A second home in the mountains!

Our stay at Clarens Retreat over Christmas was fantastic. The view of the mountains, the friendliness of the hosts, the cleanliness and so much more. Clarens Retreat is one of those places that feels like a home away from home.

'n Plesier en so gemaklik en rustig.

Dit was regtig 'n uitstekende keuse. Die eienaars is vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die verblyf voorsien net mooi in elke behoefte en ons kon net rus en die area geniet. Baie goed gelee, en uitstekend onderhou. Die restaurant op die perseel is vanaf Woensdag tot Sondag oop.

Parkeer jou kar, bly luuks, eet die beste en stap waar jy wil wees.

Baie luukse en lekker "warm" kamers. Jy kan jou kar parkeer en die hele dorp van hier af stap. Top restaurant ook deel van die perseel met warm kaggel en vars blomme op die mooi gedekte tafels. Ons is meer as net tevrede met alles. Francois, Gerrit en Lindie is baie vriendelik en help graag met alles. Het ook generator wat seker maak die elektriesetyd bly heeltyd aan. Sal defnitief aanbeveel en weer terug wees.

Sou nie die plekkie vir lawaaierige kuiergaste aanbeveel nie, maar vir stil, stemmige besoekers, net die plek.

Excellent, except for the bathroom.

The unit is really very very cute but the bathroom made the whole beautiful picture, just a pity we didn't see any pictures of the bathroom beforehand as it wasn't part of the pictures that were on the website, then we for sure not discussed there. On the Saturday evening there was also very limited hot water at the place and we could barely get a decent bath of water.

Perfek vir 'n naweek weg.

Ons het heerlik gebly by Clarens Retreat. Die kamer was netjies en skoon. Die vars melk elke dag, tuis gebakte beskuit en ordentlike koffie in die kamer was regtig 'n bederf en iets wat nie elke gastehuis gee nie. Clarens Retreat is naby aan alles en mens kan stap tot waar jy wil wees. Ons sal vir seker hulle aanbeveel!

Uiteindelik het ons ons huwelikshedenking gaan vier in Clarens en is ons baie bly ons het by Clarens Retreat verblyf bespreek. Kamers is mooi en modern en het privaat braai en kombuis geriewe vir selfsorg. Sal enige tyd weer by jul inklok Gerrit. Dankie

Quick getaway

My husband has been promising me for 6 years to take me to Clarens and show me the Golden Gate. Finally we went to celebrate our wedding anniversary in Clarens and we are very glad we booked accommodation at Clarens Retreat. Rooms are beautiful and modern and have private braai and kitchen facilities for self-catering. Will check in with you again anytime Gerrit. Thank you

Deftige verblyf met 'n pragtige berguitsig. Francois se kos is geurig en puik. Uitstekende waarde vir geld.

Ons is vriendelik ontvang. Die woonstel is pragtig met 'n mooi uitsig. Loopafstand van Clarens se plein. Francois, die sjef en mede-eienaar, se passie vir kos skitter in sy spyskaart. Ek kan alles aanbeveel. 5-ster.

Baie vriendelik ontvang deur ons gasheer, Gerrit. Kamers was baie netjies, skoon en ruim. Pragtige, skoon tuin. Veilige parkering. Alhoewel ons die by Clarens Retreat se restaurant geëet het nie, het ons wel Chef Francois ontmoet. Loopafstand na die dorpie met al die winkels en restaurante.

Rustig en baie gemaklik - het als wat jy nodig het.

Clarens Retreat is perfek geleë om die besigheid van die dorp te mis, maar ook naby genoeg om te stap na al die winkels en restaurante. Die eenheid is baie gemaklik ingerig en het als wat mens nodig het. Die uitsig is asemrowend!

Glad nie geld werd nie.

Badkamer se teëls het aanpak op, verblyf het na sigarette rook geruik en definitief nie na 'n kaggel nie. Beddegoed het merke op en komberse het hare op. Verblyf het ook nie selfde gelyk buite soos die foto's nie en is nie by die retreat soos gespesifiseer op die webtuiste nie.

Not worth money at all.

Bathroom tiles were peeling, accommodation smelled of cigarette smoke and definitely not of a fireplace. Bedding has marks on it and blankets have hair on it. Accommodation also does not look the same outside as the photos and is not at the retreat as specified on the website.

Die eenheid was gerieflik en baie netjies.

Die enigste negatiewe aspek was dat dit blyk of die twee kleiner eenhede op een geyser werk. Ons het 2/3 oggende baie min of geen warm water gehad om te stort nie. 'n Koue stort is minder aangenaam in 'n koue Clarens.

Fantastiese waarde vir geld.

Goed geleë, skoon en netjies. Maklik om te kry. Goed uitgelê, goed toegerus. Warm vloer absolute bonus in die winter. Beveel dit sterk aan vir 'n kort wegbreek en selfs vir 'n langer vakansie.

Ongelooflike waarde vir geld en perfek geleë!

Ek was lanklaas so beïndruk met die kwaliteit van akkommodasie. Die eenheid was skoon, netjies en lekker groot. Daar was elke dag iemand wat kom skoonmaak het ook! Die eenheid is loopafstand van winkels en uiteetplekkies. Beide Gerrit en Francois kan hulself op die skouer klop met die lieflik kunssinnige en goed toegeruste eenhede. Ek kan nie wag om weer by julle te kom kuier nie. Ek mis die mooi groot boom in die voortuin! Baie dankie dat julle deel daarin gehad het om ons vakansie spesiaal te maak.

I haven't been so impressed with the quality of accommodation in a long time. The unit was clean, tidy and nice and big. There was someone who came to clean every day too! The unit is within walking distance of shops and eateries. Both Gerrit and Francois can pat themselves on the back with the lovely artistic and well-equipped units. I can't wait to visit you again. I miss the nice big tree in the front yard! Thank you very much for your part in making our holiday special.

