Patcham Place is situated in the heart of Clarens, approximately 150m from the town centre and shopping area. Our rooms are luxurious all with magnificent mountain and garden views from private balcony's. All have en-suite bathrooms with showers and toilets. Prices includes breakfast. We are known for our friendly service and legendary breakfasts!

With a true passion for hospitality and our charming town of Clarens with its gentle atmosphere and abundant natural beauty, we strive to deliver not only an exceptional guest experience here at Patcham Place, but we also want our guests to really get to know this hub of creative activity, and what makes it so incredibly special. Whether you are seeking peace and remoteness, clean and fresh air, or a sanctuary retreat located a short stroll from the tranquil village, add Clarens to your bucket list and come discover that welcome feeling of solitude and getting away from it all for yourself. And once you do get here, you’ll finally understand why we gain such inspiration from the beautiful surrounds – for when it comes to our picturesque location, nature, breathtaking scenery and vast open spaces –Clarens is the ideal getaway for the whole family.

Fittingly referred to as the "Jewel of the Eastern Free State", the small town of Clarens lies comfortably between the high sandstone cliffs of the historically-rich Rooiberg mountain range encompassing the village, and the foothills of the Maloti mountains with their rolling hills, jagged mountainsides and towering peaks. Regarded as one of the most picturesque spots in South Africa where wide horizons meet clear blue skies, idyllic Clarens is situated in close proximity to the Golden Gate National Park with its golden, ochre, and orange-hued, deeply eroded sandstone cliffs and outcrops – the most notable being the Brandwag buttress, and the mountainous Kingdom of Lesotho – home to one of southern Africa’s premier ski resorts. Located 336 km from Johannesburg, 284 km from Bloemfontein and 389 km from Durban, Clarens is a country escape for all seasons and a well-known attraction for artists and photographers throughout the year, especially in autumn when the leaves turn a golden crisp colour. The laid-back village environment combined with magnificent views and a mild climate has turned this picturesque, arty little town into a popular weekend retreat for city dwellers.
