Clarens is a beautiful place.
We drove in circles looking for Cranford Chalets and with the help of a friendly lady found out that the name had changed back to Larola Chalets. A correction will have to be made on the Internet.

Larola Terraces 's response
Dear Cornelia. Thank you for booking with us and staying at number 38, and we are so glad that you enjoyed your time in Clarens - we are very blessed to live in such a beautiful part of SA, and love sharing it with our visitors.
Note is taken of your suggestion to change the name of our unit, but I would like to point out the following for anyone who might read this review. We always send out messages to guests with a location pin of where to collect the keys and where the unit is located - these are easy to follow, and then the guests have direct contact with me. Your booking confirmation came through very late, after numerous extentions, and you had not yet read any of the messages I had sent you minutes before. From what I could gather when you called me, you were already at the unit . It was just unfortunate, that in the haste of a last minute booking, you missed all of the information that was sent to you, which would have averted you "running around in circles", and you would have had my number to call me again for assistance, which I gladly would have given.
That said, I so glad that we have friendly locals who were able to point you in the right direction, and that you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to seeing you back in Clarens some time in the future. Best wishes Jane

Nice stay, clean and tidy. Comfortable enough for a long weekend stay.
My only regret was that the DSTV did not work. We are not big TV watchers, but it was so cold in the evening that we didn't sit for long at the places to visit, and it would have been nice to just watch some TV. Furthermore, everything was lovely, clean, tidy and well furnished! We had a great stay and will come back again.

Very nice place to stay for up to four adults. Easy to reach. Peaceful surroundings after a day walking around town. The braai facilities such as coal graphy, grill brush and most importantly, a meat tray for outdoor use. Thank you very much for a lovely few days of peace and quiet. Would definitely consider Cranford again for stays in Clarence.

The chalet was very neat and clean, and we immediately felt at home.
The managers of our chalet were very helpful and considerate. She gave us directions how to get there and she explained to us what we could expect from the chalet. Once there, we immediately relaxed and were surprised by the spaciousness of the chalet. At the back of the garden we could have a nice barbecue even though the weather was unpleasant. The chalet contained all the essentials - even the ones you forget when you go on holiday: cutlery, plates, a stove, bowls, a fridge and even extra blankets for the cold evenings. I would definitely recommend this chalet to others. Thanks to Jane for making sure we were safe and happy!

Nice place to stay, with quaint secluded braai area. Clean, neat, more than enough accommodation.
The terrible communication when you arrive is an issue. First of all there's no sigh etc. that indicates that you're at the right place. The banner says "Laundry"? On GPS/Mpas Apps it says Highlands Hotel or something (permanently closed). The street address 710 is misleading since the street numbers do not correspeond with the eventual address. There was no one to hand over the keys and after much effort you have to drive 2 km to a restaurant to get the keys. Then, all the units except our unit No 15 can be paid by credit card? Something doesn't add up and it had a negative impact on our initial impression of Cranford.

Very comfortable and tidy accommodation and everything you need can be found in the chalet. No extras needed to be packed.
At the beginning of our stay I was somewhat worried about the covered parking and the security that comes with it. Soon we realized that our stay would be carefree with a 24 hour guard around the buildings and the assurance of Jane and Martin that there had not yet been a problem with thefts. What a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains at sunrise. A real sense of calm surrounded us in Clarens and it's so quiet in the area. My wife and I had a great rest with the 3 night stay and of course Clarens tried to buy empty. I highly recommend Cranford Chalets. Thanks to Lekkeslaap for quick response to get accommodation at short notice.

It was neat, clean and a bit out of the town center which was very nice. Calm and quiet. Probably a 2 minute drive to the town centre.
There is a pharmacy in town with a very friendly and helpful female pharmacist who was open on Saturday afternoon and Sunday. The Sunday morning church service at 6:15 was the highlight over the Easter weekend. We felt at home among all the friendly people and enjoy tea and Easter buns after the service. Many thanks to all Clarens' people who made it special.

Chalet 15 Cranford is a beautifully furnished house at a very good price. I couldn't believe my eyes when we got there and saw how beautiful it was and how much effort the owner had made for the good price we paid. It's bad catering but there was coffee, tea, sugar and biscuits left for us. The bed has an electric blanket on it and heater on the wall. It's very cosy, great for a cheap weekend away in Clarens.
