Ongelooflik lekker, pragtig en aandag aan detail was spesiaal.

Definitief! Pragtige plek met die mooiste uitsig en alles en meer wat mens nodig het. Die tuisgebakte beskuit, wortelkoek en nougat lekkers 'n aangename bonus!

Incredibly delicious, beautiful and attention to detail was special.

Definitely! Beautiful place with the most beautiful view and everything and more that one needs. The home-baked rusk, carrot cake and nougat sweets are a pleasant bonus!

Ons het 'n heerlike en rustige tyd by Jovali gehad. Nie net was die blyplek van hoë gehalte nie, maar die natuurskoon was pragtig. Ons sal vir seker weer daar oornag.

Uitstekend, rustige omgewing, ons beveel dit beslis aan.

Tweede keer wat ons by Jovali tuis gaan in Clarens. In die 4 jaar wat ons laas daar tuisgegaan het, het alles net beter geword. Die plek is netjies, ontvangs vriendelik. Alles wat jy ooit sal gebruik is beskikbaar in die woonheid. Ons is spyt dat ons net vir eendag bespreek het. Dankie, groete en baie dankie.

Second time we stay at Jovali's home in Clarens. In the 4 years since we last lived there, everything has only gotten better. The place is neat, reception friendly. Everything you will ever use is available in the residence. We regret that we only booked for one day. Thank you, greetings and thank you very much.

Asemrowend, gemaklik, ontspannend, verras, ons het baie lekker gebly.

Ons het baie lekker gebly en die gasheer was baie vriendelik en bedagsaam. Elk van ons het selfs 'n onverwagse Lindt Paashaas ontvang. Die uitsig oor die berge verander elke dag afhangend van die son en die wolke, elke dag was mooier as die vorige dag.

Comfortable and peaceful.

The unit was very comfortable, tastefully decorated and well equipped. There is unfortunately no cleaning service, which is a big drawback, especially on holiday. The TV is very small and it's not a smart TV.

Jovali 's response

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us, Tracy! We are delighted to know that your stay with us was both comfortable and peaceful.

Jovali Clarens is a self-catering establishment and therefore not serviced daily for short stays (as stated in the written confirmation received from us when you booked).

We have taken note of your comments regarding the TV, but we find that most of our guests visit us to escape to the peace and tranquillity of our farm, and therefore the TVs are rarely used. Our Internet connection is provided via satellite causing lower bandwidth, therefore smart TVs would be rendered useless as the Internet speed is not fast enough to allow for streaming, hence a full DStv premium bouquet being provided to cater for all tastes.

We hope that this did not affect your Clarens country stay too much though, and that you will return soon to experience the natural beauty of the Eastern Free State again.

All our best,
Johan and Tim

Romantiese bestemming in die berge.

Ons het ons 31ste huweliks herdenking hierdie week gevier en die laaste 2 nagte van ons verlof kom kuier by Jovali. Wat 'n besondere plek? Die gasheerpaar was so vriendelik en het waarlik aan alles gedink, tot sherry en 'n heerlike varsgebakte wortelkoek wat ons ingewag het. Daar was vars melk, heerlike beskuit, heerlike topklas koffie, Lindt sjokolade en ander lekkertjies, tot 'n botteltjie voelsaad vir die baie soorte vinkies wat daar kom kuier het. Die kamer was kraaknetjies en alles is van die hoogste gehalte. Dit is romanties ouwerelds mooi, met asemrowende uitsigte oor die Maluti-berge. Het die volmaan sien opkom oor die berge, wat 'n asemrowende gesig! Die volgende oggend was dit weer die pragtige sonsopkoms. Die plek is op 'n plaas, maar jy voel nie asof jy op 'n plaas is nie. Dit is ongeveer 6 km buite Clarens, so al die gewoel van die dorp is net 'n paar minute weg. Wanneer jy by Jovali op die stoep sit en die koel aandlug waai oor jou terwyl die son die wêreld verkleur as hy sak, voel jy hoe die bedruktheid van 'n besige stadslewe uit jou gebeente vloei en jou lig en swewend laat, sodat jy tussen die miljoene pragtige sterre in die melkweg bo jou jou pad wil vind. 'n Ware sprokie vir 'n stadskind.

Romantic destination in the mountains.

