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.LyleSouth Africa - 6.0Scored 6.0
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.Olivia de BruynSouth Africa - 8.0Scored 8.0

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.HanlonSouth Africa - 10Scored 10
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.ThembaSouth Africa

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
TshepoSouth Africa - From $186.05 per night9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 21 reviewsOver 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.
