    The town has a number of interesting shops for homeware, clothing and home-produced preserves and food stuffs. There is a good range of restaurants and we enjoyed our meals at Clementine's, Gosto and the Clarens Brewery. Most places are to be found around the central grassy square and they are very easy to access..

    Clarens has its own special charm and uniqueness. People are friendly and one feels safe there. Its in beautiful surroundings and the shops around the square are very cool to walk around and just chill.

    Clarens is over commercialised.

    Clarens is over commercialised. It mostly consists of numerous shops consisting of items you can find in many other places. The Emporium was a favourite. Excellent owner with a lot of details on the figuribes sold there. I thoroughly enjoyed buying my Burmese figure there. The art galleries are a must. Personally Clarens for me is more of a stop to go hiking and go to Golden Gate. It is too busy, bad roads - and I am used to potholes. The Protea hotel in the middle of town was a let down. Such a big hotel in nature was unnecessary. If you want to walk and just look at shops the town will work for you. Personally for me this is a good area to stop and go hiking and take a break from the city but other than that not somewhere I will visit frequently.

    The hiking trails around Clarens are very well worth while doing and are not too strenuous, provided that you keep to the ones lower down the mountainside. The town square is where it all happens and is a lovely buzz. Food outlets are good and plentiful.

    The Clarens Conservancy is well looked after.

    The Clarens Conservancy is well looked after. We paid R40 for a map and R30 each for a 7-day ticket and the money is well used to maintain a wonderful network of walks along the river and the side of the mountains. For us this was the highlight, although we also enjoyed visiting the shops on the central common. Our only disappointment was that the drought meant that the waterfalls were dry! Based on our culinary experience, at the to-rated restaurant, I suggest you stick to the traditional "country" favourites and resist the tempation to try the more "gourmet" dishes Clarens is a great place for combining activity with relaxation and it still suprises me how close it is to Joburg (less than 3,5 hours) on decent roads and that having been in South Africa for almost 30 years, this was our first visit. Btw we did not even get to the Golden Gate National Park this time but will do that at our next visit.

    It was our second stay and hopefully not our last. What a wonderful place with everything you could possibly need. It is set on a very pretty farm and easy to reach Clarens or Bethlehem. Minda is amazing and does everything she can to make you feel at home. We were welcomed with delicious brownies waiting for us in our room and the fire all set up for us to light. They also have Braai meals you can pre-order to cook in your own private Braai complete with a beautifully made Salad and farm bread. Definitely a stop you need to make. Thank you.

    Saints Rest is well equipped holiday home within close proximity to Clarens. The house is situated in tranquil surroundings in a golf estate and has a nice view of the mountains. The 4 bedrooms are all en suite which ensures privacy when travelling in a large group. I highly recommend Saints Rest to a large group of travellers.

    Very friendly front desk's staff and waiters. George was so kind to us. Always guiding where possible and informative. Chefs were so friendly. Food was nice. Most items are of the 5 star hotel. View from the room and the lobby gives an opportunity to see Clarens. Definitely sure, a place to stay again when in the area

    This has been the best self catering facility I have ever stayed in to date. It is now my favorite place to stay in Clarens as well as anywhere else. The furniture, facilities, view, setup, cutlery, inner items, layout, design and location being near the river is next level and completely stunning.

    We are a couple traveling with our dog. We liked that this house is pet friendly and has a small enclosed garden for our dog. The house is clean, well-appointed, and thoughtfully stocked up. It has a lovely wrap around porch with a lovely view of Clarens hillside.