We celebrated our 31st wedding anniversary this week and spent the last 2 nights of our holiday visiting Jovali. What a special place? The host couple were so friendly and truly thought of everything, down to sherry and a delicious freshly baked carrot cake that awaited us. There was fresh milk, delicious biscuits, delicious top-class coffee, Lindt chocolate and other goodies, up to a bottle of fenugreek seed for the many types of finches who came to visit. The room was spotless and everything is of the highest quality. It is romantically old-worldly beautiful, with breathtaking views of the Maluti mountains. Saw the full moon rise over the mountains, what a breathtaking sight! The next morning it was again the beautiful sunrise. The place is on a farm, but you don't feel like you're on a farm. It is approximately 6 km outside of Clarens, so all the hustle and bustle of town is only a few minutes away. When you sit on the porch at Jovali and the cool evening air blows over you as the sun colors the world as it sets, you feel the pressures of a busy city life drain from your bones and leave you light and floating, so that you are among the millions of beautiful stars in the galaxy above you want to find your way. A true fairy tale for a city child.

Vyfster-verblyf!

Ek en my seun het behoorlik bederf en geseënd gevoel by Jovali. Ons is gasvry en vriendelik verwelkom. Die eenheid is baie smaakvol gemeubileerd en daar kom niks kort nie. Wonderlike uitsig, die vryheid van stilte en stap, ondervloerse verhitting (groot bonus), vars beskuit en sjokolade-croissant, heerlike koffie, winter-sterrehemel en 'n supermaan, luukse beddegoed. Ons gaan julle verseker weer besoek. Baie dankie Johan en Tim.

Asemrowend mooi, stil en rustig.

Al ons verwagtinge is oortref. Jovali gaan regtigwaar uit hul pad om gaste welkom te laat voel. En die choc-eclaires was absolute bederf! Wow! Daar is aandag gegee aan al die klein detail goedjies, selfs voëltjiesaad is voorsien. Baie dankie Tim en Johan, ons sal beslis terugkom. Die heel enigste effense negatief was die grondpaadjie, dit was growwer en klipperiger as verwag (nie aan te bevele vir kleiner voertuie nie), maar as jy stadig genoeg ry is dit nie te erg nie.

All our expectations were exceeded. Jovali really goes out of their way to make guests feel welcome. And the choc eclaires were an absolute treat! Wow! Attention was paid to all the little details, even bird seed was provided. Thank you very much Tim and Johan, we will definitely come back. The very only slight negative was the dirt track, it was rougher and rockier than expected (not recommended for smaller vehicles), but if you drive slowly enough it's not too bad.

Perfekte rusplek vir 'n naweek.

Eienaars ongelooflik professioneel. Hulle gee baie aandag aan detail. Die plekkie is baie skoon en netjies en smaakvol, tog gemaklik toegerus. Die uitsig is asemrowend and dis baie stil en rustig as jy net wil ontspan en stres aflaai. Voordeel is dat dit baie naby die dorp Clarens is.

Transquility, glamour class and breathtaking views.

Within 7 minutes from town, but over the hill away from town that you can hit two birds with one stone. You can have the beauty and tranquility of being alone overlooking the mountains and within 7 minutes be back in town in the buzz of Clarens or having a 5 star meal at Clementines or at Treat. Little extras in the room were special. Loved the birds in the morning. A 500 m walk down to the river is a romantic walk and great spot for picnic. Seeing the moon rise above the mountains at night is a treat as well and the sunrise.

Daar is 'n opsie om daaglikse diens te versoek en ekstra te betaal daarvoor, en ons noem dit in ons inligtingsbrosjure in die kamer. In die toekoms sal ons 'n punt maak om die opsie aan te bied wanneer ons ons gaste inboek.

Gerieflik ingerig, pragtige eenhede en asemrowende natuur.

Jovali het al ons verwagtinge oortref! Die eenhede het enige iets wat 'n mens kan benodig en meer met 'n fantastiese uitsig oor die berge. Ons woefkind het die wandelpaadjies en oop ruimte baie geniet en ons sal definitief weer terugkom vir die rustigheid. Die eienaars is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam en al die klein bederfies soos die sherry en koeksusters is 'n ekstra bonus!

