Private ligging van huis was 'n voordeel. Groot erf vir kinders om te speel.

Huis was baie gerieflik met alles wat nodig was. Die skottelgoedwasser was 'n lekker bederf. Daar was selfs tee, koffie en suiker tot ons beskikking.

Private location of house was an advantage. Large yard for children to play.

House was very comfortable with everything needed. The dishwasher was a nice treat. There was even tea, coffee and sugar at our disposal.

Beautiful well-stocked home with a gorgeous backdrop, close enough to the village but far enough to feel peaceful. Lovely large garden for pets.

Positief: Goed toegeruste kombuis. Kaggel en vuurmaakhout. Genoeg spasie. Battery en "inverter" vir beurtkrag. Negatief: Volgens die beskrywing op die webtuiste het die huis 3 badkamers, maar daar is net 2 badkamers en 'n aparte toilet.

Van ons aankoms, tot ons gery het, was 'n belewenis! Die huis het aan al ons verwagtinge voldoen en soveel meer! Ons kamers was heerlik warm met aankoms, warm beddegoed, elektriese komberse, kaggels en soveel meer het die verblyf onvergeetlik gemaak.

Dit was fantasties. Ons het dit baie geniet in Clarens en die ligging van die huis was perfek want dit was baie rustig en stil. Ons het ons 2 huskies saamgevat en hulle het die groot erf verskriklik baie geniet. Ons familie het dit vreeslik baie geniet en sal beslis weer die huis bespreek in die toekoms as ons weer Clarens besoek.

Kritiek wat ons het. 1 - Die kaggel in die eetkamer werk nie so effektief soos die een in die sitkamer nie, dink dalk die skoorsteen is effe geblok, so as hulle dit kan uitsorteer sal dit goed wees. 2 - Die hout wat voorsien was, is nie die beste nie, paar stukke was bietjie nat en hulle het baie vinnig uitgebrand, so stel voor hulle kry ander harde hout wat langer sal brand en droog is. 3 - Sal aanbeveel dat hulle n tuinslang buite sal sit by kraan. Ek het Saterdag gaan fietsry en erg modder geslaan, so dit was baie moeilik om my fiets skoon te kry sonder 'n tuinslang. 4 - Boonste slaapkamer, een bed se elektriese kombers het nie gewerk nie, so hulle kan daai net uitsorteer want dit kan lekker koud word in die aand.

It was fantastic. We really enjoyed it in Clarens and the location of the house was perfect because it was very peaceful and quiet. We took our 2 huskies with us and they enjoyed the big yard very much. Our family really enjoyed it and will definitely book the house again in the future if we visit Clarens again.

Criticism we have. 1 - The fireplace in the dining room is not working as effectively as the one in the lounge, think the chimney is a bit blocked, so if they can sort that out that would be great. 2 - The wood provided is not the best, some pieces were a bit wet and they burned out very quickly, so suggest they get other hard wood that will burn longer and is dry. 3 - Would recommend that they put a garden hose outside by the faucet. I went for a bike ride on Saturday and got really muddy, so it was very difficult to get my bike clean without a garden hose. 4 - Upstairs bedroom, one bed's electric blanket didn't work, so they can just sort that out as it can get pretty cold in the evening.

Comfortable, clean and practical.

We loved our stay at Clarens Valley Lodge. We were guided by clear instructions that made our arrival and check-in seamless. The house is spacious and perfect for a group stay. The dishwasher is such a bonus and adds to the comfort of the house. The garden is beautiful! Everything was just exactly what we needed. The location is perfect. The municipality had a water challenge and we were promptly notified by the lodge. Thank you for making our weekend and birthday celebrations everything we wanted it to be.

Cozy wegbreek

Die verblyf en uitsigte is pragtig! Dit was gerieflik vir ons gesin en eggenote van 8, alhoewel die kamers nie baie klankdig is nie, mens kan in die onderste kamers elke stap, krap en karring van die boonste verdieping hoor wat nogal irriterend raak oor 'n lang naweek verblyf maar anders as dit het ons heerlik gebly. Die kaggels in die leefareas het dit so aangenaam gemaak en twee badkamers met genoeg warm water was net amazing! Dit was werklik net so 'n lekker rustige knus wegbreek.

Cozy getaway

The accommodation and views are beautiful! It was comfortable for our family and spouses of 8, although the rooms are not very soundproof, in the lower rooms you can hear every step, scratch and rustle from the upper floor which becomes quite annoying over a long weekend stay but otherwise we had a great stay. The fireplaces in the living areas made it so pleasant and two bathrooms with enough hot water were just amazing! It really was just such a nice peaceful cozy getaway.

Dit was 'n rustige en aangename naweek.

Ons het baie lekker gebly die naweek. Die groot tafel en oop kombuis het 'n baie tuis atmosfeer geskep. Baie netjies en veilig en loopafstand van die dorp af. Enigste nadeel is dat daar nie 'n wasgoeddraad is nie - dit het 'n problem geskep toe ons wasgoed gewas het. Verder geen problem nie - rêrig 'n aangename lodge om oor te bly - sal definitief weer gaan.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3-night visit at Clarens Valley Lodge. The accommodation was neat, spacious, clean and fully equipped down to the last detail. If anything, the description on the website does not do it justice. By the end of our stay, we were certain that we will be back in Clarens and our accommodation of choice will definitely be Clarens Valley Lodge.

Netjies en skoon.

'n Gerieflike en netjiese plekkie tussen die berge. Ons het gemaklik geslaap en veilig gevoel. Baie lekker gekuier en geëet.

Ruim huis vir vele siele!

