173 guests' feedbackLella was very hospitable. We really enjoyed it!
Had a lovely experience. Great sleep and warm hospitality.
Very nice stay. Beautiful.
Excellent stay at Die Kruik.
Partner & I enjoyed our stay, host was very welcoming and went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant. Peaceful getaway from the city, had a lovely braai and look forward to going back.
Beautiful view and peaceful environment.
Very nice stay, king size bed, very private, warm blankets and a heater, clean and tidy, will go again. Very nice view of the mountains. Nice shower and a large shell bath.
The facilities are comfortable for a nice quick weekend getaway.
Neat accommodation, not modern, could improve.
Great location with a super friendly service!
Friendly reception and nice view. Can pay attention to maintenance.
Such a beautiful place.
The owner went out of her way to make it comfortable for us. She even sacrificed her parking space to make it convenient for us.
Very nice. The owner knows how to accommodate and is very friendly. I don't have any complaints.
Very peaceful environment. Nice view.
Stay was comfortable. Lella is very hospitable. Free WiFi available (not listed on the listing). But the street is in terrible condition, rocks, ditches etc! You'll really struggle if you're driving a hatchback or sedan. I nearly damaged my car!
We had a very nice stay. The hostess is very good and is always there if you need something. Was particularly impressed with the extra goodies such as biscuits, new soap, hand cream etc., which were provided.
Yes, thank you, but feel free to put in a TV for rainy or cold days.
Very good and friendly service.
Clean room and bathroom, extras such as milk, biscuits, shampoo, conditioner, fresh flowers and delicious chocolate treats. Our vehicle sleeps safely so we sleep peacefully, clean fresh air, breathtaking view of mountain from bedroom.
We had a stunning view of the mounts. The hostess is very friendly and helpful. Would recommend this 100%.
Recommend that you don't go with a car as the site is very steep and cars struggle to get out.
There was everything we needed and what we lacked was available very quickly if we asked. Thank you very much for the friendly service.
The place to stay was neat and clean with Lella making us feel at home. Very peaceful surroundings with a view of Clarens' mountain. Will definitely stay there again.
We were on our honeymoon and Lella made it so special for us with champagne and chocolate. We will stay there again.
I would give this Accommodation 10 Stars!! Besides the cleanliness and affordability, the owner is fabulous!! That's not even mentioning the view and proximity to Main Square! They are also one of the very few places that offer a one-day stay. There are even warm blankets on the beds so winter at Die Kruik is nice and snug. There's place to braai, and even though the owner lives on the premises, one has quite enough privacy to rest and just enjoy the stay! Really really worth staying here!! Highly recommended! We will return to Die Kruik anytime!
Very cute and very friendly owner. Just feel at home.
Very nice stay, friendly welcome. Value for money.
Very nice stay but the garden needs a lot of attention and not a pretty face. A little TLC in the room and bathroom too.
The aunt immediately made us feel at home, almost like family. Everything was as advertised. Old, but neat. The use of the old house porch with braai makes it ideal for people who tour and stay together. We will sleep there again.
Place is neat and clean.
Friendly, helpful and overall great experience.
Place needs a lot of attention.
Thank you Lella for your kind reception and hospitality. The accommodation was adequate, clean and tidy. Will definitely book again.
Lella immediately made us feel at home, would definitely recommend and go back myself on our next visit.
We felt very safe and the garden was beautiful with many fruit trees.
Very nice atmosphere.
Our 2nd time there and Lella is the best hostess you could ask for.
The experience was pleasant and my daughter and I had a great stay. It is quiet with lots of bird life and the view is breathtaking.
Was lovely, thank you, peaceful atmosphere with breathtaking view.
Service is great, peaceful place to just switch off. Will definitely stay there again.
A great overnight destination! Had a great time on the stoep! Owner is very friendly and helpful. Will go there again!
See stars.
Very neatly and tastefully furnished. Slept nice and warm in the bitterly cold Clarens. Good stay for a short while.
Friendly and helpful owner. Rooms and kitchen are very small. Visiting area large and very cozy.
Very peaceful environment and beautiful view. Rooms somewhat small. No TV.
The house is a short distance from the town square.
It was a pleasant and very relaxing visit.
