Jovali

Transquility, glamour class and breathtaking views.

Within 7 minutes from town, but over the hill away from town that you can hit two birds with one stone. You can have the beauty and tranquility of being alone overlooking the mountains and within 7 minutes be back in town in the buzz of Clarens or having a 5 star meal at Clementines or at Treat. Little extras in the room were special. Loved the birds in the morning. A 500 m walk down to the river is a romantic walk and great spot for picnic. Seeing the moon rise above the mountains at night is a treat as well and the sunrise.

Beautiful landscapes with a delightful experience at guest house.

Very warm and friendly host.

Must visit.

Wat meer kan ek sê as: uitmuntend, asemrowende uitsig, onvergeetlik en 'n besliste groot wow! Aan die gashere, jul "attention to detail" is onverbeterlik, mens voel sommer net tuis van die oomblik wat jy arriveer. Jovali is net die plek wat die siel nodig het! Well done op jul pragtige plek.

Beste verblyf in Clarens.

Beste slaapplek in Clarens, asemrowende uitsig, absolute stilte, geen moeite is ontsien om gaste gemaklik te maak nie. En dis net 5 km van al die lekker winkels en restaurante in Clarens.

Wow, wow, wow.

Absolutely fantastic - there is nothing to improve on!

Alles was puik.

Besondere vriendelike ontvangs. Puik toegerus met baie goeie aandag aan detail. Perfekte plek om rustig te wees. Net jammer die plek word nie gediens nie. Ook nie keuse gehad om daarvoor te vra of ekstra daarvoor te betaal nie.

Heerlik - baie dankie.

Pragtige uitsig met 'n lieflike tuin. Die eenheid is baie gerieflik, skoon en besonder netjies. Die heerlike eet- en drinkgoed was 'n aangename verrassing. Ons beveel Jovali sterk aan vir iemand wat naby aan Clarens wil wees, maar stilte en vrede bo die bedrywige dorpslewe verkies.

Perfekte rusplek vir 'n naweek.

Eienaars ongelooflik professioneel. Hulle gee baie aandag aan detail. Die plekkie is baie skoon en netjies en smaakvol, tog gemaklik toegerus. Die uitsig is asemrowend and dis baie stil en rustig as jy net wil ontspan en stres aflaai. Voordeel is dat dit baie naby die dorp Clarens is.

Pragtige plek, lieflike gashere en rustige omgewing. Net wat ons nodig gehad het om te herlaai.

Dankie Johan en span. Wat 'n klein paradys weg van die stadsgeraas. Ons sal beslis weer terugkom.

Skoon, netjies, aandag aan detail, vriendelike verwelkoming.

Uitsig pragtig, kwaliteitverblyf, ekstra moeite en aandag gedoen, geen moeite word ontsien om die verblyf aangenaam te maak nie, die plekkie sit ons op ons kortlys.

Pragtige plekkie in stilte in die natuur.

Baie goed en stylvol toegerus, vriendelik ontvangs met lekker bederfies. Ons het ons kort verblyf vreeslik geniet en sal definitief weer 'n draai daar maak. Baie dankie vir jul gasvryheid en voorstelle.

Hier kry jy sielsrus.

Jovali sal ons vir seker weer sien! Netjiese groot, stylvolle en goed toegeruste kamers laat mens sommer dadelik tot ruste kom. Die gasheer is vreeslik aangenaam en tegemoetkomend toe ons bietjie vroeër wou inboek. Jovali en sy uitsig is baie mooier as op die prentjies, bo-verwagting vir seker! Hier kan mens absoluut rus! Ons sal seker weer terug gaan en 'n hele klompie dae kan bly!

Uitstekend.

Watter voorreg was dit om by die pragtige juweel te kan oor slaap. Van die oomblik wat ons daar aan gekom het, tot en met ons vetrek het Johan en Tim uit hulle pad gegaan om ons te laat welkom voel. Alles in studio is daar wat jy benodig vir 'n wonderlike ervaring. Die uitsig is asemrowend. Baie dankie Johan en Tim vir hierdie wonderlike ervaring. Sal defnitief die plekkie aanbeveel, want julle passie vir julle gaste maak dit die moeite werd. Dankie Elmarie en Dewyk.

