Rustig in die natuur.

Dit was absoluut salig. Alles wat mens kan nodig kry, sowel as 'n rustige atmosfeer en heerlike bos en rivier as baljaarplek vir viervoetiges.

Peaceful break away.

It was a lovely peaceful stay with Granny, Grandpa and the dogs. The place is situated right at the walking trails, bit of a walk to town, but drive is quick and easy. Nice garden for the dogs although the fence is a bit sceptical; if you have naughty dogs they might try to escape. All in all, we had a lovely stay and would definitely stay again. The 2 single beds could do with an upgrade - 1 is super hard and the other super soft. Thanks again.

Die houthut was my laaste oorslaap voor my maande lange roadtrip ten einde gekom het. Die uitsig is teen die berg, lieflik.

Dit het my verwagtinge van 'n houthut in die middel van winter in die Vrystaat oortref. Ek het gasvrou Karen nooit persoonlik ontmoet nie. Sy het slegs via WhatsApp gekommunikeer. Die bed was baie gemaklik. Elektriese kombers was 'n groot pluspunt so ook die gasverwarmer. Die kombuis was só toegerus dat jy kon kos en koffie maak te midde loadshedding wat 'n groot pluspunt is. Ná 'n dag se verken en rondloop was die houthut regtig 'n knus "huis toe gaan" blyplek.

The log cabin was my last sleepover before my months-long road trip came to an end. The view is up the mountain, lovely.

It exceeded my expectations of a log cabin in the middle of winter in the Free State. I never met hostess Karen in person. She only communicated via WhatsApp. The bed was very comfortable. Electric blanket was a big plus as was the gas heater. The kitchen was so equipped that you could make food and coffee in the midst of loadshedding, which is a big plus. After a day of exploring and walking around, the log cabin was really a cozy "coming home" place to stay.

Beautiful & Serene breakaway! Beyond our expectations!

The cabin was beyond our expectations and more than we ever hoped for. We were in complete awe with arriving and every day was such a unique experience. . Karen was an amazing host the entire process. As my first ever booking and travel plan, she was extremely helpful and understanding. She provided me with suggestions for walking routes and restaurants whilst loadshedding was ongoing. . Their location is isolated, quiet, at a stream, situated at the edge of the mountain, the geese were amazing gaurd dogs and the housekeeping was friendly and reliable. The cabin was such a cozy and romantic breakaway for us. It was away from the other rooms. . The location does not have electricity during loadshedding nor a gas plate, however, a gas heater was provided and housekeeping brought us boiling water in the morning during loadshedding times. . There is enough storage space and the bed was very comfortable (as someone with back problems, the bed did not put any strain on my back or body). . We WILL definitely stay here again in the future!

Lekker rustig in die natuur.

Jy kyk uit op die natuur en hoor heeltyd die water van die stroom vloei. Dit is veilig en naby aan die dorp indien jy iets nodig het. Clarens is 'n pragtige dorp met baie interessante winkels en genoeg eetplekke om van te kies.

Ons was Clarens toe vir ons wittebrood en moet net noem dat Cottage Pie ons regtig beïndruk het.

Die huisie was netjies en skoon en op 'n baie lekker plek geleë (nie in die bedrywigheid van die dorp nie). Ons het in die boonste rietdakkamer gebly, en dit was vir ons regtig aangenaam. Die kliëntediens was ook puik - ek het met die eienaar (Karen) oor Whatsapp gekommunikeer en sy het ons mooi ingelig van alles. Sal definitief Cottage Pie aanbeveel!

We went to Clarens for our honeymoon and just have to say that Cottage Pie really impressed us.

The cottage was neat and clean and located in a very nice place (not in the hustle and bustle of the town). We stayed in the upper thatched roof room, and we really enjoyed it. The customer service was also great - I communicated with the owner (Karen) on Whatsapp and she kept us informed about everything. Would definitely recommend Cottage Pie!

Stylvol, maar wees voorbereid vir loadshedding!

Die instansie word ge-adverteer as troeteldiervriendelik, maar maak net vooraf seker dat hulle die boodskappe wel gelees het as jy probeer reël vir troeteldiere. Hulle was verbaas toe ons daar aankom met 'n hond en 'n kat. Maar die verblyf was steeds baie lekker. Die houthuis sit op die voet van 'n berg, en het 'n tuintjie voor, met heerlike sitplek en braaiplek langs 'n stroompie. Die enigste ding wat ons verblyf sou kon beter maak is as daar 'n gasstofie ook was. Dit was baie koud die 2 aande wat ons daar was, en met loadshedding in die aand wil mens regtig net 'n koppie koffie kan drink. Verder was dit lieflik, prentjiemooi en baie skoon en netjies.

