Privaat, na aan die natuur. Pragtig.

Dit was 'n heerlike naweek. Genoeg vars lug en wonderskone natuur om terug te neem huis toe.

Heerlik gerus en die natuurskoon geniet.

Die eenheid was netjies en skoon en privaat, die bergreeks kan van uit elke vertrek besigtig word. Foto's kan nie die natuurskoon uitbeeld, dit is werklik pragtig. Die staproetes kan met graagte aangepak word, grotte en 'n rivier is deel van die staproete. Die gasheer en gasvrou is aangenaam en behulpsaam. Sekuriteit is goed, hulle probeer om dit so veilig moontlik vir die gaste te maak.

Relax and enjoy the natural beauty.

The unit was neat and clean and private, the mountain range can be viewed from every room. Photos cannot depict the scenery, it is truly beautiful. The hiking trails can be tackled with pleasure, caves and a river are part of the hiking trail. The host and hostess are pleasant and helpful. Security is good, they try to make it as safe as possible for the guests.

Baie rustig en vredevol.

Ons het dit baie geniet om hierdie te bly vir bly vir die naweek. Die eienaar is gereed om te help waar hy kan wanneer jy vra. Die plek is regtig op 'n baie mooi area geleë met 'n baie uitdagende staproete, wat ek ook vir enige iemand sal aanbeveel. Die op en af ry was nie so lekker gewees nie, want die grondpad is nie rustig nie. 'n Lae stadskar of selfs familiekar gaan die grondpad op sekere dele baie moeilik vind, maar die grondpad is die moeite werd om te ry vir waar die plekkie geleë is.

Very calm and peaceful.

We really enjoyed staying here for the weekend. The owner is ready to help where he can when you ask. The place is really located in a very beautiful area with a very challenging hiking trail, which I would also recommend to anyone. The up and down drive was not so fun, because the dirt road is not peaceful. A small city car or even a family car will find the dirt road very difficult in certain parts, but the dirt road is worth driving for where the place is located.

The peace and quiet makes for a relaxing stay. Unwind and soak in the beautiful surroundings.

On arrival, we were greeted by our friendly hosts, who with a walk through the unit explained all that was needed to know about the unit which is totally off the grid. We had ample hot water, even though the geyser is solar-powered. There are a few hiking trails that we will be doing when we definitely go back there for a longer stay. Everything one needs to make your stay pleasant and comfortable is there. The host contacted me before my arrival with additional detailed directions, as well as giving a list of emergency numbers to contact if needed. Be advised that the gravel road is best suited for high vehicles such as SUVs or 4x4.

Baie mooi uitsig, pragtige staproete en vriendelik.

Oulike, snoesige plek. Daar kan beter opgelet word na klein goedjies wat sal sorg vir beter afronding soos bv. as dit vir aantal gaste is, dat daar koppies en glase is as almal gelyk benodig. Ons hou van warm stort en dit was lou op warmste. Sal net nie werk in die winter nie, mens sal vries as meer as een moet stort. Selfsorg sluit ook self skoonmaak in, daar word nie daagliks versorg soos skottelgoed of skoonmaak van braai of kaggel nie.

Very nice view, beautiful walking route and friendly.

Cute, cozy place. Better attention can be paid to small things that will ensure a better finish such as e.g. if it is for number of guests, that there are cups and glasses if everyone needs them equally. We like hot showers and it was lukewarm at hottest. Just won't work in the winter, one will freeze if more than one has to take a shower. Self-care also includes self-cleaning, there is no daily care such as dishes or cleaning of the barbecue or fireplace.

Magical, cozy, friendly hosts, quiet, and will absolutely stay there again.

We were welcomed by beautiful scenery and a very friendly host. The drive to and from the guesthouse is extremely beautiful. It's not too far outside Clarens' main streets and restaurants, but just far enough to feel secluded from people. There is a few stunning scenic routes to hike, short or long. A plus is that the hosts' dogs guide you. They are so adorable. I would recommend this to anyone.

Pragtige uitsig oor berge met stilte, heerlik gestap en baie vriendelike en behulpsame gashere.

Die braaistoep met groot glasdeure en -vensters maak dit moontlik om in enige weer die pragtige uitsig oor die berge te kan geniet. Baie skoon en netjies en goed toegerus met alles wat mens nodig het. Na die abnormaal baie reën in Desember 2021 was die 5,5 km-grondpad op plekke onbegaanbaar vir 'n normale voertuig. Die eienaars maak dit pertinent duidelik op hulle eie webtuiste dat 'n 4x4 nodig is indien dit baie sou reën. Die voordeel van die baie reën was dat ons pragtige watervalle gesien het op die staproete.

