The hot breakfast was very good. The room layout was very effective and the interior was stunning - feels like a B&B with the trimmings of a country hotel. Only 10 rooms 5 on top floor and 5 on bottom floor.
Showers were great. And loved the background music that was playing throughout the hotel - gave a very european feeling to the hotel.

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.
The hotel is only 3 months old. It was so beautiful, i would not hesitate in recommending it , attention to detail was AMAZING - staff could not have been more attentative or caring ,nothig was too much trouble- breakfast besides continental the hot breakfast was great and good value for money - hotel is not situated in the middle of the busy town but on the outskirts so away from the crowds but within easy walking distance // secure parking for vehicles - all round VERY SATISFIED
This place is so amazing. From the location (right outside Clarens but far enough to have wide open spaces) to the little touches that make your stay so special. I wish I could have stayed longer. Johan was there to meet us and was so friendly. Unfortunately, we didn't get to walk down to the river, will definitely do that if (when) we come stay again. Chocolates and welcome drinks, comfy beds, so lovely and quiet, and the garden is so beautiful.
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 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
A beautiful Cottage in Clarens. I went on a Holiday with my Daughter , and it was perfect. A beautiful experience , Self Catering and everything you need is there. In the Cold the Fire place kept us warm and will definitely go back. The host was wonderful , accommodative and very Welcoming. There's a beautiful walk way for early risers like myself
Quiet, all amenities, great scenery and fantastic walks right from the property, I went for miles with just seeing duiker, baboons and a great diversity of birds and not another person. Close to all the attractions of Clarens but far enough to avoid the congestion of town. Linda and Martin were great hosts
The rooms were very pretty and clean, and we had an awesome view from our deck. The lodge is just far away enough from Clarens for you to feel immersed in nature, but not so far that its infeasible to visit. The bunnies running around the lodge were also super cute!
The host is friendly and the room was outstanding. Small touches like fresh milk in the fridge, comfortable bed, private parking, close to Clarens centre (walking distance), spotless bathroom and great surroundings. Also an exceptional leather shop in the building.
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.
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.
Although there was only two of us, the hotel kindly upgraded us to a much bigger family room with a large balcony overlooking the scenic mountains of Clarens. The staff were professional, proficient and helpful.
The hospitality, it felt like home away from home. As a group of friends we appreciate the patience the hosts had and the warmth they gave us. The place was clean and it's very close from everything in Clarens
We really enjoyed the lodge. It was nice and private. The room was wonderful, I really enjoyed waking up to the beesbok running around. Very close to Clarens and a short drive to Golden Gate.
Everything was perfect! 4 bedrooms each with its own bathroom. The place looks like in the pictures. Clean, neat, comfortable, GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY! Close to all activities in Clarens
