Gentle Presence Cottages

Most ambient and comfortable cottage, with beautiful views of Clarens.

Pat and her husband are very pleasant hosts, who have a gem of a cottage on their little paradise. You can observe and appreciate their quaint individual touches to the decor and ambience of the cottage and gardens. The views from both upstairs and outside are breathtaking and refreshing. Wish we could stay longer. Thank you.

Heerlike rustige atmosfeer, pragtige uitsig, baie vriendelike gasvrou.

Baie lekker gebly in die historiese cottage met 'n pragtige uitsig.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. In Cottage 2, there is everything you need.

Staying here was lovely and rejuvenating.

Awesome.

Great hospitality, neat, clean and has everything you need in Cottage 2.

Peaceful and serene.

So cozy! The heater and electric blankets did the trick on that very cold Monday! Thanks.

Was great, will definitely return.

Stayed at cottage 2. Great value for money. The cottage has everything a couple needs and also has a great view of the mountains from the braai area. I highly recommend staying here.

Ons het net een nag oorgeslaap. Alles is netjies, skoon en gerieflik.

Gentle Presence Cottage 2 is 'n netjiese en gerieflike plekkie vir oorslaap. Dit het alles wat nodig is vir 'n nag of 2 se oorbly. Ons het lekker gebly.

Wonderful!

Beautiful cottage. Location is close to the main square. The owner is friendly and gives great restaurant recommendations.

Gerieflike kuier met lieflike uitsig oor die berge.

Baie gerieflike huisie, alles wat 'n mens nodig het vir 'n wegbreek. Stapafstand van die dorp.

OK for a short stay.

The accommodation is very small, to be honest, with some slight changes to the layout of the room, the space could accommodate seating better.

Fabulous.

Our stay was absolutely lovely. The host is very friendly, kind and helpful. The cottage is perfect for two people, and the little afdakkie outside is perfect to sit and have some coffee in the morning sun! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Die verblyf was baie gerieflik. Alles wat jy nodig het was beskikbaar.

Die verblyf was baie gerieflik. Alles wat jy nodig het was beskikbaar. Stapafstand van die plaaslike winkels. Baie rustig.

Die verblyf was baie aangenaam en gerieflik.

Die cottage het pragtige dekor en baie aandag is aan fyn besonderhede en gerief gegee.

Goed gelee, voldoen aan vereistes as basis vir ander aktiwiteite.

Ons verblyf was aangenaam. Uitsig vanuit boonste kamer baie mooi. Lekker geslaap en badkamervoor-gesieninge goed. Braai-area is bietjie ongerieflik. Stowwerigheid op oppervlaktes waargeneem. Beperkte DSTV, nie heeltemal korrek beskryf op webtuiste.

Relaxing and refreshing!

Ideally located, close to the shops and the mountain walks/hikes. Friendly hosts who ensured that our needs were met and made us aware of some hidden gems in and around Clarens. Thank you for your hospitality. The view and surroundings were amazing!

Wonderlike plek om te bly!

Baie dankie vir 'n wonderlike tyd in Clarens. Akkommodasie is fantasties en Pat was net wonderlik!

Perfection.

Bliss. Pure bliss. A huddled little corner in natures heart. That is the essence of Gentle Presence. A wonderful garden hugging a sandstone cottage with ample outdoors and under roof entertainment area exquisite views and tailored privacy. Magnificently curated interiors that is crafted with luxurious beauty and all the modern amenities one can hope for as well as gas and emergency lighting for those pesky load shedding moments. Close enough to the town centre to walk and far enough not to be bothered by the sounds of weekend hustle and bustle. Hosts that work hard to see to ones every need yet respectful enough to ensure guest privacy. Utterly neat tidy and clean with enough fluffy bedding and heaters to keep the cold at bay, Gentle Presence delivers high scores all around creating a space where one wants to come back to over and over again. Thank you Pat for entrusting our souls with your little piece of Heaven.

A little gem.

What a special place to stay. It was very neat and had everything one will require for a breakaway weekend in Clarens. This was home away from home.

Clarens het oulike winkels en restaurante.

