Lovely, comfortable home in a safe estate.

Great, very accommodating host. The house had everything and more than required. Such a lovely "kuier" home. That stoep is wonderful! We spent most of our time there. Very comfortable home with a great location and stunning view.

Thank you so much for your very kind words.
Thank you for the lovely condition that you left the property in.
We still have more improvements coming such as another very large indoor wood burning fireplace on the stoop, aircon, etc.
Have a wonderful week further.

Verseker een van die beste plekke waar ons al gebly het. Baie goeie diens ervaar.

Ongelooflike plek. Alles was baie netjies en mooi. Die gasheer was uit die boeke. Hy het van begin tot einde vir seker gemaak alles is in plek. Was regtig 'n onvergeetlike naweek.

Incredible place. Everything was very neat and beautiful. The host was off the books. He made sure everything was in place from start to finish. Was really an unforgettable weekend.

It was acceptable.

Would have liked some wood on arrival and the property outside is in a bit of neglect, otherwise all good.

Thank you so much for your feedback which we always take extremely seriously.
With regards to your comments, we did have temporary outside furniture for 1 week only as we waited for new furniture to arrive which was delayed, and we did notice a faded cushion which was not up to our standard.
We have our new furniture arriving this week which will be upholstered by an interior design company and will exceed expectations.
The wood we do not provide as with all Clarens properties I'm afraid, but is widely available in town at an affordable price.

Sonpanele sal 'n groot verbetering wees!

Wonderful view - pity about few trees right in front of porch!

We unfortunately were not there much however we have no complaints.

Our friends that joined us have never been to Clarens so unfortunately did not get to enjoy relaxing on the amazing varandah and chilling. We will be back and next time the stay will be longer.

Luuks, skoon en netjies.

Het 'n heerlike verblyf met uitgebreide familie gehad. Ons gasheer, Brian, was ongelooflik hulpvaardig en tegemoetkomend. Die huis is ideaal vir 'n gesin met tieners, en is perfek vir 'n naweek (of langer) kuier in Clarens.

A lovely venue with great potential but lacking a few essential touches.

The kitchen lacked important essentials. There was no salad spinner, essential knives (bread knife, pairing knife etc) we had to use steak knives for everything, no salad servers. A lack of serving bowls and dishes. The fridge is faulty and kept icing, it froze and destroyed our salad things (even after we turned it right down). There was no plug point for a hairdryer in front of the dressers in any of the rooms, this made blow drying our hair a real sport.

Baie nice plek binne in. Baie mooi view!

Kan dalk het bietjie aandag gee aan die ingang (netheid) nie geskik vir ou mense nie. My ouers 80 en 78 het bietjie gesukkel met die skerp afdraande by voordeur.

Very nice place inside. Very nice view!

Could maybe pay some attention to the entrance (cleanliness) not suitable for old people. My parents 80 and 78 struggled a bit with the steep descent at the front door.

Gerieflik en luuks.

Ons was drie paartjies en het heerlik gekuier. Die drie badkamers en skottelgoedwasser was ons grootste bederf.

Kombuis besonders met pragtige uitsig.

Ons het heerlik gekuier, dit is baie knus en klein, maar bied alles en wat van 'n groter plek. Plek is baie goed toegerus met TV's in al die kamers en leefarea met WiFi. Daar is 'n braaiplek en houtkaggel. Sal definitief weer daar bly.

Kitchen special with beautiful view.

We had a great time, it's very cozy and small, but offers everything and anything of a bigger place. Place is very well equipped with TVs in all the rooms and living area with WiFi. There is a braai area and wood stove. Will definitely stay there again.

Thank you so much for your kind words.
We do have approved plans to double this size of the house this year so will be adding a further bedroom, 2 additional bathrooms, doubling size of lounge and stoop so we are very excited about that.
Have great weekend.

Rochester lyk baie aanloklik op die advertensie, maar daar is baie tekorte.

Die eenheid kort 'n paar essensiële items - daar is geen badkamermatjies nie. Geen toilet spray nie. Die eenheid is ook nie goed skoongemaak nie. Dit is baie vuil onder die beddens! Daar is ook nie onderdakparkering vir jou motor nie.

Rochester looks very attractive on the ad, but there are many shortages.

The unit lacks a few essentials - there are no bathroom mats. No toilet spray. The unit was also not cleaned well. It is very dirty under the beds! There is also no covered parking for your car.

Goed geleë huis.

Baie netjiese plek wat goed geleë is op 'n landgoed met baie goeie sekuriteit. Die feit dat dit basies buite Clarens geleë is, het gehelp dat ons nie die geraas van die partytjiemakers hoef te verduur het nie.

Well located house.

Very neat place that is well located on an estate with very good security. The fact that it is located basically outside of Clarens helped that we didn't have to put up with the noise of the party goers.