Rustige omgewing en baie netjies gemeubileerde plek.

Ons het ons verblyf van 2 dae daar baie geniet en die plek is baie netjies en ook keuring ingerig. Die rustigheid van die omgewing sal ons beslis terugbring na Jovali.

Rustig. Pragtige omgewing. Rus vir die siel.

Baie rustige atmosfeer.

Lieflik.

Sal vir seker weer hier tuisgaan. Lieflike, rustige omgewing en kamer en kombuisie pragtig en perfek toegerus.

Peaceful great for the soul.

Beautiful finishes great hospitality.

Stunning.

The most beautiful place that we have stayed at. Well organised. Fantastic gardens with the most spectacular view. Food for your soul.

Baie goed.

Baie lekker - baie dankie.

Baie lekker.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Die view was net so beautiful soos ons kamer. Johan het ons baie welkom laat voel. Alles was perfek.

Excellent gem just outside the busy town.

We had a lovely stay at Jovali and received a warm welcome from Johan. Beautiful view of the mountains from the room. The room and kitchen are tastefully furnished and decorated. Very close to Clarens itself but still far enough to enjoy the peacefulness of the area. Will recommend Jovali anytime!

Baie skoon en netjies. Vriendelike mense en perfek vir 'n Clarens-wegbreek.

Kamer was baie netjies en skoon. Goed toegerus met alles wat jy nodig gaan kry. Pragtige uitsig en staproete. Johan en Tim ontvang jou vriendelik en is baie behulpsaam, hulle help met restaurantbesprekings en gee 'n klomp aktiwiteite wat jy kan doen.

Baie mooi plek en goeie diens.

Ons het lekker daar gebly, underfloor heating was baie bekwaam.

Netjies, skoon en wonderlik.

Ons tyd by Jovali was sorgvry. Die natuur was beeldskoon. Die huisie was baie netjies en skoon. Kan nie wag om weer te gaan nie.

Gerieflik ingerig, pragtige eenhede en asemrowende natuur.

Jovali het al ons verwagtinge oortref! Die eenhede het enige iets wat 'n mens kan benodig en meer met 'n fantastiese uitsig oor die berge. Ons woefkind het die wandelpaadjies en oop ruimte baie geniet en ons sal definitief weer terugkom vir die rustigheid. Die eienaars is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam en al die klein bederfies soos die sherry en koeksusters is 'n ekstra bonus!

Asemrowend mooi en rustig.

Dit was 'n wonderlike naweek. Tannie Aukeline en haar man was baie vriendelik en gasvry. Die klein ekstras (beskuit, sjerrie en sjokolade) laat mens meer spesiaal voel. Sal definitief teruggaan.

Stunning view and surroundings.

The approach road at Jovali needs a bit of attention.

Vriendelik, mooi view. Love die plek.

Dit is 'n pragtige plek met 'n mooi uitsig, baie netjies mense is vriendelik Sal enige tyd teruggaan.

Just a sublime view with peace and quiet.

We regularly stay at very nice places. Every once in a while, though, you stumble upon a piece of sublime serenity - that is Jovali. Wonderful location, comfortable and the staff make sure one is happy. II intend to make use of Jovali again in the future.

Onbeskryflik mooi en baie rustig.

Die verblyf is baie netjies en skoon. Daar is 'n mooi roete om te stap af na die stroom toe. Baie veilig en die uitsig na die berge is baie mooi. Ons was baie vriendelik verwelkom en alles baie goed verduidelik. Maklik om te vind en baie naby aan die dorp. Sal enige tyd aanbeveel.

Baie aangenaam, rustig, gerieflik, gasvrye eienaars!

Baie dankie vir n lekker kuier. Ek hoop dat dit moontlik sal wees om in die toekoms weer daar te kan kuier.

Beautiful views and very clean unit.

We were welcomed with fresh koeksisters, sherry and some rusks. The unit was clean, the view was incredible and Clarens is about 5 - 10 minutes away (about a 1.5 km gravel road but nothing too serious). Thank you for the lovely stay, Aukeline.

Location in nature. The stream and the terrace is great.

Very nice and equipped rooms. Location in nature with terrace, lawn, near the stream. Owners older, very nice and helpful. They advise on everything.

