Will definitely stay here again! Lovely unit, stunning view of the Maluti Mountains. Walking distance to the centre of the village shops and restaurants. The TV is just in a very impractical place - behind the sliding door - you would have to sit in the bath and watch TV.

Sal vir seker weer hier bly! Lieflike eenheid, stunning uitsig van die Maluti Berge. Stap-naby aan die middel van die dorpie se winkels en restaurante. Die TV is net op 'n baie onpraktiese plek - agter die skuifdeur - mens sal in die bad moet sit en TV kyk.

View was spectacular. The place was nice clean and tidy, exactly as the photo shows. The view was spectacular. Too bad the ceiling isn't soundproof, because the people who stayed above us were walking back and forth and moving furniture all day and night.

Uitsig was spektakulêr. Die plek was mooi skoon en netjies, presies soos die foto wys. Die uitsig was spektakulêr. Jammer dat die plafon nie klankdig is nie, want die mense wat bo ons gebly het het heel dag en nag heen en weer geloop en meubels geskuif.

Quaint cozy stay in a quiet area. Lovely quiet setting, but keep in mind that it is a shared property so you do hear it when people are walking around upstairs. Luckily, we only heard the other visitors when they were heading to bed. The space was clean and tidy upon arrival and is very well insulated. We had no need to use the electric blanket or extra blankets provided. It's pretty close to town, but on the dirt road part, if you don't mind that. We could also spot hot air balloons from the place.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful setting and found the space clean, cozy, and comfortable during your stay. It’s wonderful that you were able to spot the hot air balloons — such a special sight in Clarens! We appreciate your note about the shared property and the occasional sounds from upstairs. We do our best to ensure a relaxing atmosphere for all our guests and will continue to explore ways to enhance the experience. We're also happy to hear that the insulation kept you warm and that the location worked well for your needs. For our future guests: while our property is on a dirt road, it's worth noting that in Clarens, all roads are dirt roads except for the main road — it’s part of the village charm! We’d love to welcome you back again soon!

Very peaceful and beautiful places, close to everything. We had a great stay, nice place. Very nicely done, we had a great stay, the only thing is the unit upstairs makes a lot of noise, so we spent most of our stay outside the room. You hear every sound that goes on up there. Otherwise we enjoyed it.

Baie rustige en mooi plekke, naby aan alles. Ons het lekker gebly, oulike plekkie. Baie mooi op gedoen, ons het verskriklik lekker gebly, die enigste ding is die eenheid bo op die plek maak baie geraas, so dit het ons meeste van ons blytyd buite die vertrek laat spandeer. Jy hoor elke geluid wat daar bo aangaan. Anders het ons dit geniet.

Very neat, clean and creative decor - unfortunately not a peaceful atmosphere. The Red Unit was very neat and clean. The decor was also very creative and original. The communication was also easy and clear. The accommodation consists of several units and the Red unit is under a 2nd unit. So if you want peace and quiet, the place is not going to work for you. Footsteps and chatter in the afternoons and mornings, when workers return home, there is a lot of foot traffic past the unit. We went to close the gate ourselves in the evenings as it does not work on a gate motor. The TV placement behind the sliding door frustrated us a bit.

Baie netjies, skoon en kreatiewe decor - ongelukkig nie rustige atmosfeer nie. Die Rooi Eenheid was baie netjies en skoon. Asook die decor baie kreatief en oorspronklik. Die kommunikasie was ook maklik en duidelik. Die akkommodasie bestaan uit verskeie eenhede en die Rooi eenheid is onder 'n 2de eenheid. So as jy stilte en rustigheid verlang, gaan die plekkie nie vir jou werk nie. Voetstappe en gesels in die middae en oggende, as werkers huiswaarts keer, is daar baie voete verkeer verby die eenheid. Ons het self in die aande die hek gaan sluit aangesien dit nie op 'n hekmotor werk nie. Die TV-plasing agter die skuiwende deur het ons bietjie gefrustreer.

Thank you very much for your feedback and for taking the time to share your experience. We are pleased that you found the studio to be neat, clean and creatively decorated, and that you found communication with us easy and clear. We understand your points regarding the noise levels. The studio is under a second unit (which is communicated in the unit description), and there are occasional footsteps and chatter in the afternoons and mornings when workers return home. If we had been aware of your need for quiet earlier, we would have been happy to help discuss or offer alternative options. Regarding the gate and TV placement – we appreciate your feedback and will take it into account for future improvements. We hope you were still able to enjoy your stay and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Baie dankie vir u terugvoer en dat u tyd geneem het om u ervaring te deel. Ons is bly dat u die studio as netjies, skoon en kreatief gedekoreer ervaar het, en dat u die kommunikasie met ons maklik en duidelik gevind het. Ons verstaan u punte rakende die geluidsvlakke. Die studio onder ’n tweede eenheid (wat in eenheid beskrywing deurgegee word), en daar is soms voetstappe en gesels in die middae en oggende wanneer werkers huiswaarts keer. As ons vroeër bewus was van u behoefte aan stiltes, sou ons graag gehelp het om alternatiewe opsies te bespreek of aan te bied. Oor die hek en TV-plasing – ons waardeer u terugvoer en sal dit in ag neem vir toekomstige verbeterings. Ons hoop dat u steeds van u verblyf kon geniet en waardeer dat u die tyd geneem het om u ervaring te deel.

Looked for another place to sleep. Nope. The location is not good. On the outskirts of town where many pedestrians walk to the community. Fence is low and the street was bad.

Het ander slaapplek gesoek. Nope. Die ligging is nie goed nie. Aan die buitewyk van die dorp waar baie voetgangers na die gemeenskap loop. Heining is laag en die straat was sleg.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are sorry that the location did not meet your expectations. We just wanted to mention that the majority of our guests enjoyed their stay in our unique container unit — they appreciated the style, amenities, uniqueness and peaceful surroundings, and our last guests even extended their stay! We are aware of the challenges with the roads, and fortunately the community is working with the municipality through the “Active Citizenry Collective Power” project to improve the infrastructure, especially after the rains.

Dankie dat u tyd geneem het om u ervaring te deel. Ons is jammer dat die ligging nie aan u verwagtinge voldoen het nie. Ons wil net noem dat die meerderheid van ons gaste hulle verblyf in ons unieke container-eenheid geniet — hulle waardeer die styl, geriewe, uniekheid en rustige omgewing, en ons laaste gaste het selfs hulle verblyf verleng! Ons is bewus van die uitdagings met die paaie, en gelukkig werk die gemeenskap saam met die munisipaliteit via die “Active Citizenry Collective Power” projek om die infrastruktuur te verbeter, veral na die reën.

Wonderful, different stay with lovely decor! What a lovely stay with beautiful decor. A different experience to a normal house. The container is very well equipped and has a lovely braai area just outside the unit.

Clarens otherwise interesting get away. Outrageous, but fair for the price and location.

Clarens anders interessant wegkom. Oraaiterig, maar billike vir die prys en ligging.

Fantastic. Unit is very well appointed and has been surprised time and time again. Provision was made for cold evenings and the dark hours of load shedding.

Fantasties. Eenheid is baie goed ingerig en is keer op keer verras. Voorsiening was gemaak vir koue aande en die donkertye van beurtkrag.
