Lieflike huis skoon en netjies. Die belangrikste was dat die hondekinders kon saa.

Baie lekker gebly in die Drakensberge.

Beautiful but in need of some touches.

The good - the place is huge and very well equipped, even herbs and spices are available in the kitchen. The view is stunning, and the garden is small but well enclosed for my dog. It's also very dog friendly, with doggy bowls and towels provided by the garage, and no rules that dogs aren't allowed on furniture. The bad - the place is advertised as a 4-bedroom house, but 3 of the bedrooms were locked on arrival, so we did not have access to a 4-bedroom house. We had to ask for a 2nd bedroom to be opened as we were 2 non-sharing adults. There was a pile of garden refuse in the garden, cracked tiles, and no hot/cold water signs on the bath taps. The blanket in the main bedroom was very worn. On the first morning, I was woken around 8 am by the gardener. The main bedroom is very close to the road, and there are lots of noisy passersby.

Dear Michelle

I'm sorry that you were disappointed. We did not anticipate two people needing access to four bedrooms, but we did open another bedroom for you immediately upon your request. If you had indicated your needs with your booking, this situation could have been avoided. However, we apologise for the inconvenience of having to message us.

Our gardener intended to remove the pruned tree, but when he noticed you, he chose to minimise his intrusion on your privacy and left without completing the task. I apologise if his presence was too early and that he did not complete his job.

The house is pet-friendly specifically because it is an older establishment with no new precious furniture or fancy linens that pets could damage. We offer a choice - either we allow your pets with no rules about them getting onto the furniture, in which case you will find an older blanket on your bed, or we provide you with new mohair blankets and furniture, but no pets allowed. Does that seem unreasonable?

As far as we can tell, it's only the bath taps where the hot and cold signs are missing. However, standard plumbing conventionally has hot on your left and cold on your right. Nonetheless, we will mark the taps immediately.

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about noisy passers-by. People often walk in Clarens and engage in conversations.

We hope your next visit to Clarens will be more to your liking.

Regards
Mount Rose

Baie lekker gebly en dit baie geniet, veral dat die twee Schnauzers kon saamgaan.

Baie lekker huis met alles wat jy nodig het. Ligging baie goed en stapafstand van die dorpsplein. Baie veilig en goed omhein indien hondekinders saamgaan. Sal weer van die akkommodasie gebruik maak.

Skoon, mooi en goeie ligging.

Baie lekker plek vir 'n kuiertjie. Die huis is volledig toegerus met alles wat benodig word. Ons het baie tyd deurgebring op die stoep met sy wonderlike uitsig. Die kaggel was heerlik in die koeler aande. Dit was 'n baie besige naweek so dit was lekker om van die huis af te kon stap na alle winkels en restaurante.

Very nice place for a visit. The house is fully equipped with everything needed. We spent a lot of time on the veranda with its wonderful view. The fireplace was lovely in the cooler evenings. It was a very busy weekend so it was nice to be able to walk from the house to all the shops and restaurants.

Baie ontspannende huis met alles wat 'n mens aan kan dink. Die noodhulpkas is 'n pluspunt.

Die huis met sy uitnodigende atmosfeer het alreeds begin met 'n boodskap "die huis is gereed vir jullle" lank voor die inkloktyd. Dankie daarvoor. Alles in en om die huis is smaakvol met karakter. Die noodhulpkas van die huis is die eerste keer wat ons dit beleef. Die noodvoorraad, water en alternatiewe krag is uit die boonste rakke, selfs vir daai musiekte was voorsien. Sal beslis weer gebruikmaak van die huis.

Very relaxing house with everything one can think of. The first aid kit is a plus.

The house with its inviting atmosphere has already started with a message "the house is ready for you" long before the check-in time. Thanks for that. Everything in and around the house is tasteful with character. The first aid kit of the house is the first time we experience it. The emergency supplies, water and alternative power were provided from the top shelves, even for those musical acts. Will definitely use the house again.

Pragtig, met meer as genoeg vir selfsorg.

Ons as gesin van sewe kan Mount Rose enige tyd vir 'n groot gesin aanbeveel. Die kamers met en suite was selfs vir ons ouers wat reeds diep in hul 80's is gerieflik. Die hele wooneenheid leef uit na buite met pragtige uitsig en tuin. Mount Rose is ook uitstekend toegerus vir selfsorg. Dankie Gerhard en Santi vir 'n heerlike verblyf.