Die gasheer is vreeslik aangenaam en tegemoetkomend toe ons bietjie vroeër wou inboek. Jovali en sy uitsig is baie mooier as op die prentjies, bo-verwagting vir seker! Hier kan mens absoluut rus! Ons sal seker weer terug gaan en 'n hele klompie dae kan bly!

Jovali will see us again for sure! Neat, large, stylish and well-equipped rooms put you at ease immediately. The host is extremely pleasant and accommodating when we wanted to check in a little earlier. Jovali and its view is much more beautiful than in the pictures, above expectation for sure! Here you can absolutely rest! We will probably go back again and stay for a whole bunch of days!

Baie rustige en privaat atmosfeer omring deur mooiste berge en alles wat nodig is om dit gerieflik te maak.

'n Paar woorde om ons 4 dae op te som: stil, pragtige uitsig, ondervloerse verhitting, kombuisie toegerus met alles wat jy nodig het en van baie goeie gehalte, vars blomme, beskuit en koeksisters in die yskas, sjerrie en sjokolade, kwaliteit beddegoed asook kombuisware, haardroër, lekker handdoeke en seep in die badkamer, onderdakparkering, alles wat nodig is vir 'n lekker braai (bring net jou vleis). En die sneeu op die berg was die resep vir die lekker tuisgebakte beskuit wat ons gasvrou aangestuur het. Ons sal definitief weer by Jovali gaan bly. Ideaal vir 'n stil wegbreek vir 2 mense. Jy kan regtig net jou klere pak! Alles is voorsien. Eet in Clarens by al die oulike eetplekke.

Very peaceful and private atmosphere surrounded by beautiful mountains and everything needed to make it convenient.

A few words to sum up our 4 days: quiet, beautiful views, underfloor heating, kitchenette equipped with everything you need and of very good quality, fresh flowers, rusks and koeksisters in the fridge, sherry and chocolate, quality bedding as well as kitchenware, hair dryer, nice towels and soap in the bathroom, undercover parking, everything needed for a nice braai (just bring your meat). And the snow on the mountain was the recipe for the delicious homemade rusks that our hostess sent. We will definitely stay at Jovali again. Ideal for a quiet getaway for 2 people. You can really just pack your clothes! Everything is provided. Dine in Clarens at all the great eateries.

Alles netjies en skoon. Die bed benodig 'n nuwe (stewige) matras. Persone wat 'n rugoperasie of soortgelyk gehad het, kan nie op die bed slaap nie. Alles verder piekfyn en baie skoon en netjies. Dankie. Motors met laeprofielbande moet die paadjie na Jovali baie baie stadig ry.

Waar begin 'n mens. Die uitsig is asemrowend! Die huis is baie mooi en skoon! Die oom en tannie is so vriendelik, hulle is soos regte "oupa-en-ouma-mense"! Hulle was so besorg oor ons kinders en my seuntjie was absoluut mal oor hulle. Om elke oggend wakker te word met daai uitsig en sonsopkoms, voel dit of 'n mens 'n bietjie nader is aan die hemel. Dis doodstil en so rustig in die aande. Die tuin is 'n prag vir die oë en so mooi versorg. P.S. Baie dankie vir my plantjies en saadjies, tannie.

Kamer met 'n pragtige uitsig net buite Clarens.

Ons het lekker gebly by Jovali. Die doodse stilte en natuurskoon was presies wat ons in gedagte gehad het om bietjie van die gejaagdheid van die lewe te vergeet. Die kinders het dit baie geniet om af te stap na die rivier en om daar te kan piekniek hou. Onthou om drinkwater saam te vat as jy meer as een nag wil oorslaap - die area se kraanwater kan soms na swael ruik. Die kamers is netjies en goed toegerus. Al was die herfswindjie koel was die kamer knus en warm. 'n Lekker ervaring!

Room with a beautiful view just outside Clarens.

We had a great stay at Jovali. The dead silence and scenery were exactly what we had in mind to forget about the rush of life. The kids enjoyed walking down the river and having a picnic. Remember to take drinking water if you want to sleep more than one night - the area's tap water can sometimes smell like sulphur. The rooms are neat and well-equipped. Even though the autumn wind was cool, the room was cosy and warm. A great experience!

'n Pragtige wel ingerigte eenheid, perfek vir 'n romantiese of ontspanningswegbreek!

