next visit.
We had ample privacy, but also easy access to the owners had there been any issues."Show more
