    Great location for walking with your fur baby.

    Great location for walking with your fur baby. Several stores sell Clarence Conservancy permits and maps and the conservancy is well-maintained and marked so it's safe and easy to walk and hike. There are a number of restaurants and coffee shops so it's possible to skip the self-catering option.

    One of the best destinations in South Africa.

    One of the best destinations in South Africa. The town lies amidst beautiful sandstone mountains, it has excellent restaurants and very interesting little shops. There are so many activities in the area like walking, mountain biking, quad biking and horse riding to name just a few. It is really a small town with a big heart!

    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 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.

    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.

    Fabulous facilities, rooms done out very well especially the bathrooms. Decor is also lovely. The coffee pods, milk frothers, fresh milk and rusks are a lovely touch too. Really appreciate these in a hotel room. Breakfast was also good and the dining room has great views over the mountain. Overall a great, little hotel especially for the price. Loved it!

    We made our reservation very last minute, but without hesitation, we were accepted and welcomed. The cottage had everything we needed and more. Very tranquil, homey and lovely. Clarens has a special feel, and the cottage definitely helps with capturing that feeling - with a slight view of the mountains, the beautiful garden, and homey and clean cottage!

    We picked Rosewood as it was extremely accessible to town. Only a few meters and you are there but still have the quietness of a country side getaway. We were very happy with how comfortable we were in the unit after a very long Motorbike trip. Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy more of Rosewood and Clarens.

    The Farm is absolutely amazing and is a stunning place to stay at. Not far from Clarens at all, very close. The bedding is so crisp and fresh and the views are stunning, the best is when the stars come out at night. The people are so welcoming and friendly.
