    Maybe a ight above the shower, it is a bit dark. maybe a gate motor with remote for the entrance gate for vehicles.

    Beautiful view of the mountains. Modern design, Spacious and Very Clean. Had a Great Stay! Host was very friendly and helpfull. The no room service was also a plus as no one disturbed us during our peaceful stay.

    That we were only there for 2 nights! Would've loved to stay longer:)

    Loved everything about it! Large, comfortable unit for 4, with everything you need.Coffee, tea sugar and milk in the fridge! Private as well. We couldn't see our neighbors. Clean and comfortable beds and bedding. Great for families with kids as there's a nice secured lawn for the kids to play. Most stunning views! Sunrise and sunset not to be missed! Walking distance from town centre. Book it! You won't regret it!

    I think it could use a splash pool in the yard.

    This place is perfection. It is very modern, clean and spacious. It screams modern elegance in the mountains. The view from the balcony is exceptional. The self check in is an intorvert's dream. The rooms were very stylish and I could not find one thing in the apartment interior I did not like.

    There wasn't anything that I didn't like.

    The view was spectacular! It's the 1st thing you see when walking in to the house. It has enough space, it's furnished tastefully, it has adequate kitchen space and tools and on further exploration realized there are emergency lights for loadshedding, a Kettle for the gas stove top for when there is no power. I don't usually sleep under bedding provided by places like these, I felt comfortable enough using their linen, it was clean and fresh. It was spacious accommodation. Very private. Also very central to all the attractions and a short walk to the town circle where everything happens from 9am to 4pm. The hosts were great too and check-in was hassle free and easy peasy

    The blanket on the bed felt dated, and could be improved. The roa in front of the property is very busy, and noisy at times. The plants could use some water and attention.

    Property is very spacious, and well appointed. Privacy was good.

    I would have liked more walking maps or details of paths of the local area but this only a minor suggestion.

    The accommodation exceeded our expectations! Great location, superb facilities, comfortable beds and amazing views of the Maluti mountains. I made an additional request which was promptly resolved. Communication with host was fantastic. We had regular load shedding updates so we planned our activities around it. If you enjoy a sunrise this is the best spot.

    The house was clean, neat and modern. The view from the outside patio was incredible. The location was nice and near to the town and easy access to shops & restaurants. Monique was an amazing host and communication was perfect from before we arrived until after. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to another visit soon.

    Hair towels would have been welcomed (there was only one towel per guest). There are no railing in main bedroom for hanging clothes. No flat sheets (duvets alone a bit hot for summer).

    Modern. Great view of the mountains. Very comfortable unit.

    No door mats, it rained a lot so we dragged lots of water in with us and had to use the shower mat by the front door.

    The view was like a postcard. Perfect for two couples. The fireplace warmed the whole place up.

    Backup power should be a consideration. Loadshedding unfortunately is RSA thing, but if they can invest in backup power could make the place more desirable.

    Fireplace is amazing

    Nothing to complain about, we loved the place. A suggestion: the main entrance driveway gate does not lock, this might not be a safety issue in Clarens but being from Joburg it would have given us more peace of mind if it locked/had a lock.

    Modern property that opens up onto the patio with great views.