Jovali is altyd die moeite werd om te gaan besoek. Dis seker een van die mooiste plekke in ons land met die uitsig is dit net asemrowend. Ons kom elke jaar terug! Ons verkies die plaas en uitsig eerder as om in die dorp self te bly. Die eienaars is ook baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Sien julle weer volgende jaar.

A beautifully appointed unit, perfect for a romantic or relaxing getaway!

Jovali is always worth a visit. It's probably one of the most beautiful places in our country with the view it's just breathtaking. We come back every year! We prefer the farm and view rather than staying in the town itself. The owners are also very friendly and helpful. See you again next year.

Om hier te bly is pure bederf.

Goed toegeruste eenheid met baie ekstras wat mens nie altyd verwag nie, soos die koeksisters in die yskas, sambrele, badkamerbenodigdhede, uitstekende kastrolle en bakke, en nog baie meer. Die uitsig is asemrowend en stappaadjies baie goed versorg. Ons sal weer hier kuier.

Awesome, perfekte, rustige wegbreeknaweek.

Wat 'n wonderlike naweek het ons gehad. Met ons aankoms Vrydagaand was ons kamer lekker warm (ondervloerse verhitting was klaar aan), sjerrie en sjokelade met aankoms en 'n ekstra bederfie in die yskas. Wat 'n lekker rustige, asemrowende uitsig oor die berge. Ons plekke was netjies, skoon met ekstra linne vir die koue nagte wat ons nie eens nodig gehad het nie. Ons sal beslis teruggaan. Baie dankie vir 'n lekker familiewegbreeknaweek.

Wonderlike verblyf tot in die puntjies versorg met fantastiese ligging.

Ons het 8 fantastiese dae by Jovali gehad. Onvoldoende tyd om te kon geniet, nie alleen weens fantastiese ligging met asemrowende uitsig vanuit ons bed, stoel en stoep nie, maar veral ook die persoonlike aandag van ons gasvrou en gasheer. Die heerlike tuisgebakte koeksisters by aankoms en daaglikse tuisgemaakte beskuit en vars blomme is treffers. Wat 'n heerlike tyd het ons nie gehad nie!

Vrystaatse gasvryheid in 'n skilderagtige omgewing.

Jovali is naby Clarens wat dit maklik maak om gereeld deel te wees van die kunsdorpie se feestelike atmosfeer. Tog is dit heerlik om te ontsnap na die stilte van die skilderagtige omgewing. Die eenheid is modern, skoon en die tuin is pragtige versorg. Die eienaars is vriendelik en toeganklik. Ons het heerlik gebly!

Rustige wegbreek van die stad se gejaag.

Ons het heerlik by Jovali gebly. Die huisie was mooi skoon en netjies. Lekker sjerrie, beskuitjies en koeksisters het ons ingewag met ons aankoms by Jovali. Asook braaigeriewe is beskikbaar en net 'n klipgooi uit die dorp. Die uitsig op die stoepie is beeldskoon en laat mens sommer dadelik rustig voel. Ek sal vir seker weer bly Jovali gaan bly as ek in Clarens en omgewing is.

Een van die beste gastehuise wat ons die afgelope 6 jaar besoek het.

Pragtige plekkie, uitstekende uitleg, mooi omgewing en uiters hulpvaardige mense. Stukkie grondpad is nie `n probleem en die enigste knelpunt is die reuk van kraanwater, alhoewel gebottelde drinkwater verskaf word.

Superb accommodation in a beautiful area of South Africa.

Jovali is well equipped to cater for all your requirements. Everything is clean and we were able to use all the facilities. The house is located in a beautiful area of Clarens and even with my low German vehicle I had no issues on the short distance dirt road. The owners are the nicest people who really care about the well-being of their customers. The mattress on the bed just needs replacement though.

Fantastiese verblyf met 'n pragtige uitsig en seker die gemaklikste bed waarin ek nog geslaap het!

Jovali is akkommodasie van hoogstaande gehalte! Daar is baie aandag aan detail gegee in die kamer waarin ons gebly het! Baie interessante gebruiksitems wat dit laat uistaan bo jou tipiese gastehuis. Die meubels is van hoogstaande kwaliteit! Aukeline het ons gewaarsku oor die swael reuk in die water - blykbaar kan dit nog steeds veilig gebruik word deur mense. Dit het ons nie gepla nie aangesien ons ons eie water saamgevat het. Beide ek en my vrou het baie gemaklik geslaap op die heerlike bed! Seker die gemaklikste waarin ek nog ooit geslaap het.