Baie netjies en ongelooflik rustig.

Die eienaars is baie vriendelik en het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons welkom te laat voel en was baie behulpsaam. Die blyplek het baie mooi uitsigte en het al die benodighede.

Tranquillity with the perfect view.

Jovali is the perfect place to get away from your daily environment and just relax in nature. Very nice stay with everything needed. Good, friendly service.

Relax and enjoy the views.

Jovali was very well laid out and we thoroughly enjoyed the time there. Will definitely be back again.

Fantastic.

We had a great time there.

Baie lekker!

Ons het 'n wonderlike naweek by Jovali gehad. Ons is bederf met Sherry, koeksisters en beskuit. Sal dit enige tyd aanbeveel.

Was the most enjoyable weekend ever!

Very neat. Kindly received. View is very nice. You will see us again soon. Thank you very much!

So na aan die natuur en jou Hemelse Vader, verskietende sterre, jy moet daar tuisgaan!

Aukeline, dit was so lekker, so goed ingerig, netjies en met koeksisters in die yskas, hoeveel meer wil jy hê. Heerlikste beskuit, met melk in die yskas. As ek weer Clarens toe gaan sal ek vir seker weer daar gaan bly. So 'n mooi uitsig, stil, in die aand die mooiste lugruim en die verskietende sterre, ek het dit so lanklaas gesien. Een woord: awesome!

Very peaceful and private atmosphere surrounded by beautiful mountains and everything needed to make it convenient.

A few words to sum up our 4 days: quiet, beautiful views, underfloor heating, kitchenette equipped with everything you need and of very good quality, fresh flowers, rusks and koeksisters in the fridge, sherry and chocolate, quality bedding as well as kitchenware, hair dryer, nice towels and soap in the bathroom, undercover parking, everything needed for a nice braai (just bring your meat). And the snow on the mountain was the recipe for the delicious homemade rusks that our hostess sent. We will definitely stay at Jovali again. Ideal for a quiet getaway for 2 people. You can really just pack your clothes! Everything is provided. Dine in Clarens at all the great eateries.

Peace and quiet.

Everything neat and clean. The bed needs a new (sturdy) mattress. People who have had a back operation or the like cannot sleep on the bed. Everything else is fine and very clean and neat. Thank you. Cars with low profile tires should drive the path to Jovali very slowly.

Awesome.

The view is breathtaking. The reception was top notch. Hospitality was one of the best we have ever received. Well done, we will definitely visit again.

Very nice and clean.

The cottage was well situated on a small holding with nice walks to the river. The cottage was equipped with everything you need and very clean. We enjoyed our stay. I was relaxing.

Room with a beautiful view just outside Clarens.

We had a great stay at Jovali. The dead silence and scenery were exactly what we had in mind to forget about the rush of life. The kids enjoyed walking down the river and having a picnic. Remember to take drinking water if you want to sleep more than one night - the area's tap water can sometimes smell like sulphur. The rooms are neat and well-equipped. Even though the autumn wind was cool, the room was cosy and warm. A great experience!

Friendly welcome. Neat unit. Beautiful view.

See stars.

Ongelooflike mooi uitsig!

Goed toegeruste en netjiese verblyf met 'n asemrowende uitsig! Ons is heerlik bederf met sherry, koeksisters en beskuit! Sal beslis weer in die toekoms daar tuisgaan.

Heerlik.

Verblyf was baie aangenaam, rustig en gesellig.

Absolute heaven on earth!

Where do you start. The view is breathtaking! The house is very nice and clean! The uncle and aunt are so friendly, they are like real "grandparents"! They were so worried about our kids and my boy was absolutely crazy about them. Waking up with that view and sunrise every morning , feels as if one is a little closer to heaven. It's tranquil and so quiet in the evenings. The garden is a beautiful and nicely cared for. P.S. Thank you very much for my plants and seeds.

Ongelooflike mooi uitsig.

Regtig geniet, twee eenhede is langs mekaar en die stoep is dalk nie privaat genoeg nie. Die res het egter opgemaak daarvoor.

Skoon, stil en veilig.

