I absolutely enjoyed my 2-night stay at the hotel during the Clarens Arts Festival. The hotel is a short walking distance from the city/village centre, which allowed me to enjoy all the local offerings without driving around. Absolutely bliss!! Oh, and walking around is very safe.
The staff were fantastic and made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived and checked in.
I’m making this my home for all forthcoming visits to Clarens! ❤️

We loved the entertainment area outside with the large table, braai and fire pit. The large spotted eagle owl in the beautiful weeping willow tree was a bonus! Great location, easy to walk into the centre of town to shops and restaurants.

Our accommodation at Andes was excellent, we will definitely return for a longer stay. We had a delicious dinner at Clementines, and thoroughly enjoyed a relaxed wander through the village the next morning.

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 has its own special charm and uniqueness.
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.
From the hospitality from Karel, Bianca and staff, to the 5 star self catering apartment with all the little extra touches, this is my go to place from now on when visiting Clarens. Location was perfect. Within walking distance to the center which was ideal as you are not disturbed by the noise from the restaurants etc in the evenings. The views of the mountain from each room are spectacular which is a bonus. The breakfast made by Bianca was 5 star.
The location is just outside of Clarens and a quick 5 min drive into the town square. The host was very welcoming ,friendly and the property is lovely. Great view of the Maluti mountains and also a quick 15 minute drive into Golden Gate National Park. It's a small self catering cottage on residential property with braai facilities, wifi and a small kitchenette which is perfect if you not looking to make huge meals whilst vacationing.
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!!!!
Saints Rest is well equipped holiday home within close proximity to Clarens. The house is situated in tranquil surroundings in a golf estate and has a nice view of the mountains. The 4 bedrooms are all en suite which ensures privacy when travelling in a large group. I highly recommend Saints Rest to a large group of travellers.
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.
Great colonial style hotel in the heart of Clarence. This is good and not very good at the same time. On the one hand, everything is close, on the other, it is quite noisy.
The room is excellent: beautiful, stylish, clean. The bed is beyond praise.
Clarens is often described as an oasis in the Free State. Well, The French Cottage is an oasis in Clarens. The location is absolutely fantastic and although you are in Clarens you have privacy and a magnificent secluded cave and trails to delight.
The property is extremely well equipped. The house is well designed to facilitate large families. The rooms are spacious with large on-suite bathrooms. The view over Clarens and the Lesotho Mountains in the backdrop is spectacular.
The owner greeted us warmly. She fulfilled our request for a bowl of berries and non-alcoholic champagne and added extra brownies! The farm is a lovely weekend break and there is much to see and do in the town nearby, Clarens.
The hotel facilities and location. The staff were all very friendly. Although more expensive, our stay was more enjoyable than at the town house where we used to stay. Staff at breakfast were all friendly and prompt.
Great option for a quick stay in Clarence. Centrally located and very fair price. We arrived late and even though the restaurant (which forms part of the hotel) was closed the chef whipped us up some spaghetti!
We had a wonderful time! Il Castello is a beautiful boutique hotel and pictures cannot justify how great the property looks. Rooms are huge with wonderful views. Great service and attention to detail.
