Het ons kuiertjie geniet en sal definitief weer terug gaan.

Hierdie plekkie is 'n juweel in Clarens. Rustig en stil. The host is beskikbaar 24/7, en baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Het ons bederf met heerlike warm croissants, plaasbotter en konfyt. Baie dankie.

Lekker naweek in Clarens.

Die verblyf is mooi, skoon en netjies. Daar was so paar instandhoudingsprobleme: die handdoekrelings was los, die toiletsitplek was los en die TV se afstandbeheer se batterye was pap. Die verblyf is naby die hoofstraat wat hier en daar bietjie geraas veroorsaak, maar dit was vir ons nie 'n groot probleem nie.

Nice weekend in Clarens.

The accommodation is nice, clean and tidy. There were a few maintenance problems: the towel rails were loose, the toilet seat was loose and the TV's remote control batteries were dead. The accommodation is close to the main street which causes a bit of noise here and there, but it wasn't a big problem for us.

Dit was ons laaste stop na 4 weke se reis deur ons wonderlike land. Het twee aande oorgeslaap in By the Way Guesthouse, die suite was volledig toegerus met 'n kombuis. Die kamer was lekker ruim en groot. Die eienaar Amy het regtig baie moeite gedoen. Die vars kruie uit hulle eie tuin was ook spesiaal.

Clarens visit

The room was so beautiful! I just wanted to pack some of the paintings. Unfortunately it was too close to the main thoroughfare for us, but it was lovely to be within walking distance of everything!

Stunning eenhede.

Was 'n aangename verblyf. Die kamers is heerlik warm in die winter, al maak jy nie vuur nie. Ons het natuurlik vuur gemaak in die kaggel. Dit was cosy! Ontbyt was lekker. Miskien net alternatiewe ontbyt aanbied nie elke dag dieselfde nie. Sal beslis weer gaan.

Stunning units.

Was a pleasant stay. The rooms are wonderfully warm in winter, even if you don't make a fire. Of course we made a fire in the fireplace. It was cozy! Breakfast was nice. Maybe just offer alternative breakfasts not the same every day. Will definitely go again.

Wow!

Ek kan nogal regtig picky wees wanneer ek verblyf soek, lees eers almal se resensies voor ek besluit. By The Way het verseker my stoutste verwagtinge oortref. Dit was nat en koud in Clarens, ons kon 'n gesellige kaggelvuur met sjampanje geniet het. Die ontbyt was baie lekker. Die gasvrou is baie vriendelik en selfs haar skoonnmaakspan ook. Nee wat, verseker kry hulle 120 uit 100 by my.

Pragtige plekkie met besonderse diens.

By The Way Guesthouse het werklik uit hul pad gegaan om ons te akkommodeer. Amy se diens is tops! Die kamer word daagliks skoongemaak en almal is vriendelik. Mens voel sommer hoe al die stres verdwyn wanneer jy op jou balkon sit en oor die berge uitkyk. Ontbyt is ingesluit wat altyd 'n bonus is. Baie dankie vir die onvergeetlike ervaring!

By The Way Guesthouse really went out of their way to accommodate us. Amy's service is top notch! The room is cleaned daily and everyone is friendly. You just feel how all the stress disappears when you sit on your balcony and look out over the mountains. Breakfast is included which is always a bonus. Thank you very much for the unforgettable experience!

Ons was aangenaam verras deur 'n mooi ruim kamer en geen verkeersgeraas, alhoewel die gastehuis naby die hoofpad geleë is. Heerlike ontbyt en veilige parkering.

Kamers spieëlbeeld van foto's op webtuiste. Verfrissend skoon en netjies. Ons sal weer daar tuisgaan.

Meadow en Haze kamers is baie ruim en was pragtig skoon met 'n verfrissend reuk wat jou verwelkom het. Die kamers was goed toegerus vir selfsorg. Die kamers was daagliks gediens en was 'n welkome tuiskoms na 'n dag van besigtiging. Ontbyt elke dag was voortreflik en dan was daar ook 'n heerlike tuisgebakte brood om dit af te rond.

