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.
The host, Lindsey, is absolutely amazing!
The bed was comfy and came with electric blankets (and water bottles) for the cold winter nights in Clarens:)
Rechargeable LED lanterns (for when Eskom disappoints)
The location was perfect - just a short distance from the town centre
Family friendly place (large boma area and braai facilities), and pet friendly
WiFi was great
Over the Easter Weekend we stayed at Firepit@Clarens in the Clarens Golf Estate.
The house was very clean and neat and it has ample parking.
The house is newly renovated because it use to be two separate units and unfortunately it still feels like two separate units.
We had a very enjoyable stay but we just want to bring a couple of things to the host’s attention.
The attention to detail in this hotel is unmatched. From a face cloth to help remove make up, a shower that has the perfect water pressure, abundant supply of amazing coffee and staff that make you feel like royalty. The hot breakfasts each morning were deliciously enjoyed overlooking the Clarens Valley.
360 days to have fun 360 ways!!!!
The place is newly built and is very neat and clean. Beautiful interior. Bed was very comfortable. The guesthouse is within walking distance from town. Beautiful bathroom with large bath. It was very cold in Clarens but there was a heater and electric blanket which made it very nice inside the room.
Location next to the Ash River was amasing!!!! Great getaway for couples to blow off steam and experience a romantic time. PODS have been equipped with such style and comfort. Cleanliness is impeccable. This is truly a HOME away frome HOME!!!!!
Will certainly make this an annual trip.
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!!
Excellent, safe location. Secure parking. Il Castello is a genuinely unusual hotel: a Tuscan castle sitting in the middle of the South African mountains. The room was spacious with two balconies. The bed was very comfortable. Attentive staff. Great food.
Very convenient location for walk into town and nearby restaurants.
We had a pleasant, comfortable little self catering cottage with nice little stoep to relax and view mountains. Place had a nice homely feel. Would happily stay there again.
Outstanding self catering accommodation. Excellently equipped with the finest detail. Beautiful garden and mountain views. Clarens on Collett invites you to take time off and relax. Just be in the moment.
Excellent location. Less than a five minute walk to the town square (which is the center of everything in Clarens). Easy walk to hiking trails around the town. Cozy property. Good wifi. Pet friendly.
Mercia and Johan were super attentive and friendly and spoiled us for our birthdays we spent in Clarens. The breakfasts were amazing. The guesthouse is within walking distance from the town center.
Nice location close to the central square in Clarens. Rooms are basic, but clean. Manager responded to our complaint about the bed being excessively noisy by moving us to another room. Appreciated!
Mariaan is very friendly and send some helpful information about the loadshedding and other activities in Clarens. The room is spotlessly clean! Good linen. Perfect location. Relaxing atmosphere.
It is in the most beautiful location in Clarens, not are you just surrounded by the most beautiful garden, mountains and stream it feels like a little piece of Heaven.
Very comfortable and relaxing stay in beautiful Clarens. Hotel is centrally located and within walking distance to the main square and all restaurants.
