Reviews
We enjoyed our stay very much.
Lovely, clean resort. Great for children. All round pleasant and quiet stay. The WiFi was a problem.
What a beautiful resort to visit. Very calm and beautiful atmosphere. Kids enjoyed every moment at the play area and warm swimming pool. The food was also great. Wish we could have stayed a little longer.
We went for a weekend at Kiara Lodge. We are very impressed. Friendly staff. Clean facilities. Beautiful location. Really satisfied.
Staying at Kiara was breath taking and refreshing. Even though I was tired after running the Surrender Hill Marathon in Clarens. It was really relaxing being there. Thank you.
Many activities to keep children of all ages busy. Water slides are suitable for small children, there is a wide variety of jungle gyms, the jumping pillow is fun for all ages and the games room is very well equipped. - Jan 2020
Loved Kiara Lodge. We had a self catering Chalet close to the new heated indoor pool.
We only stayed 2 nights which is way too short, lots to do at Kiara. Perfect family spot. - Mercia Jennings, Dec 2019
As a family we have visited Kiara Lodge in June 2019. We have accommodated 3 chalets which were all newly renovated, beautiful, practical and offered more than expected. The staff were friendly, very helpful and this added to an enjoyable weekend stay. Kiara Lodge offers much for children, especially the playing area, and for adults the restaurant/bar on the premises is worth visiting. The views from our rooms were amazing and the walking trail was just as much fun. We will return in future. - gerhardhud, June 2019
We spent 6 days here and to my mind, it must rate as one of the best all round resorts we have visited. We stayed in a self catering unit which was well equipped and with a spectacular view of the Malutis. The resort was perfectly maintained and management clearly run a tight ship. The food supplied by the restaurant was reasonably priced and of a high standard (I recommend the Eisbein and the toasted chicken and avocado sandwich). - BigboySomersetEast, October 2019
Our favorite weekend getaway with a nice restaurant, some hiking routes and a well deserved Spa after wards! We experienced snow in the middle of Winter. it was like a fairy tail story. We come here often and just love the Spa, one of the better ones. - johanns841, June 2019

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.