Stylish, but be prepared for loadshedding!

The establishment is advertised as pet friendly, but just make sure they have read the messages beforehand if you are trying to arrange for pets. They were surprised when we arrived with a dog and a cat. But the stay was still very nice. The wooden house sits at the foot of a mountain, and has a small garden in front, with lovely seating and a barbecue area next to a stream. The only thing that could make our stay better is if there was a gas stove as well. It was very cold the 2 nights we were there, and with loadshedding in the evening you really just want to be able to drink a cup of coffee. Furthermore, it was lovely, picture-perfect and very clean and tidy.

Goeiemore Willem
So jammer om te hoor van jou klagtes.
Die Houthuisie, Rustic Wooden Cabin, word duidelik geadverteer geen Wi-Fi en geen TV. Jy het nooit tydens julle kuier met my gekommunikeer in verband met enige navrae of versoeke nie, so ek kon gevolglik geen verduideliking aanbied nie.
Ons is altyd meer as bereid om ons gaste dadelik by te staan met versoeke. Gesels gerus volgende keer sommer dadelik met my as daar enige iets is waarmee ek kan help.
Tot volgende keer, bly gesond en gelukkig.

Very friendly and welcoming stay. The cabin is perfectly situated at the foot of the mountain and stream, yet walking distance from town.

Die verblyf tydperk by Cottage Pie was wonderlik. Die foto's op die blad wys nie die egte pragtige prent wat die plek in persoon is nie. Die diens was goed en die kamer baie mooi en snoesig. Die enigste terugslag was die ligging teen die berg (alhoewel baie mooi) wat die sein en die temperatuur (in die wintermaande) affekteer.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Cuddly and pleasant.

The stay period at Cottage Pie was wonderful. The photos on the page do not show the real beautiful picture that the place is in person. The service was good and the room very nice and cozy. The only setback was the location against the mountain (although very beautiful) which affects the signal and the temperature (in the winter months).

It was a pleasant and relaxing breakaway from everyday living.

The location of Cottage Pie cannot be beat by anyone. Sitting at the foot of the mountain with direct access, from your back yard, to pretty much all the hiking trails around town. It is very peaceful and beautiful, guaranteed to leave your soul satisfied. The rustic cabin is exactly what it sounds like, a small(but big enough) cabin with no distractions. If you're looking for a place to escape everyday life with your special someone to spend quality time together then I would recommend this option. If you're looking for something with more luxury, then one of their other room options will be what you're looking for. Karen is a wonderful host who will no doubt be able to cater to your needs.

Cosy plekkie reg teen die staproetes, was waarde vir geld en ons het verskriklik lekker gebly.

Ons het die cabin langs die stroompie en staproetes gevat, dis 'n klein cosy plekkie met net die basics, maar als wat jy sal nodig hê. Uitstekende plek en mense, het die eienaars gemis oor hulle weg was, maar ons het geen issues gehad nie en het lekker gebly.

Ek sal dit as 'n budget oornag klassifiseer. Geen stort, geen lig in badkamer, lig in kombuis maar kon nie skakelaar vind nie, swak onderhoud, bad se kraankop het bv. afgeval as jy daaraan vat. Van die ander kamers is dalk beter.

Vinnige oornagstop te fiets.

Dit is 'n pragtige plekkie, ons was verwelkom tot 'n doodstil en rustige slaapplek. Effense komplikasie met ons fietse na die eerste verdieping dra, maar dit was weens die feit dat ons té vroeg vir toegang tot die motorhuis vertrek het. Ek kan die plekkie met 'n ope hart aanbeveel.

It is a beautiful place, we were welcomed to a dead quiet and peaceful place to sleep. Slight complication with carrying our bikes to the first floor, but that was due to the fact that we left too early for access to the garage. I can recommend the place with an open heart.

Cottage Pie 's response

Hi Sue,
Thank you for staying with us at Cottage Pie.
The Upstairs Under Thatch room is advertised as a room with only heat and eat facilities and a bath and no mention of a shower in the en-suite bathroom, sorry if you miss read that.
We are happy that we could upgrade you, for free, for the one night to a bigger Ground level Bedsitter unit with a shower.
Next time you will know what to book and we look forward to welcoming you back.
Kindest regards,
Karen

Die dakkamer was baie gerieflik en skoon.

