89 guests' feedbackWe really did enjoy our time away and this little self-catering cottage was well appointed, neat and clean. It was ideally located and very quiet.
Wonderful overnight stay. Marlene is an awesome host who made us feel at home right away. Nice, clean, cozy cottage with everything you would need.
We had a lovely weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage is well equipped and comfortable. It was great for the dogs to have an enclosed yard to be able to sniff and do their business without having to be on lead. The walking trails nearby are great. The location of the cottage is also really good, close enough to the centre of town but not so close that you had to negotiate the weekend traffic and crowds of people. I will definitely recommend this place and will stay here again next time we are in Clarens.
We had a lovely time in Clarens. Lovely places to eat and quaint little shops to visit. Our accommodation was comfortable. The host was wonderful.
Very nice stay. Clean and comfortable.
Upon our arrival, Marlene received us like old friends. Her friendly hospitality immediately made us feel at ease. The cottage is very neat and clean and is comfortably furnished with everything needed for self-catering. The bed is very comfortable. Marlene puts out seed for the birds in the cottage's garden and we used the opportunity to sharpen our photography. The cottage has a beautiful view from the porch. We had a nice stay and slept warm.
Everything one could need in a cozy cottage. Will definitely stay there again and definitely recommend the place.
Well furnished, tidy and slept very well.
My stay was lovely, the unit is well equipped to allow for self-catering and is comfortable. I had to work in the mornings, and the Wi-Fi is good enough to allow uninterrupted meetings. The host went out of her way to make sure that I was comfortable and had everything that I needed, and I found her very accommodating. I will definitely be back in the future when I come to Clarens again.
Wonderful accommodation. Clean and tidy. Would recommend it for sure.
It was exactly what I needed!
Perfect place in the town. Great for a single traveller or couple.
Everything we needed was available and clean.
It was delicious, just what I needed.
Was an awesome place, very neat. We had a nice time. Everything that was needed is there.
Reception and accessibility to everything needed was very good. Personal attention and eye-to-eye contact with the owner scores a lot. Value for money through and through, with excellent location.
Had a great stay and will visit the place again.
Marlene was very friendly the place was well equipped and good for short term lodging.
We had a comfortable and peaceful stay. The view is amazing and only a short walk from the fellow town. We experienced kindness!
See stars.
Our host was extremely friendly and helpful. The cottage was well-equipped and the stoep with a built-in braai was exactly what we required, overlooking the mountains. Pity we could only stay for 2 nights. Will indeed be visiting this facility again.
The cottage was clean and comfortable. However it was too cluttered with cushions, pot plants and nicknacks for my taste. This resulted in my having no place to put my own things, especially in the bathroom.
Comfortable cottage for 2 people.
Very well-appointed cottage. Cosy with lovely views.
Will definitely visit again.
Aunt Marlene is very nice and willing to help with anything. The cottage is very well furnished with everything you could possibly need.
From the moment I stopped at the front gate of Lakeview Cottage, I fell in love with it. Marlene is the most amazing hostess, very friendly and totally awesome. I spent the 6 blissful days in the cottage and loved every moment of it. Its beautiful nature, close to town and the cottage was well equipped with everything I needed. I will definitely be back very soon!
The facilities at the accommodation are excellent, as is the location, which is very close to all the various shops and restaurants. Marlene is a helpful hostess who has furnished the accommodation very well with everything needed for the traveller. I would confidently recommend the place with a beautiful view of the water. Don't overlook this pleasant and colorful cottage.
It was absolutely worth it.
Calm, peaceful atmosphere. Could do with a TV. Despite the lot of loadshedding, we enjoyed it.
Lovely pace with everything you need! Stunning view from the little deck and safe!
View of the dam and mountain exceptional.
We had a great time. Plekkie is just right for relaxing, which is what we did. View is beautiful. Marlene, thank you for the nice and comfortable stay.
Accommodation very well furnished. Friendly welcome. Beautiful view. Within walking distance. Will recommend. Affordable accommodation.
Very friendly welcome. Place is very neat with everything you want. Secure parking and easy to walk into town. Will definitely go again.
Beautiful setting loved the Cosmos blooming.
It is the perfect place to relax, heal and connect with yourself. Spent the time with my daughter who is a teacher and I'm a nurse so the pace is good and the personal touches made it special. Highly recommended.
Well furnished cottage with everything you need and friendly and helpful hostess.
Thank you very much, the cottage is spotless and tidy with everything you need. Close to all the shops and the scenery is beautiful. Had a particularly nice weekend.
I will recommend it to friends.

