5 STAR EXPERIENCE FOR 3 STAR PRICE - i have stayed at numerous establishments over the years and this guesthouse is one of the best. The room was large and very comfortable with a fridge, kettle, microwave & TV. My room was decorated with inspiring and artful decor of a high standard. The linen, duvet & pillows were fresh, clean and plump, and the bedroom and bathroom were spotlessly clean. I arrived to a warm welcome and a serene setting in a beautiful garden. The location is superb as it is close to town but very peaceful next to a mountain stream. Restaurants are in walking distance.

The breakfast was excellent. It was served outside in a lovely garden. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the hosts left milk, water, home made rusks. The location was easy to find and close to the center of Clarens. The hostess, Mercia, was extraordinarily gracious. We thoroughly enjoyed talking with her. Our stay there was the last night in S. Africa and my birthday and Mercia made it memorable!

Awesome stay My husband and I really enjoyed our stay, from the friendly welcome from Karel and Harley (the resident dog) to the amazing views from the room, every day was truly enjoyable. The room is clean and well equipped. Crisp clean linen with electric blankets and underfloor heating for those cold winter nights. The complimentary sherry, chocolates, tea, coffee, fresh milk make the stay feel a little like home away from home. There are various breakfast options which Karel freshly prepares every morning. (Muffins are top class) The B&B is well located within a short walking distance from all shops and restaurants though far enough from the centre of town to avoid one feeling as you are stuck within the buzz of this small town. Karel is an excellent host and always willing to provide his knowledge and advice of the area to make ones stay truly enjoyable and is also open to hearing recommendations from others. Many thanks for the birthday surprise Karel. We will be back

    Wonderful and helpful host, appreciated the efforts taken to manage the potential water crisis faced by the town/community. This was reassuring the moment we took off our shoes. Great location, central yet in a secluded safe part of the village, a stone throw away from a hidden walking trail.

    The room was exactly like in the photos. Squeaky clean, tastefully decorated, and with nice personal touches. It is situated off the main road, so no noisy cars. Loved the view of the mountain and the peace and quiet. We enjoyed the visits from the friendly kitties, too! The bed was very comfy, and everything we needed was provided. Madeleine was a great hostess, and we will definitely come stay again
