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!

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.

We had a great stay and the host was very friendly and considerate. Each of us even received an unexpected Lindt Easter Bunny. The view of the mountains changes every day depending on the sun and the clouds, every day was more beautiful than the previous day.

Tracy H - Aug 2024
Overall rating
Comfortable and peaceful.
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

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.

My son and I felt properly spoiled and blessed at Jovali. We are hospitably and kindly welcomed. The unit is very tastefully furnished and nothing is missing. Wonderful view, the freedom of silence and walking, underfloor heating (big bonus), fresh biscuits and chocolate croissant, delicious coffee, winter starry sky and a super moon, luxury bedding. We will surely visit you again. Many thanks Johan and Tim.

Breathtakingly beautiful, quiet and peaceful.
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.

We had a lovely stay at Jovali and received a warm welcome from Johan. Beautiful view of the mountains from the room. The room and kitchen are tastefully furnished and decorated. Very close to Clarens itself but still far enough to enjoy the peacefulness of the area. Will recommend Jovali anytime!

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.

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!

Peaceful break for the haste of the city.
We had a lovely stay at Jovali. The house was very clean and neat. Nice sherry, rusks and koeksisters were available at arrival at Jovali. Braai facilities were also available and was only a stone's throw outside of town. The view from the porch was beautiful and makes you feel peaceful immediately. I will certainly visit Jovali again when I am in the Clarens area.

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.

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

Breathtaking setting and view from the unit!
On arrival Ena was there to receive us. She is very friendly and helpful... she also recommends the walking route at Jovali which leads to the river where you can swim and have a picnic. We had a wonderful stay, the unit was incredibly beautiful, clean and tidy. The view from the front door is breathtakingly beautiful! It felt like we were in another world. We left Jovali rested. We have no complaints and would love to go again soon!!