Jovali is accommodation of the highest quality! There was a lot of attention to detail in the room we stayed in! Lots of interesting utility items that make it stand out from your typical guest house. The furniture is of high quality! Aukeline warned us about the sulfur smell in the water - apparently it can still be used safely by humans. This did not bother us as we took our own water with us. Both my wife and I slept very comfortably on the lovely bed! Probably the most comfortable I've ever slept in.

Incredible views in a cosy cottage.

Jovali was absolutely lovely. The self catering cottage has everything you would ever require on a weekend getaway. The kitchen has all the necessary utensils, the braai is stocked with charcoal and fire lighters and there are yummy rusks and koeksisters for your tea. The room itself is warm and cosy and heated blankets and under floor heating is provided which was a godsend in the middle of winter. Jovali is situated a couple of kms from Clarens itself and there is a short dirt road that needs to be navigated to get to there which was the only drawback. The views of the mountains are incredible and it is really lovely to be able to walk down to the river and enjoy a cup of tea surrounded by nature and no other people in sight. It really is a wonderful spot, great value for money and we would definitely be back.

Asemrowende verblyf.

Ons het dit baie geniet by Jovali. Die plekkie is baie sjarmant met alles wat mens benodig en met die bonus van 'n asemrowende uitsig. Jovali is gerieflik geleë naby die dorpie Clarens en ander attraksies. Ons was ontvang met vriendelikheid en daar was 'n oorvloed van gasvryheid. Sal beslis weer daar bly.

Breathtaking stay.

We had a great time at Jovali. The place is very charming with everything you need and with the bonus of a breathtaking view. Jovali is conveniently located near the village of Clarens and other attractions. We were received with kindness and there was an abundance of hospitality. Will definitely stay there again.

Ons 4 dae verblyf in Jovali was net sommer lekker! Afgesien van die heerlikste beskuit ooit, is die huisvesting luuks en skoon, met die asemrowendste uitsig. Dankie, Audeline en John, vir julle gasvryheid. Ons sal beslis weer terug wees en het nou al heelwat van ons vriende ook na julle verwys. Nogmaals dankie!

Pretty and clean.

It was very nice and neat. The hosts were very thoughtful in leaving coffee/tea/rusks etc. and all necessary kitchen utensils are provided. I did not feel unsafe but there is no security on the farm, anyone can enter at any time and it is quite a rough gravel road. I would recommend changing the mattresses, they are very soft so you keep rolling towards the middle. But overall very nice and I would certainly recommend it.

Jovali 's response

Hi Kaye,

Thank you for staying with us and taking the trouble to review our guesthouse. We value our guests' criticisms as we continuously strive to improve the quality of our service. We evaluate the facilities regularly by accommodating our family and friends whom we trust to give us honest opinions.

The mattresses are obviously important for our guests to have a good nights rest. We ask regularly if the mattresses are comfortable and we have only had 2 negative responses from the hundreds of guests in the 8 years we have operated the guest house. The mattresses are expensive and of a high quality and we can only assume that you are used to a different class of support.

It is understandable that you may feel insecure in a farm environment. In the past 8 years the 8 guest houses on Bethel Estate have had no security incidents and we all feel safe here. To fence in the properties, would detract from the charm and beauty of the place and therefore no additional security arrangements are contemplated.

Unfortunately the road is a problem, but on the positive side the bad stretch is only 1,2 kms long and we advise our guests to endure the few minutes of inconvenience by driving slowly.

We trust that you will visit us again in the near future.


Kind regards,
Jovali

Beste Morne,

Dankie dat julle Jovali jul keuse van verblyf gemaak het. Jammer oor die pad. Ons het al duisende rande spandeer om die pad te verbeter en om dit meer aanvaarbaar vir ons gaste te maak. Die grondpaaie in en om Clarens is 'n groot probleem. Dit is 'n distrikspad wat ons probeer onderhou uit ons eie geld.

Die mooi omgewing maak darem op vir die pad.

Home away from home.