Ons het baie lekker gebly by Cottage Pie. Die enigste probleem met die dakkamer is dat die stemme van die eenheid onder ons gehoor kan word en nogal steurend kan wees as die mense hard praat. Veral vroeg in die oggend.

The attic room was very comfortable and clean.

We had a great stay at Cottage Pie. The only problem with the roof room is that the voices of the unit can be heard below us and can be quite disturbing if the people are talking loudly. Especially early in the morning.

Die plek is lekker eenkant en stil as jy nie 'n TV wil hê nie.

Geen fout met verblyf nie, maar as jy afdraai vanaf die hoofpad (teerpad), is die grondpad baie sleg vir jou kar.

Sonder twyfel die heerlikste akkommodasie-ervaring wat ek al gehad het met 'n klein gesin. Kan die Cottage Pie-familie-eenheid nie genoeg aanbeveel nie.

Die familie-eenheid by Cottage Pie is 'n ten volle toegeruste huis vol karakter, wat absoluut perfek was vir ons gesin van 5, met pragtige, ruim en 'snoesige' vertrekke. Danksy twee koolstowe is die hele huis heerlik verhit; en met die tuin wat letterlik grens aan die natuurreservaat, kon ons nie vir meer gevra het nie. Karen was so vriendelik en gasvry, dit was werklik 'n onvergeetlike ervaring. Ons sal die Cottage Pie vir seker weer sien!

Without a doubt the most wonderful accommodation experience I have had with a small family. Can't recommend the Cottage Pie family unit enough.

The family unit at Cottage Pie is a fully equipped house full of character, which was absolutely perfect for our family of 5, with beautiful, spacious and 'cozy' rooms. Thanks to two coal stoves, the whole house is wonderfully heated; and with the garden literally bordering the nature reserve, we couldn't have asked for more. Karen was so kind and hospitable, it was truly an unforgettable experience. We will see the Cottage Pie again for sure!

The accommodation was clean, however the location was right next to the nature conservancy at the end of a poor condition dirt road, which was compounded by being too far to walk to the village centre.

An indication of proximity to the main attractions within the town and whether it is in fact within easy walking distance would be a useful added feature. Due to load shedding (which is beyond the control of the owner) the property was extremely dark and lonely.

Lekker en pragtig teen die berg! 'n Rustige wegbreek.

Die rustige bestemming is uitstekend vir 'n gesin met klein kindertjies. Daar is baie spasie in die mooi tuin vir rondhol en lekker speel. Baie netjies en Karen en haar span is baie vriendelik. Mens ervaar die skoonheid en rustigheid van Clarens hier meer as naby aan die dorp, maar dis bietjie ver vir vinnig stap om iets te gaan eet, ens. Dankie! Ons sal julle waarskynlik weer sien!

Groot dankie vir Karen wat in die donker die moeite gedoen het om die boorgatpomp te kom aansit het (ten spyte van die droogte in Clarens - die hele Vrystaat). Volgende keer sal ons langer kom kuier. Vertrou dat hier Hemelse sluise sal oopmaak en voldoende reën sal val.

As jy rus en vrede in die mooiste tuin teen die berg soek is Cottage Pie die plek vir jou. Die Family Unit voel soos 'n "home away from home" met antieke mooigoed en 'n heerlike kuier kombuis. WiFi was 'n bonus met tieners. Ons het so lekker gerus, met 'n glasie port in die hand op die swaaibank by die rivier gelees en net sommer lekker batterye herlaai. Dankie vir 'n heerlike kuier.

Baie lekker gekuier.

Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang deur Karin en het dadelik tuis gevoel. Cottage Pie is lekker rustig, bietjie weg van die dorp se geraas. Ons het wonderlike weer gehad die naweek. Ons het in die Bedsitter gebly en was voldoende gewees vir ons behoeftes. Tuin is pragtig en word saam met die geboue goed onderhou. Ons sal beslis weer by Cottage Pie kuier.

Very nice stay.

We were warmly welcomed by Karin and immediately felt at home. Cottage Pie is nice and quiet, away from the noise of the town. We had wonderful weather this weekend. We stayed in the Bedsitter and it met our needs. Garden is beautiful and well-maintained, so are the buildings. We will definitely visit Cottage Pie again.

