Fun for the soul!
Stunning stay! The little things that make a lasting impression like fresh sprigs of lavender on the bed upon my arrival. Visit - and be quiet - corners everywhere in the garden. The garden is an oasis for the soul, with views of the surrounding mountains that are so unique to Clarens. Will definitely stay here again. The location directions were a bit of a mess! With my vehicle's navigation system, Google Maps on my phone, the description's route directions, the owner's route directions as well as written instructions, we gave up after an hour+ of searching and contacted the owner. She was very helpful and I was finally able to log in.

It was a quick weekend getaway, Lavender and Rust were perfect.
Lavender and Rust is a lovely place to stay. Safe, excellent location, private and one can just relax. One of the most beautiful gardens I have experienced in a long time. I had to change the arrangements and it was no trouble. All the facilities are more than adequate and they have provided milk, ice, water, sherry and pods for the Nespresso machine. The property borders the "Clarens Conservancy" and we could "hike" to our heart's content. Permits are also available at Lavender and Rust. Will stay here again.

Exceeded expectations, super special! So spoiled feeling.
Our annual "cousin visit" is the weekend we look forward to visiting together and treating ourselves to a special cozy but luxurious place to stay that forms part of our visit. Lavender & Rust absolutely did it for us. The wood stove (which had already been packed by Willie) and sherry (which Annelie had prepared for us) kept us warm in the living room with a comfortable open plan kitchen with a view of the mountains. We were not inconvenienced at all by power cuts a. g. f. the solar power. Even though it was cold we never got too cold. The furniture, linen and interior are of the best quality and testify to extremely good taste. In every room there is something that makes you feel welcome and special. We actually feel like we haven't finished visiting there yet and would like to experience it in the summer as well because you can already join the hiking trail from the back gate. This guest house is an asset in Clarens and is exactly what one would like to experience. Annelie and Willie are naturally hospitable people and you can see that they only want to offer the best for their guests. We went to do the Parkrun and were impressed with the new wheelchair-friendly stone path they are building. I can't imagine that anyone who comes here will be disappointed, quite the contrary.

Everything was very nice and clean and the bottle of water and ice in the fridge, tea and coffee, sweet wine and chocolate was a lovely surprise and made one feel at home! If I could just add something: a "Smart TV" for streaming would be a good addition, as the evenings are cold and one would like to switch off a bit with the fireplace burning!

Fantastic.
It's a beautiful, neat little place with everything you need. The friendly reception by Annelie and Willie immediately made us feel welcome. All the details are special, as are all the treats. We will definitely visit again.

Indescribable experience. Thank you very much Auntie Annelie and Uncle Willie.
What an indescribable week! We had such a nice stay. Every little detail made our vacation so much more worthwhile. Aunt Annelie and Uncle Willie are terribly dear. They put in so much effort. It's very clean and tidy. We felt very safe. Definitely worth your money. We had so much fun with them and were able to celebrate our engagement with them. Will visit again soon.

Beautiful place with the most beautiful view.
Effort is made with extra treats. The wood and fire lighters are already packed in the fireplace, complimentary sherry and a coffee machine. This is a huge treat. Very nice decor and spotless.

Beautiful.
It is the neatest and most beautiful place with an incredibly beautiful view. Upon our arrival, we were very kindly welcomed by Annelie and her husband. We really enjoyed our weekend at Lavender & Rust and would wholeheartedly recommend the place. The tranquility and natural beauty was truly rest for the soul. We will definitely make a trip there again if we visit Clarens again.

Spoiled with beautiful house, view and the warmth of the owners!
Very neat and well equipped place with an amazing location and view - all that is wrong is that we only booked three nights. One should stay there longer because it is such a peaceful and beautiful place to stay! Everything on photos is exactly as the house looks and the owners are also a great asset and make a big contribution to the success of a very pleasant stay! And what a luxury for us namely solar power which provided us uninterrupted power through stage 6 load shedding. We recommend Lavender & Rust anytime!

Home away from home!
On the outskirts of Clarens is the most beautiful residence. Neat, clean and so much attention to detail. We were pleasantly surprised by Annelie's prompt and helpful communication, both before and during our stay. So much hospitality from her and Willie! The house is well furnished, just what is needed for a nice relaxing time. The warm beds and packed fireplace are definitely a winner! Thank you very much, we had a lovely time!

Great, perfect and all too beautiful!
The perfect 4 days at Lavender & Rust. We were kindly welcomed by Annelie. The cottage's decor is exquisite with luxury linen, crockery and furniture. Our welcome drinks were a great treat. The view from the cottage was breathtaking every day, even with the lovely rain. Thank you again for being part of a piece of heaven on earth. Annelie is the ideal hostess. We can recommend Lavender & Rust with the utmost confidence. Will definitely stay at Annelie and Willie's place again. All the best and blessings in what you do.

Far exceeded expectations and completely blown away.
Friend's brother came to visit from Britain for a few days before he would go back to the Cape, and thought just something different from the usual routine of when to visit the family in SA, and without paying too much attention Lavender & Rest booked at short notice. The pictures looked cute but nothing could prepare us for the pleasant surprise of our stay. Have stayed in Clarens a lot but it is a gem. Very new place, with all the charms and coziness of somewhere classic in Europe. The view is incredible, the service and friendliness of owners Annelie and Willie was incredible. The accommodation lacked absolutely nothing and can honestly say it can hold a candle to some of the best accommodation we have had. The quiet, the rest, the peace, the garden, the facilities, far exceeded all expectations! Close enough to town yet far enough away to not hear any of the town noise, feels like you are miles away. Can't recommend Lavender & Rust highly enough for your next stay in Clarens!

Willie and Annelie were very friendly and also very helpful.
They went out of their way to make it as comfortable as possible for us. They also made us feel very much at home and told us more about the surroundings and places to eat in the village. We have now experienced Clarens in the winter and we will for sure go back to Lavender & Rust in the summer. We had such a rest there and the view was breathtaking. It really is a gem within a gem. Everything is there that one needs. The fireplace was great for the cold days. It's a very neat, clean place and we really enjoyed our time there. The kindness of Willie and Annelie is so genuine. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay at Lavender & Rust.
