The breakfast was excellent. It was served outside in a lovely garden. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the hosts left milk, water, home made rusks. The location was easy to find and close to the center of Clarens. The hostess, Mercia, was extraordinarily gracious. We thoroughly enjoyed talking with her. Our stay there was the last night in S. Africa and my birthday and Mercia made it memorable!

Mt Horeb Manor has to be my favorite place to stay in South Africa. First of all it is in Clarendon, one of the cutest towns in South Africa. The location gave us spectacular mountain views from our deck. The rooms were beautifully furnished. The owner, Urshula, was very charming, friendly, and helpful. The included breakfast was wonderful. I highly recommend this guest house.

    It was by far in all our travels the most thoughtful put together guest house. There were so many little surprises like gold dusted brownies and OMW the rusks and coffee.. and the best bed and the best hosts. I was blown away. When we left the next morning we noticed that they had even washed our very dusty dirty car. Dont even get me started on the quietness and the stars. The best of the best. We will be back for sure. Nothing to fault.

    We had a lovely stay at Bella Rosa Cottage. The room was spacious, well decorated, and the bed was comfortable. The loadshedding preparations were useful. The quiet surroundings made for a very relaxing stay. There was undercover parking available for us. The location is incredible, less than a 5 minute drive from all the restaurants and shops in Clarens. We also enjoyed the breakfast very much. Michele is a great host, and we appreciated her kindness and all her efforts. We will definitely stay there again when we visit Clarens next.

    The room was exactly like in the photos. Squeaky clean, tastefully decorated, and with nice personal touches. It is situated off the main road, so no noisy cars. Loved the view of the mountain and the peace and quiet. We enjoyed the visits from the friendly kitties, too! The bed was very comfy, and everything we needed was provided. Madeleine was a great hostess, and we will definitely come stay again

    The gypsy wagon is an ideal guesthouse in Clarens. It's close to the city center, yet far enough to enjoy the peace and quiet. I will definitely stay there again when visiting Clarens. Sandy and Shane are excellent hosts.