Nie vir mense wat vol fiemies is nie.

Ons het in die Besitter-eenheid gebly. Die plek is meer geskik vir 2 mense. Dit is baie beknop en daar is ook nie regtig pakplek vir bagasie nie. Die kombuis is piepklein en daar is amper geen werkspasie nie. Die eetgerei, ketel en tweeplaatstoof is uit die oudedoos en moet vervang word. Die braai het ook al beter dae gesien en die tuinstel is ook van 1980. Mens verwag met die bedrag wat jy per nag betaal dat die plek opgegradeer is. Mense met rugprobleme sal ook nie gemaklik op die beddens slaap nie, dis baie sag. Mens kan ook hoor as gaste in die boonste verdieping rondbeweeg. Moet ook nie verwag dat jy lekker voor die TV kan lê en ontspan nie, dis baie klein en in 'n kas gedruk. Goeie punte: vars beddegoed en naby aan die berg vir staproetes.

Not for people who are full of fiemies.

We stayed in the Owner Unit. The place is more suitable for 2 people. It is very cramped and there is not really any storage space for luggage. The kitchen is tiny and there is almost no work space. The cutlery, kettle and two-plate stove are out of the old box and need to be replaced. The braai has also seen better days and the garden set is also from 1980. One expects with the amount you pay per night that the place has been upgraded. People with back problems will also not sleep comfortably on the beds, they are very soft. One can also hear guests moving around in the upper floor. Also, don't expect to be able to lie down and relax in front of the TV, it's very small and tucked into a cupboard. Good points: fresh bedding and close to the mountain for hiking trails.

Cottage Pie 's response

Goeie dag Jana,
Dankie vir jou terugvoer. Ek is baie bly ons kon julle en julle 2 Scotties met vroeg inklok tyd akkomodeer die Saterdag. Ek hoop hulle het dit geniet hier by Cottage Pie in ons tuin en dat julle al Clarens se aktiwiteite kon geniet met geruste harte terwyl julle Scotties veilig by Cottage Pie was. Jammer om te hoor dat jy nie ons "Vintage" gevoel geniet het nie maar darm die beddegoed en die berge.

Teleurstellend.

Die twee kamers wat ons bespreek het was onvoldoende. Nie geskik vir selfsorg nie. Die foto's op die oorsigblad is misleidend en die groot tafel op die stoep is nie beskikbaar vir besoekers in the twee kamers nie. Die draadstoele in die tuin is oud en onvoldoende - gebuigde poot het my bejaarde pa laat val. Die kombuis is baie klein en swak toegerus. Ek moes vra vir 'n broodmes, daar is nie 'n rasper nie, 'n keuse tussen baie klein glase of bier glase. 'n Tweeplaatstoof, geen oond, bitter min werkspasie en 'n baie klein kroegyskas. Die gasvrou het ons blameer dat ons die webwerf verkeerd verstaan het en selfs al het ons moes sy eerder die houding ingeneem het dat sy ons verblyf aangenaam as moontlik wil maak. Ongelukkig was dit 'n onaangename ervaring.

Disappointing.

The two rooms we booked were inadequate. Not suitable for self catering. The photos on the overview page are misleading and the large table on the veranda is not available for visitors in the two rooms. The wire chairs in the garden are old and inadequate - bent leg caused my elderly father to fall. The kitchen is very small and poorly equipped. I had to ask for a bread knife, there is no grater, a choice between very small glasses or beer glasses. A two plate stove, no oven, very little work space and a very small bar fridge. The hostess blamed us for misunderstanding the website and even if we had she should have taken the attitude that she wanted to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Unfortunately, it was an unpleasant experience.

Goeie dag Estie
Die 2 kamers wat jy bespreek het se beskrywings is baie duidelik. Upstairs under Thatch Room het nie kombuis of privaat braaigeriewe nie. Die Bedsitter Unit lys die toerusting in die kombuis duidelik item vir item en sê ingerig vir basiese selfsorg. Nêrens word stoof of oond genoem. Oorsig fotos gee 'n oorsig in die geheel. Kamer fotos en kamer beskrywings is daar sodat jy as gas seker kan maak dat dit wat jy bespreek aan jou behoeftes voldoen. Jy het presies gekry wat jy bespreek het.
Ons het jou wel probeer tegemoet kom deur die groot hout tafel, wat nie gelys is in die kamers wat jy vir jou en jou mense bespreek het nie, wel omgedra is na die Bedsitter se tuin, met groot moeite, vir jou om julle verblyf so aangenaam moontlik te maak.
Hoop julle vlug terug na London was goed en die nuwe jaar voorspoedig.

