Fantastiese plek.

Baie lekker plek, ruim en veilig. Goeie ligging en 'n mooi uitkyk op die berge, veral in die oggende se sonopkoms.

Heerlik rustig en smaakvol toegeruste akkommodasie.

Die heerlike kuierstoep met die pragtige uitsig was net wat ons nodig gehad het vir 'n heerlike gesinskuier en braai. Die wooneenhede is uiters smaakvol en volledig, met alles wat jy nodig het, toegerus. Die kleurvolle skilderye deur die eienares maak dit nog meer spesiaal. Lekker naby aan die buzz van die dorpie maar ver genoeg sodat mens rustig kan ontspan. Ons kom vir seker weer. Volgende keer hopelik langer.

Wonderfully peaceful and tastefully furnished accommodation.

The lovely patio with the beautiful view was just what we needed for a lovely family visit and barbecue. The residential units are extremely tasteful and fully equipped, with everything you need. The colorful paintings by the owner make it even more special. Nicely close to the buzz of the village but far enough so that you can relax peacefully. We will come again for sure. Next time hopefully longer.

Ons het 'n aangename verblyf vir een nag geniet.

Die eenheid is gerieflik vir 'n kort verblyf. Dis netjies en skoon. Daar was 'n probleem met die voordeur wat nie kon sluit nie. Die eienaar het belowe om dit te laat regmaak. Die uitsigte is pragtig na Golden Gate se kant. Naby aan die middedorp.

We enjoyed our time at Feathers. Walking distance to the town and comfortable accommodation.

The electric blanket on the bed was a treat when the evenings got cold. Due to loadshedding, there was no water but once power returned we had water again. This should be highlighted or a note placed clearly in the bathroom so one does not think there is a problem and that water/pump will work once power is restored.

Die huisie was baie mooi skoon en baie sentraal geleë.

Die voordeur se slot werk nie mooi nie en jy sukkel om die deur te sluit. Die hek word heeltyd bietjie oopgemaak wat 'n veiligheidsrisiko is.

I highly recommend this accommodation. The facilities are great, cozy and within walking distance from the town center. Excellent views towards the mountains and over the valley - even saw the hot air balloon. The service and arrangements from the owner was absolutely outstanding! I highly recommend this accommodation unit and will certainly return some time in future!

Peaceful accommodation close to main town with lovely large garden for my dog to explore.

Beautiful accommodation in a peaceful setting just a short walk to the town hub. Also loved the luxurious, thick towels! Luckily the neighbour's dogs were friendly as the garden is shared between 2 cottages. Just a few snags to be aware of: Geyser and fridge were off on arrival as was the WiFi plug/connection. Toaster has to be held down for it to work. Thanks for a lovely weekend!

Heerlik gekuier

Dit was ons eerste maar beslis nie die laaste kuier hier nie ! Ons het in Barbet's Hollow gebly, dis die oulikste knus huisie maar tog lekker ruim veral die slaapkamers en badkamer. Die badkamer het selfs n verwarmer lig en die kamers elektriese komberse en paneelverwarmers. Die huisie het 'n lekker kuier stoep met die mooiste uitsig oor die berge, veral die sonsopkoms was asemrowend mooi! Lekker naby aan al die doendinge in die dorpie en so 17 km vanaf die Golden Gate park wat 'n moet is. Ek wil teruggaan! Die huisie is volledig toegerus met alles wat nodig is, selfs DStv en WiFi.

Had a great time

It was our first but certainly not the last visit here! We stayed in Barbet's Hollow, it's the cutest cozy house but still nice and spacious, especially the bedrooms and bathroom. The bathroom even has a heater light and the rooms electric blankets and panel heaters. The house has a nice veranda with the most beautiful view of the mountains, especially the sunrise was breathtakingly beautiful! Nice close to all the activities in the village and about 17 km from the Golden Gate park which is a must. I want to go back! The cottage is fully equipped with everything you need, even DStv and WiFi.

Perfect base for a Clarens stay.

We stayed in the very comfortable Barbet's Hollow Cottage during a recent visit to Clarens. It is perfectly situated in the town and the large garden provides for a relaxed stay along with enjoying the birdlife. A view of the mountains is a bonus as well. The cottage is clean and comfortable and equipped with all that one would need.

A cute cottage, well located but in need of supervision and repairs to the building.

My message that I sent to the owner, Jill, to which she has not yet responded: We stayed at Feathers in The Barbet's Hollow cottage over the weekend, I think you might be unaware of the following. The cottage was probably cleaned the last time it was occupied and never freshened up before our arrival because there were numerous cob webs and spiders roaming around when we arrived on Friday. The cottage was not clean. A broom would have been handy to sweep the entrance clean. There are also serious structural defects that urgently need your attention. We did not have WiFi or TV reception either. We loved the tranquil setting and the view; and I would easily promote Barbet's Hollow if these issues are resolved.

Die huis is vervalle en gekraak. Gras is lank en tuin glad nie versorg.

Ek sal niemand aanraai om daar te bespreek nie. Ek het nou geleer ek bly eerder tuis as om net enige verblyf te boek. Die mure was gekraak en die pleister het sommer so stuk-stuk afgeval. Die gas was leeg so daar was geen warm water nie. Die ligging is ook nie baie gerieflik nie, net-net te ver om te stap. My skoonma het 'n knievervanging gehad en kan nie ver stap nie. Die kamer met 2 enkelbedjies het verskriklik stink na katpiepie, maar dit het deur die kraak in die kamer ingekom.

The house is dilapidated and cracked. Grass is long and garden not cared for at all.

I would not advise anyone to book there. I have now learned that I would rather stay at home than book just any accommodation. The walls were cracked and the plaster was just falling off piece by piece. The gas was empty so there was no hot water. The location is also not very convenient, just too far to walk. My mother-in-law had a knee replacement and can't walk far. The room with 2 single beds smelled terribly of cat pee, but it came into the room through the crack.

Wonderful views of the mountains. Walking distance to the town center and walking trails. Clean and tidy.

Robins Nest was clean an tidy. Incredible value for money and well worth the stay. I will certainly be booking the venue again. There was a massive thunderstorm with very strong winds which revealed a leak down the chimney of the fireplace but nothing to serious, when the rain was lighter the leak stopped. The views from the patio were awesome and the location to the hiking trails and town center were perfect for us.

Netjies, skoon, mooi uitsig oor berge, huisie is baie netjies binne. Ons kon selfs ons geliefde hondjies saam vat.

Ons het heerlik gebly en geslaap by Feathers. Enigste voorstel wat ons het is dat daar 'n kleiner area toegespan moet word vir die hondjies, aangesien die klein hondjies deur die palesades kan pas en ontsnap na die bure toe. Beddegoed en handdoeke was silwerskoon en het lekker geruik. Beddegoed is lekker sag en matrasse baie gemaklik.

Neat, clean, nice view of mountains, house is very tidy inside. We were even able to take our beloved puppies with us.

We had a great stay and slept at Feathers. Only suggestion we have is that a smaller area should be fenced off for the puppies, as the little dogs can fit through the fences and escape to the neighbors. Bed linen and towels were spotless and smelled good. Bedding is nice and soft and mattresses very comfortable.
