Als is netjies en skoon, sluit heeltemal af van als daar buite!

Ons het vreeslik lekker gekuier, sal definitief weer teruggaan!

Heerlike kuiers op die stoep, pragtige uitsig!

Heerlike paar dae in 'n uiters netjiese en goed-toegeruste kothuis. Groot tuin en naby die wandelroetes.

Lovely visits on the stoep, beautiful view!

Lovely few days in an extremely neat and well-equipped cottage. Large garden and close to the walking trails.

Close to town and hiking trails, safe, friendly host.

The cottage was close to both the town and the hiking trails. There was no need to use your vehicle as both were within walking distance. The cottage was neat and clean. Security was good and within a gated property. The cottage had two bedrooms that could easily accommodate four adults. The host was helpful and provided useful information for first-time visitors to Clarens. They checked in during our stay. A lovely place to stay.

False advertising on items actually available in the cottage.

No full DSTV package available as advertised. The stove was only a hob with no oven. The fridge in the kitchen was actually a bar fridge - not enough cooling and freezing space for a stay of 3 nights - 4 adults. Although the cottage was clean and tidy, it is not designed for 4 adults.

Clarens River Cottage 's response

Dear Gavin, thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologise again for the error in our listing regarding the DSTV package. This oversight had not been raised before, but we’ve now updated the listing to provide accurate details. Regarding the stove, the website only allows listings to specify either “stove” or “oven.” While we didn’t anticipate confusion, we’ve clarified (where possible on the site) that the “stove” is a hob only. With over 100 bookings to date, we’ve had only one previous comment about fridge space. However, based on your suggestion, we’ve purchased an extra fridge for guests who need more storage. We appreciate your perspective on the size of the cottage and regret that it fell short of your expectations. We hope to provide you with a more enjoyable experience should you choose to stay with us again in the future. Best regards, Anja

Comfortable and quaint.

The River Cottage was a fantastic stay; it was a short walk to the square and close to the walking trails. Jacquie was great with communication and could assist us with anything we asked for! The team was accommodating, and the home was beautiful to enjoy. We'll be back .

Rustigheid vir die siel.

Ons het baie lank terug so rustig gevoel. En alles was net so gerieflik. Ons het orals heen gestap juis omdat nie te vêr was van die cottage nie. Dit was naby genoeg aan die dorp om te kan stap, maar vêr genoeg om nie die dorp se klanke te hoor nie. Ons gaan weer kom kuier.

Tranquility for the soul.

We felt so peaceful a long time ago. And everything was just as convenient. We walked everywhere precisely because it wasn't too far from the cottage. It was close enough to the town to be able to walk, but far enough not to hear the town's sounds. We will visit again.

Ongelooflik. Sal weer hierheen kom.

My man moes hospitaal toe en Jacqui het ons dadelik alle inligting gegee. Ek moes langer aanbly en Jacqui het die kamer verniet aangebied tot wanneer hulle nuwe gaste sou inboek. Alles was ongelooflik netjies, modern en stiptelik.

Unbelievable. Will come here again.

My husband had to go to the hospital and Jacqui immediately gave us all the information. I had to stay longer and Jacqui offered the room for free until they checked in new guests. Everything was incredibly neat, modern and punctual.

Lieflike plek wat sommer soos jou huis voel.

Anja en Jacquie was albei baie vriendelik en tegemoedkomend. Ons het dit geweldig geniet. Rustig op die stoep gesit, met 'n pragtige uitsig op beide die berge en oor die groot uitgestrekte tuin. Alles wat ons benodig het was daar. Dit was lieflik en ons sal graag weer by Clarens River Cottage wou inboek in die toekoms. Ek sal dit definitief aanbeveel.

Lovely place that just feels like your home.

Anja and Jacquie were both very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed it immensely. Quietly sitting on the porch, with a beautiful view of both the mountains and the large expansive garden. Everything we needed was there. It was lovely and we would love to book into Clarens River Cottage again in the future. I would definitely recommend it.

What a amazing stay!

Such a stunning place! I Love being close to town to walk into town. River Cottage is located right by the trails which is a bonus to go for walks into the mountain. Both Jacqui and Anja the owner were fantastic hosts. Everything was clean, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. The views from the garden onto the mountain is magnificent and the garden is any child's paradise to play in especially our son. We will definitely be back!