Rustige plek om af te skakel.

Karen was baie vriendelik en was in kontak die dag wat ons moes arriveer om ons 'n spoedige reis toe te wens. Die ligging bietjie verder uit die dorp is presies wat ons gesoek het, om uit die gedruis te kom van die besige toeriste dorpie. Daar was elke dag 'n skoonmaakdiens wat die beddens kom opmaak het, skottelgoedgewas het en selfs die as in die braaier skoongemaak het. Dis baie gerieflik. Indien jy wel self-cater, is die yskassie so effe klein om alles ingepas te kry, maar ek moet bysê ons het langer gebly as die normale naweekbesoeker. Maak 'n draai by The Artist Café, baie lekker koffie en ook Karen se restaurant.

Quiet place to switch off.

Karen was very friendly and was in touch the day we had to arrive to wish us a speedy trip. The location a little further from the town is exactly what we wanted to get out of the busy tourist town. There was a cleaning service every day that made up the beds, washed the dishes and even cleared the ash in the braai. It's very convenient. If you are self catering, the fridge is too small to accommodate everything, but I have to say we stayed longer than the normal weekend visitor. Take a stroll to The Artist Café, lovely coffee and Karen's restaurant.

Ideale plek om te bly indien jy die volle Clarens ervaring wil beleef.

Ons het heerlik gebly in Cottage Pie. Dit is ongeveer 10 min se stap van die middedorp af (teen opdraande, so jy kan jouself beloon by een van die menigte restaurante as jy die dorp bereik). Daar is ook baie voetslaanpaaie en so 'n paar bergklimpaaie 2 0m van die blyplek af. Die kamers word elke dag mooi skoongemaak. Daar is ook heerlike braai-fasiliteite. Ek beveel Cottage Pie vir enige iemand aan wat 'n ware Clarens ervaring wil beleef.

We had a lovely stay in Cottage Pie. It's about a 10 min walk from the town center (uphill, so you can reward yourself at one of the many restaurants when you reach the town). There are also many hiking trails and some mountain climbing trails 20m from the accommodation. The rooms are nicely cleaned every day. There are also delicious braai facilities. I recommend Cottage Pie to anyone wanting a true Clarens experience.

Dit is lekker eenkant in Clarens geleë sodat jy eenkant kan wees, maar naby genoeg aan Clarens se besige gedeelte.

Dit was ons 2de besoek aan Cottage Pie en soos die vorige geleentheid 'n lekker rusgeleentheid. Die kamer is goed ingerig met alles wat nodig is en baie gemaklik.

It's nicely tucked away in Clarens so you can be on your own, but close enough to the busy part of Clarens.

This was our 2nd visit to Cottage Pie and like the previous occasion a nice rest. The room is well furnished with everything needed and very comfortable.

We loved that it was away from the centre of Clarens. The towns roads towards the cottage are in a bad state, but it was worth the drive.

Hi Inalize,

Happy to hear that you loved Cottage Pie and thank you for our stars

All our gravel roads in Clarens are part of the charm we like to believe, only Main Road being tarred, but I acknowledge the fact that for the 800 odd meters of gravel road to Cottage Pie slow driving is recommended, especially after rain.

Thank you for mentioning that it was worth the drive

We look forward to welcoming you back to Cottage Pie.

Kind regards,
Karen

Cosy stay in Clarens.

Cottage Pie is a peaceful place to stay and Karen is a really nice host, always available to answer your questions. The rooms are quite big and the beds were very comfortable. It's a 10 minute walk from the city center. Clarens is a beautiful town worth a visit that offers a lot of cute shops, nice restaurants and nature/hiking.

My en my vrou se beste kort wegbreek, naby aan die natuur en voldoende toegerus.

Die Cabin is my en my vrou se gunsteling plekkie om heen weg te breek vir 'n naweek. Die Cabin is voldoende toegerus en bied alles wat mens nodig het vir 'n kort wegbreek. Die afwesigheid van elektroniese toestelle soos TV's en radio's maak dit soveel rustiger en lekkerder.