Jovali is perfect for a short getaway, perfect location overlooking the mountains and close to a river where you can have a nice picnic and relax. The friendliness and assistance from the owners make you feel welcome right from the get go. Not far from Clarens and other activities. Only thing to mention is that the last 80 m or so of the road is quite bad but drivable.

Stylvolle verfblyf waar daar in al jou behoeftes voorsien word.

Asemrowende natuurskoon en rustige omgewing met vriendelike diens. Aukeline het tot moeite gedoen om ons te skakel om sodoende te verneem wanneer ons gaan arriveer, aangesien dit begin reën het in Clarens. Die elektriese komberse en verwarmer in die badkamer het ons die koue Vrydagaand baie waardeer. Die ekstra bederf soos die koffie, tee, melk, beskuit ens. het nie ongesiens verby gegaan nie. Soos daar in Hollands gesê word: "Doe zo voort!"

Stylish accommodation which suits all of one's needs.

Breathtaking natural landscape and a calm environment with friendly service. Aukeline went to some effort phoning us to find out when we'd arrive seeing as it started to rain in Clarens. We appreciated the electrical blanket and heater in the bathroom on the cold Friday evening. The extra treats like the coffee, tea, milk, rusks etc. did not go unnoticed. As they say in Dutch: "Doe zo voort!"

A peaceful getaway with the most beautiful views and very gracious hosts.

We spent 5 very relaxing days at Jovali. I highly recommend it as peaceful accommodation in the most tranquil setting. It is within 5 minutes drive to the town centre of Clarens, but enjoys complete tranquility with uninterrupted views of the Maluti Mountains. A perfect venue where you can enjoy the stunning views from your patio! There are beautiful walks on the large property with access to the clear river with swimming and picnic areas. The hosts were very welcoming and gracious and the accommodation was pristine. We were extremely well looked after. Thank you!

Perfekte plek as jy wil wegbreek van 'n besige stadslewe af. Jy hoef nie verder te soek nie. Dit is baie stil en rustig met 'n ongelooflike uitsig oor die veld en berge. 'n Pragtige naby geleë riviertjie is slegs 'n hanetreetjie weg.

The best!

Perfect place if you want to get away from a busy city life. Look no further. It is very quiet and peaceful with an incredible view of the fields and mountains. A beautiful nearby river is only a stone's throw away.

Jovali is 'n rustige wegbreekplek.

Jovali is 'n beeldskone plek. Die rustigheid is ongelooflik as mens van die stad af kom. Lekker om wakker te word met die beeldskone uitsig. Sal verseker weer daar gaan bly as ons Clarens besoek.

Jovali is ongelooflik!

Volledig toegerus. Aandag aan detail is baie goed. Eenheid is skoon, netjies en die blik beskuit is heerlik! Die sjerrie was 'n bonus in die koue. Knus en warm. Ongelooflike uitsig. En die stappie af rivier toe, doen wondere vir jou gemoed. My seuntjie het heerlik met die honde gespeel. Ons sal beslis weer Jovali besoek.

'n Goed toegeruste, netjiese en skoon eenheid met 'n rustige en huislike atmosfeer!

'n Uitsig om vir jare nog van te droom! 'n Stil, rustige omgewing en 'n pragtige eenheid, goed toegerus met van basiese benodigdhede tot lekker en spesiale ekstras (gasstoof, elektriese oond, broodrooster, koffieperkuleerder, muffinpan, Weberbraai). Klein details en gasvryheid (welkom lekkers, sjerrie, koeksisters, melk, beskuit, vonkelwyn op oujaar) laat 'n mens tuis en gemaklik voel. Kraakvars wit beddegoed en snoesige handdoeke, 'n stort en 'n bad! Hemel op die platteland ...

A quiet, peaceful environment and a beautiful unit, well equipped with everything from basic necessities to nice and special extras (gas stove, electric oven, toaster, coffee percolator, muffin pan, Weber grill). Small details and hospitality (welcome sweets, sherry, cookies, milk, biscuits, sparkling wine on New Year's Eve) make one feel at home and comfortable. Crisp white bed linen and fluffy towels, a shower and a bath! Heaven in the countryside...

Ons het heerlik gebly die eenheid was ongelooflik mooi, skoon en netjies. Die uitsig vanuit die voordeur is asemrowend mooi! Dit gevoel asof ons in 'n ander wêreld is.
