53 guests' feedbackThis was the most beautiful location; the tower was stunning, we loved the attention to detail. Will definitely be returning.
We chose Rapunzel castle because it is a castle with a tower and stairs, 3 floors, with 32 stairs to be exact what you climb all day. We really enjoyed staying in the luxurious Rapunzel (almost like in a medieval castle). The castle is romantic and magical. The decor and furniture are like from a "movie". Luxury and carefully chosen down to the last detail. The kitchen is fully equipped with an ice machine. It only needs a bread toaster and a small freezer! The Princess room in the tower turns into a fairy tale when the lights are switched on at dusk. It is so romantic. The Princess room gets sun all day and late afternoon it is cuddly warm with full sun, especially now in winter it is a bonus and the sun gives the room a warm color that is indescribably beautiful.We did sit without power for 2 hours the next day under no circumstances wanted to leave our castle and our host brought us a gas heater and more solar lights.Then the castle turned into a real medieval castle which we enjoyed.We also had a guest who stayed in the lower room behind a shield. It didn't bother us. I highly recommend the castle. Make a reservation.
Best experience for us as a family and we will definitely go again.
What a beautiful place. Will definitely go again!
It was an experience. A welcome escape from every day's hustle and bustle. The Rapunzel's Room is picture-perfect, but pack a small bag or backpack if you want to sleep upstairs in the castle. The stairs are many. There is also a beautiful room on the ground floor.
Lovely fairytale evening and girls enjoyed it so much, around every corner you just want to take another photo. So much attention to detail. Truly feel like the princess. Most beautiful view.
Very nice stay and everything was very well arranged.
Awesome place, such a cool concept, view and decor. Beds were a little small and the place was quite dusty.
Very nice stay, thank you.
This is all and more that I see on their page. It was really an experience. Everything is there.
We had a great stay, thank you. Load capacity is always a problem. It gets hot during the day in the house and there are no fans.
Nestled among lush greenery, the enchanting castle stands as a timeless wonder in the embrace of nature. Its majestic towers and stone walls exude an old-world charm, while the surrounding landscapes add an unearthly touch. The seamless integration of architecture with the natural environment creates a fairytale setting, making it an enchanting destination for those seeking history and tranquility.
It is an incredible experience. It is very beautiful. There should be more places like this. Owners certainly have a winning recipe.
The castle was the perfect treat for our wedding anniversary weekend. Breathtaking view, clean and tidy with everything you need and more.
All that might be required, maybe I missed it, is a toaster. But otherwise it is a stunning place, and I would recommend that more people visit the castle.
The tranquility of nature. You can't describe it if you haven't been there.
Clever design. Clean mountain air. Beautiful sunsets. Quiet and peaceful. Cozy kitchen and braai area. It was like having two holidays at the same time. I enjoyed breakfast and shopping in town. I came back in the afternoon for a sundowner and a peaceful BBQ. Thank you!
What one notices first is the detail. It is unimaginable that someone could make a place where strangers can come and relax with so much love. It was all silver clean and very practically furnished. And the view was breathtaking. I also appreciated that no one ever bothered us. The information beforehand was just enough, not overwhelming. Truly a wonderful place.
The castle is a fairy tale come true!
The place is very well put together and is very magical.
Very comfortable and beautiful place. The dress-up clothes in the closets are the icing on the cake. Very cozy and picturesque. Definitely worth a visit or two or three. Will definitely visit again.
I could use a lot of cute words, but they are unnecessary. It was freaking awesome.
Aladdin's Palace is even better in "real life" than the pictures! The attention paid to detail is exceptional. Would recommend anytime, it was an amazing experience.
It has been my dream for many years to rest in the castle, and believe me, my wildest dreams have been surpassed. I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone to experience the "fairy tale". The detail that is there is indescribable. The view from the different rooms is breathtaking. I can only say, wow.
Beautiful view and quiet.
See stars.
The accommodation and view were fantastic. Neat and clean. The decor of the home was top notch.
It was an incredible experience. Would definitely want to stay there again one day!
Very nice braai area, well equipped. Will definitely visit again. Manie is an excellent and very helpful host.
Delightfully relaxed, spacious and luxurious.
Would definitely recommend it for any couple looking for a romantic weekend.
The owner and manager are both so kind and welcoming and we enjoyed our stay at the Rapunzel castle.
See stars.
It was a wonderful experience. Our grandson was in awe of the castle. Would highly recommend.
Gravity caught us off guard, but the castle is fantastic, so much detail has been added to make it realistic, we truly felt like princes and princesses.
We wanted to do something special for our 40th wedding anniversary. The castle was definitely our top choice.
Loved the attention to detail in the themed decor. Looking forward to seeing their Aladin's castle.
Worth every penny! The place is beautiful. The service is very friendly and good. The location is excellent.
A "bucket list" must amazing, unforgettable, a 100% true fairy tale, definitely a 5 star experience to have.
Calm and charm in one package.
Definitely something to experience, it was wonderful. Aunt Wimpie and Uncle Basie are wonderful people and quickly made us feel at home. This accommodation is a definite must for anyone.
I would recommend the place to everyone. And the food that was served to us was top shelf. I will definitely go back again. Was quite sad to go home.
Castle In Clarens had been just one incredible experience. Everything was just absolutely perfect. They will definitely see us again.
The preparation of the castle was particularly good. The entire castle was clean from corner to corner with absolutely no dust in sight. The theme of the castle was particularly well pursued and achieved. It is definitely a destination we will visit again. And soon.
Lovely rooms and beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.
Stars must be 5. It had been an experience to stay in our own little castle. Everything was so beautiful, neat and done with love. Aunt Wimpie and uncle Basie were lovely and spoiled us with royal food! Would definitely recommend!
The Castle is magical! The experience was well worth it. The fireplace and outdoor patio were my favourites. Thanks for a beautiful time there. Thank you for breakfast. Thank you for the peace and tranquillity, the privacy and the professionalism. I am especially grateful that you called me to collect my gown I forgot behind. I am eternally grateful. See you again next year.
Magical! A wonderful place right out of a fairy tale! Friendly hosts, excellent food, great sleep, everything you need. Earn more than just a 10/10!
Dit was 'n ongelooflike ervaring! Dit is selfs beter as die foto's. Ons het dit vreeslik geniet en die aandete was wonderlik! Sal dit beslis aanbeveel
The castle is a very unique experience. It's unbelievably neat and has everything you need. We were looking for something that's not the norm and this castle definitely brought this to the table!
Castle Clarens is literally something out of a fairy tale! The attention to detail in the castle is unbelievable and even though it is self-catering, Wimpie always ensured that we were happy and had everything we needed. If you're passing through Clarens, Castle Clarens is definitely worth the effort.
Very clean and tidy place. Incredible view. Got engaged in the castle! Will definitely go back again to enjoy the silence, fresh air and view again. All I can complain about is the parking area which is very steep and makes it difficult to load goods in and out. Make sure your handbrake is working or you're going to go get your car at the bottom of the valley.