Goeie ligging maar definitief kans op verbetering.

Paar punte: 1) Die webtuiste noem dit 'selfsorg' is maar daar is nie eers 'n wasbak om jou skottelgoed in te was nie? 2) Dit is winter in Clarens so die verwarmer sal definitief gebruik word. As jy dan die ketel aanskakel, bom die krag uit - Niemand lig jou in oor hierdie feit nie en jy moet maar gaan soek waar om dit weer aan te skakel. 3) Die webtuiste meld 'Veilige Parkering'. Hmm. Daar is op Cottage Pie se eiendom in my kar ingebreek en gereedskap en klere is gesteel. Amper my fiets ook! Opsomming: Ons het nie so lekker geslaap nie, dalk eerder wakker geslaap.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Good location but can definitely improve.

Few points: 1) The website calls it 'self-catering' but there's not even a sink to wash your dishes? 2) It's winter in Clarens so the heater will definitely be used. If you turn on the kettle, the power goes out - Nobody informs you about this and you just have to look around to see where to turn it on again. 3) The website states 'Safe Parking'. Hmm. On Cottage Pie's property someone broke into my car and tools and clothes were stolen. Almost my bike too! Summary: We did not sleep well, mostly awake.

Cottage Pie 's response

Goeie dag Pieter,

Ons het in ons epos kommunikasie (ek stuur al ons kommunikasie aan na Lekkeslaap) die 2-3 weke voor jou inklok datum die "selfsorg " term uitgeklaar as "geen etes ingesluit". Ek vind dit vreemd dat jy steeds nie verstaan nie, alhoewel jy in jou in jou epos en ons telefoniese gesprek daarna, die term verstaan het.

Volgens die webwerf se inligting is dit duidelik dat jy 'n oornag kamer bespreek het, en nie een van die eenhede met 'n kitchenette of kombuis is nie. Die beskrywing vir die kamer is is ook duidelik. Ook dat, ten spyte van my verduideliking aan jou oor presies hoe die kamer ingerig is en dat jou kamer elke dag gediens word, wat die was van jou skottelgoed insluit, jy nou daaroor ontevrede is.

Tydens jou 3 dae verblyf het jy nie een keer genoem dat daar probleem is met krag wat uitskop nie. Ek wonder hoe die krag weer aangesit is aangesien daar geen kragbord in die kamer is nie. Die skoonmaak dames het ook bevestig die kamer elke dag krag gehad het ten tye van die skoonmaak en diens.

In 20 jaar is daar nog nooit ingebreek op die perseel. Oor die langnaweek was daar nie minder as 5 voertuie geparkeer met geen probleme. Die inbraak is ook nie aan ons genoem of aangemeld by Clarens SAPD nie. Dit laat my ook met vrae oor die bakkie se alarm wat nie afgegaan het tydens die inbraak nie.

Dit is altyd jammer as daar na 3 dae se verblyf waarin daar geen probleem onder ons aandag gebring word so negatiewe skrywe ontvang word. Ons is altyd bereid om te help indien enige probleem onder ons aandag gebring word. Om meer as week later op die resensie blad te lees oor jou klagtes gee ons geen geleentheid om jou te help om lekker te slaap nie.

Groete,
Karen

Baie lekker maar net een of twee belangrike verbeterings wat aangebring kan word.

Ongelukkig was die twee enkelbeddens in die family unit se matrasse so sag dat ons op die vloer geslaap het. Ons het die bank se kussings gebruik. Die sagte beddens het ons nogals rugpyn gegee. Oor die algemeen baie lekker en fantastiese ligging.

Very nice but only one or two important improvements that could be made.

Unfortunately, the two single beds in the family unit's mattresses were so soft that we slept on the floor. We used the sofa's cushions. The soft beds gave us quite a backache. Overall very nice and fantastic location.

Die Cottage Pie familie-eenheid het ons stoutste verwagtinge oortref: dis ruim, netjies en goed ingerig met 'n pragtige groot "English Garden" teenaan die natuurreservaat, naby staproetes vir stap/ draf/ fietsry!