Ons is vriendelik ontvang en kon rustig ontspan naby Clarens. Kamer is ruim en alles wat nodig was was daar. Skoon en rustige omgewing met heerlike stapplek en uitsigte. Baie dankie.

Wonderful.

Wonderful retreat just out of Clarens. The hostess is really gracious. We had a lovely two night stay. The sunrises and reflections off the mountains at sunset are magnificent!

Perfekte selfsorg-opsie vir 2 persone.

Die gasvryheid van die eienaars, die baie goeie toegeruste eenheid tesame met die fantastiese uitsig van die omgewing sorg vir werklike ontspanning. Die ligging is perfek om Clarens omgewing te besoek. Ons kan Jovali hoogs aanbeveel.

Beeldskoon en waarde vir geld.

Dit was baie lekker verblyf met al die nodige geriewe soos braai, gasstoof, ens. Baie goed geleë. Baie veilig. Baie stil. Fantasties vir rus. Het dit baie geniet. Sien graag weer.

Lovely, quiet with breathtaking views.

It was incredibly nice to stay over there and will definitely do it again.

It was breathtaking and so tranquil.

Best place that we have stayed at so far. Everything is beautiful and neat. The view in the morning is fantastic like a work of art. The tranquillity was very nice and the trails are something to see.

'n Pragtige wel ingerigte eenheid, perfek vir 'n romantiese of ontspanningswegbreek!

Jovali is altyd die moeite werd om te gaan besoek. Dis seker een van die mooiste plekke in ons land met die uitsig is dit net asemrowend. Ons kom elke jaar terug! Ons verkies die plaas en uitsig eerder as om in die dorp self te bly. Die eienaars is ook baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Sien julle weer volgende jaar.

Peaceful break for the haste of the city.

We had a lovely stay at Jovali. The house was very clean and neat. Nice sherry, rusks and koeksisters were available at arrival at Jovali. Braai facilities were also available and was only a stone's throw outside of town. The view from the porch was beautiful and makes you feel peaceful immediately. I will certainly visit Jovali again when I am in the Clarens area.

Om hier te bly is pure bederf.

Goed toegeruste eenheid met baie ekstras wat mens nie altyd verwag nie, soos die koeksisters in die yskas, sambrele, badkamerbenodigdhede, uitstekende kastrolle en bakke, en nog baie meer. Die uitsig is asemrowend en stappaadjies baie goed versorg. Ons sal weer hier kuier.

Wonderlike plek om te bly en te rus.

Jovali is goed gelëe in 'n pragtige omgewing buite Clarens wat werklikwaar naby alles is, maar tog ook die rustigheid van 'n plaas bied. Eienaars wonderlike mense wat jou uiters welkom laat voel. Werklik goeie basis om die omgewing te verken.

'n Heerlike wegbreektuiste.

As rustigheid en 'n mooi uitsig is waarna jy soek, is hierdie die plek vir jou.

Rustig, natuurskoon.

Was baie lekker. Kon rus en die natuur geniet. Lekker gekuier saam met Romeo die kat. Sal vir seker aanbeveel.

Awesome, perfekte, rustige wegbreeknaweek.

Wat 'n wonderlike naweek het ons gehad. Met ons aankoms Vrydagaand was ons kamer lekker warm (ondervloerse verhitting was klaar aan), sjerrie en sjokelade met aankoms en 'n ekstra bederfie in die yskas. Wat 'n lekker rustige, asemrowende uitsig oor die berge. Ons plekke was netjies, skoon met ekstra linne vir die koue nagte wat ons nie eens nodig gehad het nie. Ons sal beslis teruggaan. Baie dankie vir 'n lekker familiewegbreeknaweek.

One of the best guesthouses that we visited in the last 6 years.

Beautiful place, excellent lay-out, beautiful area and very helpful people. Piece of dirt road isn't a problem and the only thing that bothered us was the smell of the tap water but bottled water is provided.

Pragtige uitsig, lieflike mense.

Ek sal Jovali aanbeveel vir enige iemand wat net wil weg kom en rus! Die uitsig is n bonus die blyplek is netjies en so baie liefde is in die dekor in gesit! Ek en my lewensmaat gaan volgende jaar weer dit sal ons derde jaar wees en ek kan nie 'n beter plek imagine as Jovali nie.