Gentle Presence Cottage se eienaars is baie behulpsaam en vriendelik. Plek was skoon en netjies.

A great stay which has a real Clarens feel to it. If I visist Clarens again I don't have to look further than Gentle Presence.

The cottage was exactly what we wanted for our stay in Clarens. Great value for money.

Alles en meer as wat ons verwag het.

Ek kan Gentle Presence definitief aanbeveel. Die uitsig oor die berge is lieflik, die kothuis is toegerus met alles wat ons nodig gehad het en daar was allerhande ekstra bederfies wat ons nie verwag het nie. Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang en sal definitief weer daar wil bly.

Baie lekker en sal vir seker weer daar gaan bly en kuier.

Plekkie is baie gemaklik, alles werk mooi, baie skoon en net meer as genoeg vir 'n lekker wegbreeknaweek.

Great experience.

We had a great experience at Gentle Presence. The location is great and I feel it was great value for money. The owners were friendly and very helpful.

Die naam doen dit justice!

Die plekkie is loopafstand vanaf die dorp se vierkant, sekuriteit is knap en gee 'n goeie nagrus vir ons johannesburgers. Netjies en gerieflik is 'n goeie opsomming van die huisie.

Fantasties! Die eienaars is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Sal die plekkie enige tyd aanbeveel. Skoon en netjies met uitstekende gasvryheid.

Absolutely amazing, charm, beautiful view, chilled with a homey vibe.

Gentle Presence provides a modern yet olden day vibe. You can expect everything to be available from shampoo to all braaing utensils. Braai area, patio etc. Pat the owner is friendly, accommodating and always at your service. Will be staying there again when we go back!

It really exceeded our expectations.

We found Gentle Presence to be a very clean and homely cottage. We had magnificent views of the mountains all round from the two bedrooms and even on the patio. We also liked that every bedroom had it's own bathroom so we will definitely book again and take some friends with. Pat and Collin were really helpful and really went out of their way to ensure that Gentle Presence is a comfortable stay.

Regtig lekker, baie dankie!

Baie goeie diens van Pat gehad van begin van die bespreking tot ons daar weg is! Sal beslis weer daar inloer.

Rus vir 'n stads-siel met die mooiste uitsig op die berge!

Pat en Colin het ons laat tuis voel lank voor ons arriveer het, met oproepe en spesiale informasie oor die huis en omgewing. Die pragtige erfenishuisie is keurig toegerus en die uitsig op die berge, spesifiek vanuit die slaapkamers, is onbeskryflik mooi! Mens se siel bedaar en kom tot rus in die pragtigste omgewing.

Rustige verblyf by Gentle Presence.

Baie lekker gekuier 23 tot 25 Augustus 2019. Pat en Colin is baie oulike gashere. Die huisie is skoon en netjies met volle DStv. Die uitsig oor die berge (veral vroeg in die oggende) was betowerend. Ons het dit verskriklik baie geniet!

Lieflike kothuis met mooi uitsig.

Lieflike kothuis met 'n mooi uitsig en alles wat nodig is om jou verblyf gemaklik te maak. Die kothuis bied toegang tot die volle DStv-pakket wat altyd welkom is tydens die rugbyseisoen.

Excellent.

The hosts were great. Place very good. We were made very welcome. Definitely will be back.

Stunning place and stunning people.

See stars.

Great.

Lovely, clean place with great views and hosts. Had a super week there and will be back.

Heerlik gebly.

Sekuriteit was baie goed, was heerlik om in 'n ruim, goed toegeruste huis te bly. Eienaars was baie behulpsaam.

Oortref verwagtinge met alles en nog meer as wat jy dink jy sou kry.

Gentle Presence is 'n blyplek wat verwagtinge oortref, wat met die intrapslag jou verwelkom met 'n warm hart en die vooruitsig dat die kuier jou beter gaan los as die tyd aanbreek dat jy weer terug huiswaarts moet keer. Hierdie is 'n plek wat Clarens die moeite werd maak om by te gaan kuier. As jy vir 'n plek soek wat jou 'n ervaring gaan gee, is Gentle Presence die perfekte plek vir jou!
