Do yourself a favour, visit here
Nothing but praise for the excellent hospitality and standards maintained by Francois and Gerrit. A lovely small town with reliance on tourism and facilities to please the whole spectrum. The Re Treat is high grade in most respects but not cost. If ever we go back that way this is where we'll head for.

Very good
A warm welcome, nicely laid out unit, the bedroom a little small, and I personally found the bed a little soft. However, overall very comfortable, and a place I would visit again in the future. A special touch was a delivery of 5l of water as there had been a water problem in the whole town.

This is an excellent choice for anyone staying in Clarens. The studio was very comfortable and peaceful, as well as being located within a pleasant walk of the town, and being in a lovely setting. I had booked at short-notice, but the owner made me feel very welcome and made sure my studio was ready for me when I arrived.

Wir erhielten ein Upgrade für Unit 6. Das Apartment war sehr schön eingerichtet und absolut sauber. Jeden Tag wurde es gereinigt. Leider gab es im Außenbereich außer einer Steinbank ohne Lehne keine gemütlichen Sitzmöglichkeiten. Das war schade.
