    Lovely stay in a gem of a South African town.

    I am undergoing a hip transplant in the next 2 weeks, therefore the stairs in front of the house was a little bit inconvenient. 99 Percent of people however would have no problem accessing the house.

    What a wonderful stay we had! Superb facilities, lovely beds, a great walk in shower and a superb host made for an unforgettable stay. We will look at no other accommodation in Clarens when we return in the future.

    The bed in the master bedroom should be checked. For me, it feels a bit like a bucket... you role towards the middle.... It may just be that I like a firm mattress....

    Great location, spacious, has everything you need. Very attentive host! We left on a Sunday and as there were no other bookings we were able to check out in the afternoon... this was great!

    There is no housekeeper everyday so you will need to do your dishes, bed etc yourself until checkout unless you pay for the housekeeper to come on those days(extra cost)

    Beautiful space, beautiful energy and very peaceful Loved the decor. Host was excellent and always in contact for any of our needs. We loved our stay! Short walk to the main square, short walks near the mountain very close by. The property is clean, well maintained, had everything we needed.

    The distance from the city centre was not ideal. Travelling on dirt road was not ideal either but it wasn't a long distance so it's not that bad

    The view of mountains from the bedroom. The cosy feel of the property. The toys and available board games made it easy to avoid switching on the tv

    Perfect holiday apartment!! The apartment was huge and equipped with everything you might need for a pleasant vacay. Communication with the owner was so nice and we got responses on short notice. The neighbourhood is quiet, seems like there are a lot of holiday houses around. The city Center is in walking distance distance although it might be complicated to walk home by night if you don’t have a torch or have any challenges with walking off-road.

    Habitat is in walking distance to Clarens Center, which is a "safe" town. The accommodation is really nice and has all what is needed for a self catering accom. Beds are comfy and there was absolutely nothing to complain. This place is highly recommendable!!

    We thought the kitchen could be better equipped. No salad bowls, no lemon juicer and poor dish drying towels. The coffee mugs were completely oversized and no whiskey glasses 😩

    Very accessible, quiet and spacious.

    The only thing that was an issue (which is no fault of Habitat) is that during loadshedding the water pump does not operate and you do not have access to water for a shower, however, with planning around loadshedding schedules, one can get around this.

    We loved the location as Habitat is excellently located close to the CBD of Clarens and to the conservancy trails. The sunsets on the deck area during winter is stunning! Habitat is furnished beautifully with all that you require and more from a self-catering establishment. The fireplace is great during winter and kept us warm during the chilly evenings and nights. The boardgames provided kept us entertained during the evenings and especially during loadshedding. The bed was super comfy and the electric blankets were most welcome. All in all, Habitat is stunning!
