Baie lekker, en sal enige tyd weer terugkeer.

Baie goeie ligging, stap afstand van al die winkels en restaurante. Baie mooi blyplek en 'n baie vriendelike gasheer.

Mooi, ingerigte en skoon verblyf.

Alles en meer as wat 'n mens verwag. Netjies, skoon, stil area, modern. Liggies vir load shedding. Ons drink nie alkohol nie, maar daar was gratis drankies by Clarens Brewery wat baie gaaf is. Met vreeslike vriendelike personeel.

Everything and more than one expects. Neat, clean, quiet area, modern. Light for load shedding. We don't drink alcohol but there were free drinks at Clarens Brewery which is really nice. With extremely friendly staff.

Pragtig, alles wat jy nodig het, skoon verblyf!

Baie dankie, ons het lekker gebly. Baie dankie vir die ekstra verwarmer en die warm kombers. Die plek was pragtig en netjies. Dankie vir die vouchers. Ons sal beslis hierdie plek aanbeveel, net 'n nota, dat dit naby 'n skool is. Ons het net gesorg dat ons eers later die middag terugkom (as skool uit was), maar in die oggend is dit besig tot die skool begin.

Beautiful, everything you need, clean accommodation!

Thank you very much, we had a great stay. Thank you very much for the extra heater and the warm blanket. The place was beautiful and tidy. Thanks for the vouchers. We would definitely recommend this place, just a note, that it is close to a school. We just made sure we didn't come back until later in the afternoon (when school was out), but in the morning it's busy until school starts.

Pleasant.

Busy street, especially during the school term. The property is in close proximity to a school, and it gets noisy during school drop-off and pick-up.

Nice and tidy place and located near most shops, but visibility of the owners/management a gap.

The place is beautiful but we didn't have too good a time. The first night doused in lukewarm water (and it was bitterly cold weather in Clarens) only to find out the next morning that the geyser was never turned on. After it was put on by the cleaner first thing the next morning, we went for a hike and upon returning to the cottage looked forward to a hot shower, only to find out there was no water :-(. We couldn't until late at night for first time hot shower. The owners/management was nowhere to be seen and we feel that everything is left to the cleaner. Don't think it's good for business. The area was not quiet as there is a large construction going on next door and the primary school was located opposite, but we were not unhappy about it.

Netjies en veilig. Voorwaar 'n pragtige plekkie. Baie indrukwekkend. Ongelooflik netjies en kom met gemak oornag sonder om te huiwer. Regtig 'n juweel in net so 'n pragtige dorpie. Beveel hierdie plekkie verseker aan. Gemoedsrus en kalmte. Baie dankie aan die eienaars. Job well done!

Beautiful place with a nice patio.

The place is very beautiful. We went to Clarens as part of the birthday weekend and the experience was out of this world. I am glad I could use a beautiful vase to put my birthday flowers. The table on the patio helped us to set up for our little lunch.

House is very new and clean and beautifully decorated and designed.

We stayed in the main Stoke House and it was even better looking than the website images. As Lindsay owns the Brewery it would be really cool if she popped a sample of each beer they make in fridge, just an idea. Think even if the cost was added at cost price or something it would be a nice touch.

The Stoke House 's response

Hey Brett, I like your input regarding a beverage or 2. I'll definitely look into this as soon as we can brew and sell beer again.
Thank you for your review, we are glad you guys enjoyed your stay.

A superb property beautifully decorated and appointed. Everything you need is available other than DSTV. Wished we could have stayed longer

I must add that Biddy from Clarens Accomodation was an absolute gem in swapping our empty gas bottle for a full one and supplying a bag of wood on Sunday at 4pm...Super service.