Ons sal ons verblyf by Cottage Pie familie-eenheid (Desember 2016) altyd onthou. Ons het heerlik ontspan en het die staproetes in die aangrensende natuurreservaat terdeë geniet. Die eenheid is gemeubileer met pragtige houtmeubels, het 'n lieflike goed ingerigte kombuis, selfs 'n lees-vertrek waar jy net heeldag kan ontspan as die weer dalk guur is, 'n gesellige buite-stoep, slaapkamers met die heerlikste vars linne en ruim pakplek. Die lieflike tuin is absolute plesier. Ons eenheid is daagliks gediens.

The Cottage Pie family unit exceeded our wildest dreams: it is spacious, neat and well equipped with a beautiful large English Garden next to the nature reserve and close to routes for walking, jogging and cycling!

We will remember our stay at Cottage Pie's family unit in December 2016 forever. We had a lovely relaxing time and tremendously enjoyed the walking trails in the next-door nature reserve. The unit is furnished with gorgeous wooden furniture, has a lovely well equipped kitchen, even a reading room where you can just relax the whole day when the weather doesn't play along, a cosy outdoor patio, bedrooms with the loveliest fresh linen, and lots of packing space. The gorgeous garden is an absolute pleasure. Our unit was serviced daily.

We are a family of six adults who travelled down to Clarens for the 2016 beerfest. The location, right up against the golden rocks of the mountain, is absolutely stunning. The accommodation is perfect with the best bed linen ever. Once your head hit that pillow you were away with the fairies. Would definitely recommend and use in the future.

So stil jy kan jou eie hart hoor klop!

Dit was 'n heerlike ontspanne naweek, ver van die stad se geraas! Die houtkothuis is regtig in die bos en teen die berg - heerlik koel en bangmaak-stil in die aand! Storthokkie bietjie aan die klein kant maar die onmiddellike warm water was 'n wenner en alhoewel ons 'n baie stewiger matras verkies, het ons die eerste oggend amper om geslaap - danksy die stilte en die koelte! Met dit wat ek weet sal ek beslis weer daar bly op die volgende geleentheid!

So quiet you can hear your own heart beating!

It was a lovely relaxing weekend, far from the city's noise! The log cabin is really in the woods and up the mountain - wonderfully cool and eerily quiet in the evening! Shower cubicle a little on the small side but the instant hot water was a winner and although we would have preferred a much firmer mattress, we almost fell asleep the first morning - thanks to the silence and the coolness! Knowing that I will definitely stay there again on the next occasion!

Brilliant setting: tranquil, rejuvenating, quiet and simply delightful.

A rejuvenating setting at the foothills of the mountain with access to great hiking trails, and close enough to the lovely town square. The birds chirped with delight, the wind blew with tranquility, and the silence was welcome. Brilliant and enjoyable.

Ons het ongelooflik lekker gebly!

Die ontvangs na 'n warm dag se stap in die Drakensberge was uitstekend. Die verblyf was baie skoon en die omgewing stel 'n mens sommer dadelik in 'n rustige en ontspanne gemoed. Ook die kranse net agter die kothuis laat mens na aan die natuur voel. Sal beslis weer van Cottage Pie gebruik maak.

We had an incredibly nice stay!

The reception after a hot day's walk in the Drakensberg was excellent. The accommodation was very clean and the environment immediately puts you in a calm and relaxed mood. Also the cliffs just behind the cottage make you feel close to nature. Will definitely use Cottage Pie again.

It was a lovely and relaxing holiday with a friend and my dog. Karen was very hospitable and made our stay a pleasure.

Cottage Pie is located close to hiking trails and not too far from the town square. The facilities were kept clean and the stay was such a pleasure. Karen was also very good at pointing out places one could go to on a day to day basis!

Ons het dit perfek gevind vir ons doeleindes.

En dis asemrowend mooi, veral die voetslaan-roetes! Die eienares het ons bygestaan met enige iets waarvoor ons gevra het en sy het dit op so 'n manier gedoen dat ons gevoel het ons is welkom en dat ons nie haar pla nie. Sy was dadelik daar om ons te help en sy het die ekstra myl gegaan vir ons. Baie dankie Karen. Met baie liefde groete.

And it's breathtakingly beautiful, especially the hiking trails!

She was immediately there to help us and she went the extra mile for us. Thank you very much Karen. With much love greetings.

Fantastiese omgewing maar geraas van boonste kamer is 'n steuring.

Fantastiese, stil omgewing met groot bome en baie voëls. Ons hondjie het saamgegaan en kon vrylik en veilig rondbeweeg. Die beddegoed was skoon en netjies wat altyd baie belangrik is. Die eenheid is baie basies maar die grootste probleem was die mense bo wat baie rondbeweeg het met die babatjie op die plankvloer. Karen was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam met gereelde kommunikasie.