Vrede en sielerus met ongelooflike uitsig, heerlike goed toegeruste en netjiese verblyf!

Ons het heerlik gebly. Goed toegeruste en netjiese verblyf en baie vriendelike en goeie diens ontvang. Lieflike uitsig en baie plek om te gaan stap en hope vars lug in te asem. Ons sal beslis weer by Jovali gaan bly.

Wonderlike verblyf tot in die puntjies versorg met fantastiese ligging.

Ons het 8 fantastiese dae by Jovali gehad. Onvoldoende tyd om te kon geniet, nie alleen weens fantastiese ligging met asemrowende uitsig vanuit ons bed, stoel en stoep nie, maar veral ook die persoonlike aandag van ons gasvrou en gasheer. Die heerlike tuisgebakte koeksisters by aankoms en daaglikse tuisgemaakte beskuit en vars blomme is treffers. Wat 'n heerlike tyd het ons nie gehad nie!

Gasvryheid en uitsig.

Lekker om te ontspan. Oulike wandelpaadjies. Gerieflike afstand van dorp.

Gerieflike, goed toegeruste verblyf met 'n asemrowende uitsig.

Jovali is 'n stylvolle selfsorgopsie vir reisigers wat hou van gerieflike uitspan in die natuur. Die eenheid is goed toegerus met 'n fokus op detail. Jovali bied 'n pragtige uitsig op die Malutiberge.

Superb accommodation in a beautiful area of South Africa.

Jovali is well equipped to cater for all your requirements. Everything is clean and we were able to use all the facilities. The house is located in a beautiful area of Clarens and even with my low German vehicle I had no issues on the short distance dirt road. The owners are the nicest people who really care about the well-being of their customers. The mattress on the bed just needs replacement though.

Fantastiese verblyf met 'n pragtige uitsig en seker die gemaklikste bed waarin ek nog geslaap het!

Jovali is akkommodasie van hoogstaande gehalte! Daar is baie aandag aan detail gegee in die kamer waarin ons gebly het! Baie interessante gebruiksitems wat dit laat uistaan bo jou tipiese gastehuis. Die meubels is van hoogstaande kwaliteit! Aukeline het ons gewaarsku oor die swael reuk in die water - blykbaar kan dit nog steeds veilig gebruik word deur mense. Dit het ons nie gepla nie aangesien ons ons eie water saamgevat het. Beide ek en my vrou het baie gemaklik geslaap op die heerlike bed! Seker die gemaklikste waarin ek nog ooit geslaap het.

Vrystaatse gasvryheid in 'n skilderagtige omgewing.

Jovali is naby Clarens wat dit maklik maak om gereeld deel te wees van die kunsdorpie se feestelike atmosfeer. Tog is dit heerlik om te ontsnap na die stilte van die skilderagtige omgewing. Die eenheid is modern, skoon en die tuin is pragtige versorg. Die eienaars is vriendelik en toeganklik. Ons het heerlik gebly!

Baie rustig

Ek en my man en 3-jarige was daar ongelukkig geen speelplek vir kinders nie maar sy het die vriendelike diere geniet.

Meer as wat ons verwag het!

Die wooneenheid is werklik pragtig ingerig. Dit was vir ons so lekker om soggens baie vroeg die gordyne oop te trek en vir die berge te lê en kyk! Ons het stilte en natuurskoon gesoek en dit by Jovali ondervind. Die nagte is doodstil. Ons kon ook lekker langs die rivier gaan stap en voëls kyk. Baie dankie John en Aukeline vir julle vriendelikheid en lekker geselsies. En dankie dat julle jul pragtige tuin en uitsig met ander deel.

Very satisfied. Quite. Clean. Beautiful accommodation.

We were very satisfied with our two day stay at Jovali. Close to Clarence but out of town away from the noise, just what we wanted. The view from the room overlooking the valley toward the mountains, very good. Excellent value.

Pretty and clean.

It was very nice and neat. The hosts were very thoughtful in leaving coffee/tea/rusks etc. and all necessary kitchen utensils are provided. I did not feel unsafe but there is no security on the farm, anyone can enter at any time and it is quite a rough gravel road. I would recommend changing the mattresses, they are very soft so you keep rolling towards the middle. But overall very nice and I would certainly recommend it.