Clarens Retreat is baie sentraal geleë en kon ons van daar af loop en die hele dorp verken.

Baie dankie aan Gerrit en sy venoot se vriendelikheid. Ons het baie lekker gebly en alles wat ons nodig gehad het was in die kamer beskikbaar. Dit was baie netjies. Ek het ook gewaardeer dat hulle voor die tyd vir ons alles ge e-mail het rakende die ontbyt en ander etes wat beskikbaar is. Alhoewel ons nie daarvan gebruik gemaak het nie, omdat ons al die lekker eet plekke in Clarens wou uit toets. Ons het heerlik gekuier in julle pragtige dorpie en beplan ons om weer in die winter te kom kuier om die sneeu te beleef.

Even though we didn't make use of it, because we explored all the nice restaurants in Clarens.

Dit was wonderlik om Clarens se rustigheid in hierdie pragtige selfsorghuis te ervaar.

Clarens Retreat het aan meer as ons verwagtinge voldoen. Dis 'n pragtige, baie netjiese, uitstekend toegeruste selfsorg-eenheid. Die dekor en meubels getuig van baie duur smaak. Dis uitstekend geleë en ons kon die hele Clarens vol stap sonder om weer in 'n voertuig te klim. Die uitsig op die berg terwyl 'n mens ontbyt op die stoep eet, is 'n lafenis vir die siel!

It was wonderful to experience Clarens' tranquility in this beautiful self-catering house.

Clarens Retreat exceeded our expectations. It's a beautiful, very neat, excellently equipped self-catering unit. The decor and furniture testify to very expensive taste. It's excellently located and we were able to walk the whole of Clarens without getting into a vehicle again. The view of the mountain while eating breakfast on the veranda is a treat for the soul!

Bevredigend met baie goeie persoonlike diens van eienaars.

Sal Clarens Retreat aanbeveel vir enige persoon. Die eienaars het jou welkom laat voel wat baie oulik maak. Verblyf was netjies en skoon. Al negatiewe aspek is dat daar nie 'n bad in die eenheid was nie, maar wel 'n gerieflike stort.

Uitstekend, fantasties en 'n wonderlike kuier!

Die ontvangs by Clarens Retreat het ons laat voel of ons ou vriende is wat kom kuier, warm, gul en baie welkom. Die verblyf was uit die boonste rakke. Die eenhede is pragtig gemeubeleer, fyn smaakvolle versier en beddegoed van goeie gehalte. Bederfies soos ondervloerse verhitting was die kersie op die koek. Die etes wat ons bestel het was sulke goeie waarde vir geld en absoluut heerlik. Kan steeds nie besluit of die wooneenhede of die berg die mooiste was nie. Ons kom beslis weer kuier!

Excellent, fantastic, a wonderful time!

The reception at Clarens Retreat made us feel as if we were old friends who came to visit. They were warm, hearty and welcoming. The accommodation was top notch. The units were beautifully furnished, tastefully decorated and the bedding was good quality. Luxuries like underfloor heating was the cherry on the cake. The meals we ordered was such good value for money and absolutely delicious. We can still not settle on whether the units or the mountain was the prettiest. We will definitely come again!

Was goed, maar ...

Die kamer is baie netjies en skoon. Ons is vriendelik ontvang en het oor die algemeen lekker gebly. Die hoofhek sluit glad nie, dis seker nie so 'n groot issue nie, want dit is tog Clarens. Ons het Vrydag arriveer en melk in die yskas gevind, maar dit is nie vervang toe die kamer skoongemaak is Saterdag nie. Ons moes toe Sondagoggend swart koffie drink. Vrydagaand het die water in die geiser redelik gou koud geword maar dit was beter Saterdag en Sondag. Die staf het ook vreeslik geraas vroeg Sondagoggend in die waskamer langs ons kamer so ons was vroeër wakker as wat ons wou wees. Dit was 'n kamer waar ons geslaap het, en het nie regtig spesiaal gevoel nie.

Was good but...

The room is very neat and clean. We were kindly received and generally had a nice stay. The main gate doesn't lock at all, it's probably not such a big issue, because it's Clarens after all. We arrived on Friday and found milk in the fridge but it was not replaced when the room was cleaned on Saturday. We then had to drink black coffee on Sunday morning. On Friday night the water in the geyser got cold quite quickly but it was better on Saturday and Sunday. The staff were also very noisy early Sunday morning in the laundry room next to our room so we were awake earlier than we wanted to be. It was a room we slept in, and didn't really feel special.

Was net 'n groot teleurstelling oor dit die plek was wat ons gekies het om ons heel eerste huweliksherdenking deur te bring.

Die water was 'n vreeslike groot probleem. Die waterdruk is nie te sleg nie, maar dit was of kokend warm of yskoud. Ons het maar oor die wasbak gewas weens die water. Ons kon ook op 'n stadium hoor hoe die bure kla oor die water toe hulle gebrand het. Dis 'n pragtige plek, maar weens waarde vir geld sal ek eerder op 'n ander plek gaan bly. Ons besoek Clarens ten minste 3 keer per jaar en het vir goedkoper al in beter en lekkerder plekke gebly. Die water het dit ongelukkig 'n onaangename ervaring gemaak.

Was just a big disappointment that it was the place we chose to spend our very first wedding anniversary.

The water was an awfully big problem. The water pressure is not too bad, but it was either boiling hot or freezing cold. We just washed over the sink because of the water. We could also at one point hear the neighbors complaining about the water when they were burning. It's a beautiful place, but for value for money I'd rather stay somewhere else. We visit Clarens at least 3 times a year and have stayed in better and nicer places for less. The water unfortunately made it an unpleasant experience.
