Excellent weekend break and historic place of Clarens.
Excellent stay. Good location. Very clean. Short sink by braai, then it's perfect. Would recommend anytime.

What a pleasant surprise! Incredible place.
10/10. It was worth every penny. Julia made us feel so at home. There was nothing we could think of that wasn't available in the place. Great quality beds and everything else. It was a luxurious experience. And then we were lucky enough to book in after it rained because there was a private waterfall a few meters from the spot where we could enjoy cocktails. The stream or waterfall is always audible in the house. The view is incredible. There isn't anywhere in Clarens that can beat this.

Had a great time, the nature is beautiful there.
The cottage is beautiful and well furnished. Just keep the following 2 things in mind. The lower rooms' straps are connected to the outside of the house's living areas which was a big problem during our stay with loadingshedding and if there is loadshedding you have no water available in the house. The hostess was not at home but her father-in-law received us. He was very helpful and friendly.

Wonderful location and experience.
The French Cottage was a wonderful experience for our family. The children particularly enjoyed the surroundings with the natural beauty, and the tree-rich grounds against the cliffs with easily accessible hiking trails are a winner.

Rest for the soul in the most beautiful place to stay in Clarens.
The French Cottage is by far the most beautiful place to stay in Clarens. The surroundings are breathtaking and the house itself a fantastic treat. The house is beautifully furnished with everything one could possibly need. The beds are heavenly and the bedding excellent quality. Julia is a friendly and available hostess and communication was effortless. There are many hiking trails and great bird watching. It's a nice 15 minute walk to town (with a 5 year old), otherwise 5 minutes by car. We will be back for sure!

Thank you Hettie for your review. We will have a look at the smell in the drains, but often we do not have guests during the week and the water stagnates.

Fantastic.
We as a family really enjoyed the weekend at The French Cottage. Arriving there, we were warmly received by Julia. We arrived in two cars and on arrival two remote control controls for the sliding gate had already been provided, without us telling her beforehand. We arrived after 19:00 in the evening and it was very cold. The house's curtains were already closed, all the beds' warm blankets were on, as were the water heaters in every room. The house was beautifully clean and literally provided for all your daily needs. It was like our own home only in another province. Many thanks to Julia for a wonderful time in Clarens and it is definitely worth staying there.
