Reviews
We had a very pleasant stay, however there were a few things I think that can be improved.
The stay was amazing thank you.
The only concern we had was on the 30th of December, we went out to Golden Gate and when we got back there was a contractor at the property working on the cottage roof. He had opened the cottage to charge his phone. My parents were staying in the cottage and all their stuff was there. It was a bit concerning that even though he saw there were guests there, he still went into the cottage. He was then working on the roof and hammering all afternoon long. Not an enjoyable afternoon. If a contractor has to work at the property just to let us know. My dog was also there but luckily he was in the main house otherwise he could of run out when they came in or if they had opened the main house and not the cottage. This was the only disappointment we had. Besides that we loved the stay thank you.
This cottage was unique in style and had lots of quirky extras. The kitchen was well supplied with all the items required. The huge fireplace in the lounge was a Godsend on the rather cold and rainy days.
Nice quiet area with fantastic views. The house is charming with a big yard for dogs as the place is dog friendly. Really enjoyed my stay, wish I could move in permanently!
Very nice stay thank you. Quiet good. The view from the upper deck was pleasant. Thank you.

Clarens Reviews
Love the mountains for a nice hike.
A variety of restaurants and shops to explore.
We love exploring Golden Gate, wondering through the shops in the Town and visiting our favourite Clarens Brewery. We enjoy supporting the smaller farm restaurants in the area. Highland Brew was a lovely new addition to this trip.
Variety
Main roads to town are recommended for daylight use only. Small town atmosphere but with a wide variety of activities and stores. The annual Titanic Challenge Trail Run was my main attraction - stunning views!
Everything....food, quality of shops...felt safe...clean...friendly people....
Love all the shops and restaurants there is. Surrounded by mountains. Perfect breakaway for winter or summer.
Picturesque . lot of outdoor sport. restaurants .
Tranquil, beautiful little gem in the Free State
Village atmosphere & the beautiful mountains
Small, quaint, but very lively little town with spectacular views all around. Hiking is a must and can be done on the edge of town. We stayed at Views and the hiking trail was on our back door. Beautiful, beautiful little town offering great food, culture, entertainment and beautiful hiking trails.