It's nice and quiet and private. Perfect for couples, with a beautiful scenic view like few others. We are both tall people so we would have liked a longer bed, but for a short time it was a hundred. I would still recommend to anyone. I think it's the best guest house. Wish I could stay there longer.
It has everything one needs.
Marelene welcomed us and made sure we were comfortable. The accommodation is cosy and romantic. The scenic view looking through God's Window.
It was very nice and comfortable.
Beautiful location and views. Marlene is amazing and gave us a very warm welcome. Bed was a bit small, but that's to be expected since we have a king size at home.
Place is well furnished. Patio table needs TLC and is broken on one side. 2nd easy chair would be nice to sit and chat and relax. Especially when it's cold outside.
Marlene was extremely helpful and friendly.
Very friendly and hospitable. Neat and clean with everything we needed. Good location which is within walking distance of the town centre.
It was very clean. Good place to stay.
The cottage is very centrally located with a beautiful view! The place is private and we had a great stay. It is not luxurious, but clean and tidy and definitely value for money.
The place is very cute and in the perfect location we walked everywhere! It was a lovely weekend.
It was incredibly peaceful. Very nice view and furniture so comfortable. Very well furnished.
Clarens is a very beautiful place, peaceful where soul and body can rest properly. Lakeview accommodation is beautiful with an incredible view of Mt Horeb. Everything is walking distance with a beautiful parkrun nearby. Highly recommended and would stay there again anytime.
Lovely cottage with a beautiful view. Quiet and peaceful. The sofa on the porch is great for relaxing. I really enjoyed the few days and will definitely stay there again and can recommend it. Very neat, clean and well equipped.
Marlene did her best to make us feel at home and comfortable. The accommodation is cosy, but very comfortable and well equipped. It was wonderful to be able to relax there.
View stunning. Generosity 100%. Accommodation everything we need was there. Great stoep with braai. Will go again for sure.

We spent a super weekend at Lakeview Cottage. Everything was just perfect. We enjoyed the view and the peaceful atmosphere. Marlene's attention to detail and all the little extras in the cottage meant we wanted for nothing. We returned home feeling renewed. We will return.
Hostess is friendly, helpful and communicates well.
Friendly host and pleasant stay
Would definitely recommend it to a couple or two friends. Was warmly welcomed, very friendly. Enjoyed it immensely, with a beautiful view.

Good location. Walking distance to everything. Good view.
Excellent service by Marlene, the hostess. She went out of her way to make us feel at home and make everything as comfortable as possible for us. The cottage is big enough for 2 people and is equipped with everything you need. The decoration and furnishings are very tasteful. Truly a cosy, cuddly place to stay in Clarens! We would definitely stay there again and highly recommend Clarens Lakeview Cottage. Thank you very much Marlene for your hospitality and care.
Clarens Lakeview Cottage has everything you need to stay overnight. It is clean, neat and tastefully decorated. The view is breathtaking and it is wonderful to sit on the patio and enjoy the scenery.
Had a great time, will definitely stay there again with nice view of mountains.
The star picks above already say it all. We were kindly received and the cottage was already ready at 12:00 and we could go in immediately. All the equipment was in working order. Would like to have a TV because the afternoons and evenings until bedtime are long.
Nice, cosy and remote. Beautiful view! Maybe just a bit too small.
Marlene was the perfect hostess - there when you need her, but never intruding on her guest/guests' privacy. The accommodation is tastefully furnished with everything needed in the compact kitchenette, as well as the bedroom/sitting/dining room (bachelor setup). It is ideal for single accommodation as well as couples who visit the area with the aim of exploring it and do not want to spend all day in the unit. The Cottage is within walking distance of all the restaurants and shops, meaning that guests can park their car and comfortably explore the town on foot without worrying about finding parking in the town, especially on busy school holidays and weekends. Marlene mentioned that the Cottage is a "work in progress" as there are still certain changes and improvements she wants to make, but in my opinion the Cottage is already excellent value for money.
The unit was big enough for 2 people. It was clean and tidy and within walking distance of the town centre. Will definitely stay there again.
Very safe.
Although it's a lovely view, the place is too small for 2 people. The cupboard space is also not enough. The parking is uncomfortable. No security lights outside when returning at night.
Was lovely! Wonderful, clean place and location perfect!
It is a very cozy place and big enough for 2 guests. Lovely stay and friendly service from Marlene. She leaves you alone and is not the one who always 'pops in' to see how you are doing. Everything was neat and clean and I would recommend the place. Thank you very much it did my soul good. I will go there again in the summer.
See stars.
A great place to recharge your batteries. Very neat and the people are friendly.
The house is comfortable and we were well welcomed, I will visit it again if I want to go to Clarens.
Thank you very much Marlene and husband. We had a great stay and will definitely visit again.
The unit is as advertised. It is cosy and has everything you need.
Accommodation was very small, too small for two people. We were also concerned about the safety of our car. It was once very cold where a TV (for a film) would be handy. Very expensive for a small space.
Beautiful accommodation and great service.
We enjoyed the weekend there a lot.
Clean and neat. Bed and linen was excellent. Shower facilities not comfortable. Parking also uncomfortable and full of gravel. Very pleasant hostess. Would love to go again.
The location is excellent, but the accommodation is a bit cramped. The parking is also a bit tight.
Lakeview Cottage is a beautiful little place. Clean and tidy. Friendly people. Place is very small though.
The stay was awesome. The place is beautifully clean and cozy. Will go back again anytime. The hostess excellent. Maybe just a TV/radio and the parking area just needs some upgrading. With the motorcycle, it is very uncomfortable with getting in and out as well as parking.
A wonderfully located cottage, well equipped, with a hostess who goes the extra mile for her guests, but who also isn't instrusive. I will definitely go back again and again!
The view is nice, but there are other places in and around Clarens that are bigger for the same price, would recommend for 1 person, because space inside is limited.