CVL is geleë aan die buitewyke van die dorp, maar nog steeds 'n gemaklike loop na die hoofdorp. Die huis is baie ruim en 'n lekker groot tuin vir kinders om 'n bal in te skop. Dit is nie 'fênsie' nie, maar ideaal vir 'n groot groep. Die plek het 'n bietjie liefde en aandag nodig (rede vir die 3-ster vir waarde vir geld). Die hoofeetkamer het 'n lekker groot tafel vir eet en speletjies speel, maar ongelukkig is die stoele 'n bietjie lendelam.

Spacious home for many souls!

CVL is located on the outskirts of town but still an easy walk to the main town. The house is very spacious and a nice big garden for children to kick a ball in. It is not 'fancy' but ideal for a large group. The place needs some love and attention (reason for the 3 star for value for money). The main dining room has a nice big table for eating and playing games, but unfortunately the chairs are a bit stiff.

Malfunctioning fireplace with smoke and smell changed a 5 star rating into a 2 star - the smoke was totally unpleasant.

Walking into the house you are hit with a strong smoky smell. The actual accommodation was amazing. Beds extremely comfortable, linen clean and all in all a good place except if you want to enjoy a fire on a cold night. The fireplace does not work properly (we have 2 similar fire places at home, so my husband knows how to use them) - the whole house is filled fairly quickly with the smoke that leaks from the fireplace and it made our jackets and clothes smell. Not the nicest experience. The previous reviewer also noted this defect and we had hoped it would have been rectified.

Clarens Valley Lodge 's response

The fire place in the main lounge has now had a new chimney fitted which is compatible with the wood burning fire place. The flu top opening is been widened to allow for more draft through the chimney. The fire place place problem has been solved. We would request all guests to please use very dry and weathered wood and no the green freshly cut wood that is sold alongside the road as this creates huge amounts of smoke and blocks the chimney very quickly with tar.

A very cold weekend. Fortunately we had a handyman in the group who was able to assist to get at least one of the fireplaces going.

A lovely house with 2 fire places. However, staying there in winter is impossible. When we got there, there was a note in the one fire place to the effect that it is faulty and cannot be used. The other fire place smoked us out of the house. The guest toilets' toilet roll holder was broken and so was the hand towel hanger. The paper roll holder in the kitchen was also broken. The TV did not work when we got there and we had to get the TV company out to fix the problem. General upkeep of maintenance will go a long way in keeping the clients happy. The worst issue is the faulty fireplaces.

Clarens Valley Lodge 's response

Thank you for your review. The guest toilet roll holder and towel rail holder, after being broken by previous guests and not reported, have now been fixed. The manager of the house called the DStv technicians and the problem was rectified within the hour. The guests did not call out the technicians. The fireplace is being serviced this week and should be up and running before the weekend. Unfortunately, many guests do use very green wood and expect miracles in a fire place, but all it does is smoke and clog up the chimney.

Netjies, skoon en pragtige omgewing.

Die huisie is op 'n baie lekker ligging en die die uitsig is beeldskoon. Die huis is mooi en skoon en ons het lekker gebly. Ek sal net aanbeveel om na die TV te kyk, want hy sny uit indien jy kanale verander. Verder was dit heerlik!

The house is in a very nice location and the view is beautiful. The house is nice and clean and we had a nice stay. I would only recommend watching the TV as it cuts out if you change channels. Other than that it was delicious!

Ideaal vir 'n lekker wegbreek saam met jou familie of vriende. Lekker ruim huis.

Dit is 'n baie lekker ruim huis met baie slaapplek maar het net toilet- en stortgeriewe op die onderste vloer. Dit is dus nie ideaal vir meer as 4 volwassenes nie. Die boonste kamers is vir kinders en daar is ook nie deure vir die boonste kamers nie. Die kombuis is baie goed toegerus maar daar is klein goedjies in die huis wat aandag kort.

Ideal for a nice break with your family or friends. Nice spacious house.

It is a very nice and spacious house with plenty of sleeping space but only has toilet and shower facilities on the lower floor. So it is not ideal for more than 4 adults. The upper rooms are for children and there are no doors for the upper rooms either. The kitchen is very well equipped but there are small things in the house that need attention.

Lekker blyplek vir baie mense

Hierdie huis is perfek vir groot groepe/families en die feit dat ek my diere kinders kon saamneem maak dit soveel te meer geskik. Alles was mooi en skoon en gerieflik ingerig. Die enigste bietjie ongemak was die kaggel wat die huis vol rook gelaat het maar dis 'n probleem wat reggemaak kan word. Ons sal definitief weer hierdie akkommodasie gebruik in Clarens.

Nice place to stay for many people

This house is perfect for large groups/families and the fact that I could take my animals with me makes it that much more suitable. Everything was nice and clean and comfortably furnished. The only bit of discomfort was the fireplace that left the house full of smoke but that's a problem that can be fixed. We will definitely use this accommodation again in Clarens.

Thank you for your feedback. The fireplace is being repaired this week. Unfortunately, a lot of green wood has been used by guests previously which clogs up the chimney and creates tons of smoke. It is very difficult to police this. I would request guests to please always try to buy very dry wood which burns clean.

Pragtige verblyf tussen die berge.

Clarens Valley Lodge is 'n pragtige wegbreek vir 'n naweek en kan gemaklik 6 mense accommodate. Baie gerieflik en hulle voorsien als wat jy benodig vir self-catering. Die elektriese kombersies het ons lewe gered in die koue! Baie dankie vir die wonderlike naweek weg saam met die familie, dis net wat ons nodig gehad het!