Really nice stay, wish the gravel road was in better shape.

See the stars.

Accommodation is tasteful and well set out. It is in a very beautiful setting.

We had a lovely stay at Jovali. Everything in the luxury unit is well thought out and the furnishings are tastefully done. There are delicious rusks put out for guests as well as koeksisters and milk left in the fridge. There is also sherry set out as well. The underfloor heating is a big plus, so we were warm and cosy all weekend!

Ongelooflike wegbreek bestemming!

Jovali bied luukse verblyf met 'n prentjie mooi uitsig! Tannie Aukeline is baie gasvry en rond die eenheid af met soveel detail en sorg. Sjarmante Romeo loer ook graag in vir 'n bietjie aandag - ons het hom baie geniet!

Wonderful quiet getaway!

We enjoyed our 3 days at Jovali a lot! The place is quiet and the walking trails were perfect for us as a family with a one-year-old! Will recommend to everyone!

Incredible views in a cosy cottage.

Jovali was absolutely lovely. The self catering cottage has everything you would ever require on a weekend getaway. The kitchen has all the necessary utensils, the braai is stocked with charcoal and fire lighters and there are yummy rusks and koeksisters for your tea. The room itself is warm and cosy and heated blankets and under floor heating is provided which was a godsend in the middle of winter. Jovali is situated a couple of kms from Clarens itself and there is a short dirt road that needs to be navigated to get to there which was the only drawback. The views of the mountains are incredible and it is really lovely to be able to walk down to the river and enjoy a cup of tea surrounded by nature and no other people in sight. It really is a wonderful spot, great value for money and we would definitely be back.

Jovali is a gem!

Our 4 days in Jovali was so great! Apart from the most delicious rusks ever, the house is very luxurious and clean, with the most breathtaking view. Thank you Audeline and John for your hospitality. Would definitely return and have already referred many of our friends to you. Thank you!

Nice and tranquil atmosphere with everything that you need close to the town.

We had a friendly reception and the unit is like it was described and fully equipped. The tranquil farm atmosphere and quiet was good for the soul. Thank you Aukeline and John for you hospitality.

Die naweek was te kort!

Die diens was top gehalte! Ongelooflike mooi uitsig op die berge en die tuisgebakte beskuit was heerlik. Sal definitief teruggaan na Jovali en sal dit vir enige iemand aanbeveel. Alles is daar wat jy nodig het. Baie dankie Jovali en tannie Aukeline!

Asemrowende verblyf.

Ons het dit baie geniet by Jovali. Die plekkie is baie sjarmant met alles wat mens benodig en met die bonus van 'n asemrowende uitsig. Jovali is gerieflik geleë naby die dorpie Clarens en ander attraksies. Ons was ontvang met vriendelikheid en daar was 'n oorvloed van gasvryheid. Sal beslis weer daar bly.

Fantastic.

We will definitely go back to Jovali. Amazing view, peaceful and safe. Unit was very neat with a lot of detail. Very well equipped. Welcomed with a sherry and koeksister.

Couldn't ask for better.

It was one of my best experiences yet. Everything was just perfect.

Baie aangenaam.

Onderdak/Beskermende parkering sal hierdie 'n top-besoekplek maak. Die akkommodasie self en die diens is van baie hoogstaande gehalte.

Home away from home.

Jovali is perfect for a short getaway, perfect location overlooking the mountains and close to a river where you can have a nice picnic and relax. The friendliness and assistance from the owners make you feel welcome right from the get go. Not far from Clarens and other activities. Only thing to mention is that the last 80 m or so of the road is quite bad but drivable.

Our stay at Jovali was very pleasant.

Our stay at Jovali was so pleasant and relaxed, and the hospitality was amazing. It was so neat. The view was so beautiful and refreshing to the soul. The walk to the river was great exercise any time. We definitely recommend this place for a getaway out of the city.

This place meets your expectations.

Picturesque surroundings, as well as accommodation. Highly recommended to all who are looking for a place to relax at. Close enough to drive to and from restaurants in town. Covered parking would be a great help.