Meadow and Haze rooms are very spacious and were beautifully clean with a refreshing smell that welcomed you. The rooms were well-equipped for self-catering. The rooms were serviced daily and were a welcome homecoming after a day of sightseeing. Breakfast every day was excellent and then there was also a delicious home-baked bread to finish it off.

Dit was regtig puik, van die ontvangs tot die groet.

Regtig my verblyf baie geniet, die kamer is pragtig en smaakvol. Daar is vars melk wat altyd 'n bonus is. Nogal uitgekyk vir 'n beskuitjie wat nie daar was nie. Die enigste concern vir my was dat die WiFi nie baie goed was nie, en mens het elke keer 'n nuwe kode nodig as joune nie meer werk nie. en 'n ander kode vir elke device. Verder sal ek die plekkie vir almal aanbeveel.

It was really great, from the reception to the greeting.

Really enjoyed my stay, the room is beautiful and tasteful. There is fresh milk which is always a bonus. Kinda looked out for a biscuit that wasn't there. The only concern for me was that the WiFi was not very good, and you need a new code every time if yours no longer works. and a different code for each device. Furthermore, I would recommend the place to everyone.

Moet nie gemis word nie.

Die gastehuis is uitstekend! Die personeel is vriendelik, behulpsaam en laat jou tuis voel. Die kamers is baie goed uitgelê en dit voel soos 'n 5-ster-hotel. Hulle spesialiseer blykbaar in "breakfast in bed", maar ek dink hulle is dié spesialis wanneer dit daarby kom. Die kos is eerlikwaar die beste wat ek ooit by 'n gastehuis gehad het. Ek sal definitief weer by "By the way" gaan inloer wanneer ons in Clarens is.

Not to be missed.

The guesthouse is excellent! The staff are friendly, helpful and make you feel at home. The rooms are very well laid out and it feels like a 5 star hotel.

I will definitely stop by "By the way" again when we are in Clarens.

We would stay there again anytime!

Stunning room and delicious breakfast! We really enjoyed staying at By the Way, it is round the corner from all the activities in the square. Amy was a wonderful host and the breakfast was super delicious! Amy really puts in the effort to make you feel spoiled. The rooms are amazing and looked exactly like the pictures as advertised on the website. The setting was very peaceful and relaxed with a view of the mountains. I would recommend this guest house to anyone who wants to visit Clarens.

Stylvol, gemaklik, gerieflik, 'n kwaliteit ondervinding.

Amy mag dalk nog nuut wees maar sy weet wat 'n reisiger soek.

Had a relaxed weekend away.

Thanks Amy, the breakfast alone would make us return! Other than that, the stay was definately worth it. A great place to stay over away from the rush of life.

Was baie lekker.

Die ligging is dalk net te raserig maar darem net deur die dag. Geriewe binne die eenheid wat tot jou beskikking is, is alles die moeite werd. Amy het ons vinnig laat tuis voel en ons goed in gelig oor waar om te eet en wat om waar te doen. Dankie!

Was very nice.

The location might just be too noisy but at least only during the day. Amenities within the unit available to you are all worth it. Amy quickly made us feel at home and informed us well about where to eat and what to do where. Thank you!

Gerieflike verblyf met 'n heerlike ontbyt.

Die eenheid is te naby die straat en ongelukkig is dit 'n probleem as daar op die stoep gesit word. Verder het ons die verblyf geniet en sal die eenheid aanbeveel.

Comfortable accommodation with a delicious breakfast.

The unit is too close to the street and unfortunately it is a problem if you sit on the porch. Furthermore, we enjoyed the stay and would recommend the unit.

By the Way Guesthouse 's response

Thank you so much Kobie for your review, some of our new rooms which will be available from February will not have street and mountain views, next time you stay with us please ask for one of our garden suites. Kind regards and we hope to see you again!

Skoon en netjies.

Dekor pragtig. Hou van idee van ontbytkosmandjie. Ek reken as Amy klaar die veranderinge aangebring het kan sy iets omtrent die tuin doen. Die woon-eenhede is pragtig. Mal oor die dekor.

Clean and tidy.

Decor beautiful. Love breakfast food basket idea. I reckon when Amy finishes making the changes she can do something about the garden. The living units are beautiful. Love the decor.