Great surroundings but noise from upstairs room is a disturbance.

Fantastic, quiet setting with big trees and lots of birds. Our puppy went along and was able to move around freely and safely. The bedding was clean and tidy which is always very important. The unit is very basic but the biggest problem was the people upstairs who moved around a lot with the baby on the wooden floor. Karen was very friendly and helpful with regular communication.

'n Gemiddelde verblyf

Dit was my lewensmaat se eerste ondervinding van Clarens, dus was die verblyf wat ek bespreek het vir my baie belangrik. My kinders het ook deurgery om die tyd saam met ons te spandeer en dit het beslis ook bygedra tot hoe ons ons verblyf sou ervaar. Ek was egter redelik teleurgesteld. Vanselfsprekend kan die tuin nie lyk soos op die webtuiste nie (dit is immers winter) maar die kamers self het regtig nie dieselfde gelyk soos op die foto's nie. Dit het effens slordig gevoel. Beddens was vir ons almal nogal 'n probleem want hulle is hard! Dankie vir die koffie maar dis jammer dat ons nie melk gekry het vir dit nie. Ek kan net weereens beklemtoon dat Karen uiters aangenaam is en moeite gedoen het om ons te verwelkom. Dit was lekker om haar te ontmoet.

An average stay

It was my partner's first experience of Clarens, so the accommodation I booked was very important to me. My children also drove through to spend the time with us and this certainly also contributed to how we would experience our stay. I was pretty disappointed though. Obviously the garden can't look like it does on the website (it's winter after all) but the rooms themselves really didn't look the same as in the photos. It felt a little sloppy. Beds were quite a problem for all of us because they are hard! Thanks for the coffee but it's a shame we didn't get milk for it. I can only emphasize again that Karen is extremely pleasant and made an effort to welcome us. It was nice to meet her.

Sleg

Ek moes in die eerste twee kategorieë (Waarde vir geld en Kliëntediens) 'n gradering gee, maar die webtuiste laat nie 0 sterre toe nie. Maar glo my, die plek verdien minder as 0 sterre in daardie kategorieë. Vir 'n begin is die prentjie glad nie wat ons gekry het nie. Ons het in 'n houthuisie geslaap. Ek het reeds e-posse en foto's oor die nare ondervinding geskryf en gestuur.

Bad

I had to give a rating in the first two categories (Value for money and Customer service) but the website does not allow 0 stars. But trust me, the place deserves less than 0 stars in those categories. For a start, the picture is not at all what we got. We slept in a log cabin. I have already written and sent emails and photos about the nasty experience.

Heerlike knus blyplek met mooiste natuurskoon, wat 'n spruitjie insluit.

Ons is 'n gesin van 5 volwassenes wat vir 'n naweek weg was. Ons het die spesiale ontbyt Sondagoggend baie geniet. Eienaars is baie vriendelik en stap beslis ekstra myle om die verblyf so aangenaam moontlik te maak. Ons kon ook Saterdagaand in die tuin braai. Ons sal beslis die plek aanbeveel aan ons vriende.

Lovely cozy place to stay with the most beautiful scenery, which includes a little stream.

We are a family of 5 adults who were away for a weekend. We really enjoyed the special breakfast on Sunday morning. Owners are very friendly and definitely go the extra mile to make the stay as pleasant as possible. We could also barbecue in the garden on Saturday evening. We will definitely recommend the place to our friends.

Baie lekker gekuier in Clarens by Cottage Pie, goeie diens en asemrowende uitkyk op die stroompie en berge!

Goeie en vriendelike diens ontvang. Eerste aand was ons in die houthuisie by die stroom wat lieflik was, van die tweede aand af was ons in die B&B waar die bed minder gemaklik was en ons nie 'n kombuisie gehad het nie. Maar dit was steeds lekker!

Rustig en naby aan die natuur.

Ons kon eers 13:00 inboek en was baie verras oor al die toeriste en winkeltjies. So het ons gestap en geshop en toe lekker gaan rus. Die bergroetes vroegoggend baie maklik en sielverkwikkend.

We were only able to check in at 13:00 and were very surprised by all the tourists and shops. So we walked and shopped and then went to rest. The mountain routes early in the morning very easy and soul-invigorating.