We as a family of seven can recommend Mount Rose anytime for a large family. The rooms with en suite were comfortable even for our parents who are already well into their 80s. The entire residential unit lives outside with a beautiful view and garden. Mount Rose is also excellently equipped for self-catering. Thank you Gerhard and Santi for a lovely stay.

Ons het 'n absolute fantastiese kuier in die wonderlike woning van Santie en Gerhard gehad.

Die huis is loopafstand van die winkels en die "Square"geleë. Die huis is fantasties toegerus met alles wat 'n mens nodig het. Die huis is ook groot genoeg sodat mens nie beknop voel nie. Die buite leefarea is wonderlik en mens voel nie bedreig met werklose karakters nie. Ek sal hierdie huis hoogs aanbeveel vir mense wat daardie ekstra wil hê. Die fyn detail wat Santie daar aangebring het is wonderlik. Baie dankie vir al julle moeite. Ons het ons verblyf verskriklik geniet.

The house is located within walking distance of the shops and the "Square". The house is fantastically equipped with everything one needs. The house is also big enough so that you don't feel cramped. The outside living area is wonderful and one does not feel threatened with unemployed characters. I would highly recommend this home to people who want that extra. The fine detail that Santie has put in there is wonderful. Thank you very much for all your effort. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Prima verblyf met topligging.

Eerste keer wat ons Mount Rose as ons Clarens-akkommodasie probeer het. Ons was besonder beïndruk en kon al die regmerkies maak: lieflike groot huis, alles pynlik netjies, fyn detail en afronding oral, Smart TV, uitstekend toegeruste kombuis, mooi slaapkamers en badkamers, baie ruim boonste-vlak hoofslaapkamer met selfs sy eie koffie-en teestasie. En voeg dan by: honde-vriendelik - en byna reg in die middedorp wat twee blokke weg is, maar jy voel nie in die middel van die gewoel nie. Die rustige uitsig vanaf die heerlike patio na Mount Horeb en die Maluti's rond die prentjie af. Hoogs aanbeveel!

Excellent stay with top location.

First time trying Mount Rose as our Clarens accommodation. We were particularly impressed and ticked all the boxes: lovely big house, everything painstakingly tidy, fine detail and finishing everywhere, Smart TV, well equipped kitchen, nice bedrooms and bathrooms, very spacious upper level master bedroom with even its own coffee and tea station And then add: dog friendly - and almost right in the center of town which is two blocks away, but you don't feel in the middle of the hustle and bustle. The peaceful view from the lovely patio to Mount Horeb and the Malutis completes the picture. Highly recommended!

Lovely, spacious house with a gorgeous view! Well equipped, clean, and comfortable.

We enjoyed our stay at the Clarens Mount Rose Holiday House. I would definitely visit again, and take friends. Would love to go in the summer and enjoy some more scenic hiking routes when the environment would be a bit greener and less dusty. A small suggestion to improve would simply be a small shelf (floating shelf or hanging on over tap) in the upstairs shower seeing as there is no place to put down your toiletries inside the shower such as razor. It is not particularly safe to put that on the shower floor.

Extremely disappointing.

It was clear that no investment is made in the business. The mattress was old, sagging and had a wire right around it. There are too many ornaments in the way. The linen was washed out, faded, skimpy and limp. There were only 3 towels for 2 people: 1 bath towel, 1 smaller towel and 1 hand towel. They were discoloured and very thin and skimpy. The exterior is beautiful but the interior is very shabby with unmatched pieces of furniture.

Clarens Mount Rose Self-catering Holiday House 's response

Sorry for your huge disappointment. You asked for the softest mattress so you got the oldest...sorry. My new mattresses are doublebased independent coil, not soft at all. I noticed you took everything (including the electric blanket) out of the cupboard and remade the bed. I could have done it for you and given you other linen and towels if you used the tel. no. supplied to you. I will get rid of the ornaments and leave the dressing table bare. Yes the linen is washed after every stay even if it's only one night, and I suppose you can see it. My rates are not high enough to allow me to replace linen every 3 months, like the hotels do. And the house is pet-friendly - it shows.
Sorry that you expected matching furniture, surely you looked at the photographs before you booked? I suggest you try one of the new places on the golf estate. However, it will cost about 3 times more. We invest in ensuring that the house has clean water (not a given in Clarens), that the French drains are working (not a given either), that you have electricity and free uncapped WiFi (important for almost everybody), that leaks are fixed, cracked tiles are replaced, the roof is painted and the wooden panes sanded and treated, and the house and garden in general is maintained. However, I will see to it that the towels and linen you were given are permanently removed and that more towels are left out for guests. I hope when you return to Clarens you find something more to your liking.