Beautiful view of mountains with silence, wonderful walks and very friendly and helpful hosts.

The barbecue patio with large glass doors and windows makes it possible to enjoy the beautiful view of the mountains in any weather. Very clean and tidy and well equipped with everything you need. After the abnormal amount of rain in December 2021, the 5.5 km dirt road was in places impassable for a normal vehicle. The owners make it pertinently clear on their own website that a 4x4 is necessary if it rains a lot. The advantage of the lot of rain was that we saw beautiful waterfalls on the hiking trail.

Prentjie mooi

Die groot wow-factor van Domaine is sy ligging. Dit is asemrowend mooi reg rondom die huisie. Die staproetes het berge en valleie en strome en watervalle en en en en. die huis is baie goed ingerig. Slaapplek vir 6 mense, genoeg kombuis toerusting vir enige behoefte en die stoep met ingeboude braai was waar ons meeste van die binne tyd spandeer het. Alles was ook skoon en netjies. Die eienaars, Huy en Betty was amazing. Baie vriendelik en nederige, liefdevolle mense.

Domaine Sérénité was a magical surprise. The accommodation was tastefully furnished, very cozy and spotless on arrival, while the views from the cottage were second to none. We also highly recommend the hiking trial to the waterfall and cascades, which is both exciting and picturesque. It was also a treat to have the two resident dogs guide us every step of the way on the hike. Other highlights include swimming in the self-sustaining pool, magnificent sunsets and the friendly hosts, Betty and Huy.

Die gastehuis is op ¦n plaas 12 km buite Clarens, die natuurskoon is pragtig en in die aand sien mens Clarens se liggies. Daar is staproetes wat na die pragtige bergreeks lei.

Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic!

Such a beautiful place to visit! We had a wonderful stay at Domaine Sérénité. It's close enough to Johannesburg for a quick and quiet weekend break. The owners were more than helpful, making sure all our needs were catered to. They also gave great advice on things to do and sights to see in the surrounding area. The housing was plain, simple and more than enough. It was a treat to relax with absolutely no interruptions (we decided to abandon all forms of technology for the weekend) and just look at the mountains, listen to the wind and have a good cup of coffee! We will definitely be back!

Spacious, clean and tidy accommodation with hospitality!

We were received with such hospitality and shown around. The units are spacious, very neat and clean and fully equipped for self-catering with a braai area and fireplace, surrounded by mountains, but only a 15-minute drive from Clarens. We will definitely stay there again in the future.

This was honestly the best thing we could have done for our Easter Weekend getaway! I highly recommend it!

Thank you so much to Huy and Betty for an unbelievable stay. We look forward to supporting them every chance we get. The scenery is amazing, the living units are everything you need and the personal touch on the creature comforts are out of this world. I would highly recommend staying here and look forward to many more trips to Clarens and this wonderful treasure!

Had a fabulous relaxed stay.

Thanks for the warm hospitality that you have shown throughout out stay. The Loft has some of the most amazing views and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Domaine Sérénité. Living 100% off-grid was a great experience and is definitely the way to go. We will see you in the future for more breathtaking views and accommodation. Thank you.

Absoluut cosy!

Die verblyf is uitstekend, baie netjies en skoon. Lekker leefarea binne en buite, baie oulik uitgelê. Die spiraal trap na die bo-vertrek se slaapkamer is nou, maar dit is steeds maklik gangbaar.

Absolutely cosy!

The accommodation is excellent, very tidy and clean. Nice living area, inside and outside, had a nice layout. The spiral staircase to the upper bedroom is tight but it is still easy to use.

Wonderful hosts, amazing views, so much peace and quiet in the mountains!

We had such an amazing weekend at Domaine Sérénité. The hosts, Betty and Huy were so friendly and welcoming. We just couldn't get enough of the beautiful view. The accommodation is neat and cosy with enough windows to take in the view from each room. The accommodation is close enough to Clarens for a quick visit but far enough out of town to have piece and quite. We will definitely visit again!

Verblyf was ongelooflik lekker.

Die omgewing is rustig en stil. Baie lekker om te gaan stap. Dit was net in die begin baie moeilik om te vind, omrede daar nie regtig bordjies is nie. Ons het baie lekker gebly.

