We try to visit Clarens once a year. We've never felt the need to look further than the Royal Coachman. The Royal Coachman not only has everything a family needs for a stay, but is neat, clean and well located. The trout pond and surrounding farm, with a view of surrounding mountains only adds to the tranquility.

You have to fix the directions.
The lodge is 6.3 km from Clarens and not 36.1 km as the directions say. Very nice, would go again anytime, just the WIFI you advertise, it's there but you need a code.

Royal Coachman Lodge 's response
Hi Mike,
Thank you for your review and we would love to see you again. I think the directions are saying that is 35.1 km from the turnoff just outside Bethlehem so that is where the confusion came it. I apologise. The Wi-Fi code is in the welcome/instruction file on the entrance table. I am sorry you didn't find it, but you will know where to look next time.
Kind regards, Gregg and Kerry Mousley

The beautiful view is soul food and The Royal Coachman is fantastic for a quiet family weekend or a romantic getaway. Big fireplaces and no TV or internet to distract you. There is indeed very good cell phone reception. The view is truly breathtaking and our boy was always busy discovering nature and playing next to the pond.

The unit is fantastic, the surroundings very beautiful and peaceful.
Had a very nice holiday. Just two concerns. 1) No gate at entrance to yard. 2) A fee for the cleaner is kind of expected from the guests. For the price being asked for the unit, I personally think that something like this should not even be mentioned in the guest guide; it must be included in the price.

Blissful getaway. Away from it all, but close enough.
Our whole family (teens included!) were very impressed with the lodge. The house is impeccably neat and clean. The kitchen is equipped with everything a reasonable person would need. There is even a set of proper kitchen knives, with a knife sharpener. The house is properly cleaned every day. The underfloor heating and heated towel rails are a very pleasant addition. WiFi and mobile reception are unnecessary with the silence and beautiful nature around you. The view every morning on the dam and surrounding mountains is worth the price alone. The lodge is right between town and Golden Gate. We will definitely visit again in the summer. Highly recommended.

Excellent accommodation in an idyllic setting.
Royal Coachman met our expectations in every way. It is 7 km outside Clarens on the way to Golden Gate, where there are many day walking routes. The pond that is right in front of the house is home to various waterfowl and is full of fish, for the avid fly angler. We enjoyed the silence, nature and tranquility and will definitely go back. The accommodation was clean and tidy and met all our needs.

The accommodation and surroundings are excellent. We always enjoy the privacy.
We are disappointed in the fact that Royal Coachman advertises that trout fishing is available but found out 1 day before arrival that their pond has not been stocked with any trout for at least 4 years. We feel this is false advertising because they state on their website that it is seasonal. This is one of the main reasons why we booked there for this time.

We really enjoyed our stay at Royal Coachman. The house was clean and tidy and all the Covid-19 rules were in place. I can recommend the Royal Coachman to everyone. It is just outside the busy Clarens and not near other houses or the street, it is dead quiet. It is very peaceful and beautiful. One can rest decently and spend quality time with friends and family. I enjoy the no cell reception and no TV.

Unbelievably beautiful place. Would love to walk around the pond, but grasses are overgrown. Went to buy fishing gear, but no trout only koi fish in pond. Road but rough if car is low, is repaired after rain. Sorry no laundry facilities if staying for long periods. Here one's batteries are recharged and we see a chance for what 2022 brings us. Housekeeper friendly and works so neatly. We were surprised that he came to work on his holidays too - what a bonus!

The house is situated in a beautiful place with a wooden deck that is built over the dam. Neat rooms with all of the amenities that you need. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything that you need. The rooms have fireplaces that are nice for the cold evenings. There is a loft with 2 single beds. The welcoming craft beers in the fridge were a nice surprise. I didn't have fishing rods but saw big carp at night in the dam. The braai outside is a little small and tattered and can be updated. The CD player has seen better days and can be replaced. Other wise everything was clean and neat and we enjoyed the stay a lot. It is a little expensive for one family (2 adults and 1 child under 3). We payed R2400 for the night. If you are 2 families the price will come down per family.
