    I would stay here again, and recommend it.

    Too little cupboard/packing space in the main and kids bedrooms for clothes; we had to stack them on the ironing board. No cutting board for preparing food, but that is an easy fix for the hosts. More traffic than expected as the road leads to a local township about 2km away

    Spacious and clean, with a large patio and beautiful mountain views. Kitchen reasonably well equipped, but could do with a cutting board. Within walking distance to one of the entrances of the Clarens Conservancy. If you are in a wheelchair/have trouble with stairs - there are none, so would help a lot for those people.

    I went as a single parent with her daughter, the place felt cozy (but with more than enough space) it felt safe and everything I needed was within reach. The views is exceptional. The host is friendly and accommodating. And it is work friendly, wifi is included.

    A peaceful and well-kept spot we’ll definitely be back, and next time with my husband too!

    Just a small note for the owners: the shower door seems to be leaking slightly, and there's a bit of water damage on the shower wall as a result. Also, while the electric blankets are lovely, having the option of a thicker, heavier blanket on the beds would be great — especially in winter, for those who prefer a more traditional cozy cover.

    We had such a lovely overnight stay at this charming spot in Clarens. It was the perfect base for myself and my daughters ahead of our hiking in the Golden Gate are. The home is cozy — the fireplace added such a warm and inviting atmosphere and the electric blankets were a wonderful touch for the chilly night. The sunset from the balcony was absolutely breathtaking — a memory we’ll hold on to for a long time. Everything in the place was in great working condition, and it was clear that a lot of care has gone into keeping it well-maintained. We were also impressed by the JoJo tanks on the property, providing solid backup water — a reassuring feature. Overall, this stay ticked all the boxes: peaceful, comfortable, and practical. We’ll definitely be back soon, and next time I’ll be bringing my husband to enjoy it too!

    Not a thing.

    Clarens Escape offered every comfort one could possibly need. The furnishings were lovely and the beds so comfortable. The electric blankets and fire were a bonus in the chilly weather. The views from the deck were spectacular.

    It was great to have stayed here. We booked one night but quickly extended it. The house feels like home, and the surroundings are superb for good hikes. The house is equipped with all you need, kitchen and with a good shower (and pressure!). Clear and good communication with the owners. Would absolute recommend this place.

    Very clean, modern and spacious with a great view! Simple and easy check in and out with very accommodating hosts. The location is great since it is walking distance to the town centre but also close to the start and end points for several hiking routes.

    I feel like there could have been a sponge to clean the dishes. That would have been quite helpful, since a lot of the dishes were not very clean and most of them had oil stains on them. We also found a toenail.

    The hosts were very accommodating. There was already wood for the fire place. The place was very conveniently located and the facilities were great to use. The floors, bedroom, and bathroom were clean when we arrived

    Everything went well. Hosts went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable.

    It was spacious, had good views of the mountains. The hosts were very friendly- we knew exactly what to do prior for the self-check in. Clarens is very cold this time of the year, the apartment had the option to use the fireplace and electric blankets on all the beds! This was fantastic. Very central location easy to get to restaurants and shops.

    That we were only there for 2 nights! Would've loved to stay longer:)

    Loved everything about it! Large, comfortable unit for 4, with everything you need.Coffee, tea sugar and milk in the fridge! Private as well. We couldn't see our neighbors. Clean and comfortable beds and bedding. Great for families with kids as there's a nice secured lawn for the kids to play. Most stunning views! Sunrise and sunset not to be missed! Walking distance from town centre. Book it! You won't regret it!

    I think it could use a splash pool in the yard.

    This place is perfection. It is very modern, clean and spacious. It screams modern elegance in the mountains. The view from the balcony is exceptional. The self check in is an intorvert's dream. The rooms were very stylish and I could not find one thing in the apartment interior I did not like.