Heerlik gekuier. Ongelooflike uitsig en stap roetes. Twee vriendelike honde wat by ons gekuier het. Huy en Betty so vriendelik en behulpsaam. Baie geleer van die eko-vriendelike plaas. Sal dit sterk aanbeveel vir natuurliefhebbers.

Amazing views, quiet and just what you need to rest body and soul!

We had a lovely stay and were sad that it was so short. The fireplace kept us cosy in the cold and everything is so very neat! Small details make you feel like you are at a home away from home. Betty and Huy are wonderful hosts and we would love to meet Betty and see their wonderful garden on our next visit. We are amazed at what they have accomplished! Just note that the access road is problematic for low cars, but we managed to get there without any harm with a very low Lancer. Ask about the condition of the road if worried, Huy was very helpful. Would definitely recommend this for those not wanting the rush but the peace and quiet of the Clarens surrounds.

Het nie voldoen aan verwagtinge nie.

Die pad na die verblyf is nie gemaak vir gewone voertuie nie. 'n Groter voertuig sal baie meer gepas wees. Warm water was nie onmiddellik beskikbaar vir gebruik nie. Ons moes eers bel sodat die probleem opgelos kon word i.p.v. dat dit reggemaak was vir ons koms. Toe ons die Saterdag van ons dag in Clarens af terugkom was ons eenheid nie opgeruim nie. Niks was gewas of opgemaak nie. Toe ons die skottelgoedwasser wou gebruik was dit ook nie in 'n werkende toestand nie. Die eenheid was oortrek met miere. Ons sal ongelukkig nooit weer van die verblyf gebruik gemaak nie en sal dit ook nooit aan iemand kan voorstel nie.

Did not meet expectations.

The road to the accommodation is not made for ordinary vehicles. A larger vehicle would be much more appropriate. Hot water was not immediately available for use. We had to call first so that the problem could be solved instead of that it was prepared for our coming. When we returned from our day in Clarens on Saturday, our unit was not tidied up. Nothing was washed or made up. When we wanted to use the dishwasher it was also not in working order. The unit was covered in ants. Unfortunately, we will never use the accommodation again and will never be able to recommend it to anyone.

Ons gashere, Huy en Bettie het ons van aankoms af, tuis laat voel. Cottage Goji, is perfek geleë, met die mooiste uitsig. Baie netjies en skoon. Baie gerieflik en lekker om in te bly. Sal beslis weer daar kuier.

Dit was werklik lekker, soos wat ons graag wou hê.

Die plekkie was presies wat ons in gedagte gehad het. Nie jou standaard verblyf. Eskom onhafhanklik in die middel van nêrens! Kon lekker stap selfs op die plaas en die gasheer was werklik vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Ongelooflik rustig met die mooiste uitsig.

Die gastehuis is baie netjies en die ligging is fantasties. Die uitsig is asemrowend en die Huy en Betty is baie vriendelik. Die trappe by Studio Cubique is bietjie nou, maar die ander eenheid is baie ruim. Vir seker die moeite werd.

Die beste plek vir sielerus en ontspanning!

Ek en my man het 'n plekkie gesoek waar ons vir so twee nagte kon gaan afskakel en batterye herlaai. Dit is presies wat ons by Domaine Serenite gekry het! Die gashere, Betty en Huy, is twee dierbare mense wat hard gewerk het om die plaas te kry waar dit is en die studio goed in te rig. Ons het heerlik gebly en geen klagtes gehad nie! Die uitsig is pragtig, die atmosfeer is rustig, en mens voel een met die natuur. Ons kon maklik tot in Clarens kom indien ons wou (as mens eers die rustigheid van die plaas beleef is jy nie werklik lus vir die besige strate van die dorpie nie), het lekker tussen hangkranse en valleie gaan stap en verder gelees en gerus. Ek sal dit beslis aanbeveel vir enigeen wat net wil wegkom en gaan rus!

The best place for soul's rest and relaxation!

My husband and I were looking for a place where we could just get away from it all for two nights and recharge our batteries. It is exactly what we found at Domaine Serenite! The hosts, Betty and Huy, are two adorable people who worked hard to get the farm where it is and equip the studio well. We had a lovely stay and have no complaints! The view is beautiful, the atmosphere peaceful and you feel at one with nature. We could easily get to Clarens if we wanted to (if you have experienced the peacefulness of the farm once, then you aren't really in the mood for the busy streets of the town), went for nice walks between the overhanging cliffs and in the valley and furthermore we just read and rested. I will definitely recommend it to anyone that just wants to get away and rest!