Very hospitable and friendly welcome.
The road is not tarred. There is no shower in the bathroom. The lady of the guest house is very friendly and hospitable.
Very nice rooms and garden with a nice view. The owners are extremely friendly and accommodating. It was really just pleasant to stay there, thank you very much!
We had a wonderful stay at Die Kruik. Lella is a pleasant and friendly person. We will definitely visit Die Kruik again, everything was neat and clean, a pleasure to walk into a place that has everything and is so neat. Thank you Die Kruik, we will definitely recommend you to everyone.
The reception was very warm and the place very tidy. The view is breathtaking from the room we had. Everything very quiet and tidy and had a very lovely visit. The lady who runs the place for her daughter was very helpful with advice on what to do and where to eat etc. The Portuguese restaurant she referred us to was excellent (not going to mention the name here) and just a piece of advice: Book there in advance otherwise you won't get a place. Will stay at Die Kruik every time in the sequel.
It was a special place, good view, and friendly service.
Very nice, will go again for longer.
Very friendly service and cleanliness is great. Peaceful atmosphere and beautiful view. Made a lot of effort for us. Very clean too! Will definitely book with them again.
Had a great time in the cute little place. kitchen a bit small but cleanliness and friendliness are absolutely top notch.
Very nice place for a weekend, but not longer. It's a bit small, but has everything you need for a weekend. Will definitely go again.
Place suited my need. Hostess friendly and helpful.
Lella from the guest house makes sure everything is in order. Nice view. Everything clean and tidy. Feel like you are at home.
For the price we paid (even though the guest house is not 5 star), the accommodation is a bargain. We were kindly received and the room with en suite bathroom was shown to us. Everything clean and tidy and the bed slept fantastically. There was also a common lounge that we could use. The view is also great.
Thank you for the nice warm room upon our arrival on a freezing cold day. Neat with everything you need for one or two nights sleepover. We can recommend Die Kruik for sure.
Very nice place for a short break. The kitchen workspace and bathroom are a bit cramped for longer term self-care. The WiFi wouldn't work and the bed could do with a headboard. The garden is very beautiful.
The place was nice and tidy.
Plekkie was everything we were looking for, not too big and not too small. The hostess was very helpful with information, etc.
Only negative was the plumbing. Pipes very noisy and could not flush the toilet without having to close and open the waterflow and the cistern.
Not worth the money especially the tiny kitchen and mattress.
The road in front of Kruik really needs attention. It is not walking distance to everything. The yard and rooms really need TLC.
Stayed in unit 3, which was clean and provided all the basics. However, it is very small, and the kitchen area is almost non-existent. Ideal for a 1 night stop over though.
Things like the toilet and water supply are not fully operational. In general, the house and the garden need renovation. I will not use the guest house again and do not recommend it either. There are better options available.
Was very clean, nice view and very good location. Friendly welcome.
We were kindly received, felt at home and had a very nice stay.
We had a great stay, quiet and peaceful environment if you just want to recharge a bit.
The host (Lella) was amazing and she made us feel very comfortable. The bedrooms were amazing. Though the kitchens were super small, especially in the bigger unit. One unit only had a bath.
Friendly reception by a dear aunt. The room was very clean and tidy. Very pleasant experience with a stunning view.
Quiet evening in a clean and tidy unit.
Will definitely go to Clarens again and stay at the Jar.
We made our own bed.
Tiny table with small bedside lamp on one side of the bed. Shower has black mold. Pillows are very uncomfortable.
The bathtub was dirty. The pipes rattle when you turn on the hot water tap. The view is very beautiful. The place is not up to standard and the bedding on the double bed had dirty marks on it.
The yard is not user friendly, stairs, high porch without railing. Rooms/kitchen/lounge very small and badly laid out. Kitchen and sitting room seem to me to have been the corridor before. Hot water boiling hot. Hot water pipes vibrate so badly that the corrugated iron roof vibrates with it, a terrible sound at night. Bath takes forever to empty. The building as a whole is poor and needs a lot of work. As mentioned not at all suitable for renting. I got a much better place for cheaper the second night.
See rating.
It is a nice place, but I need a TV in the room.
Thank you very much for your hospitality! We had a wonderful stay.
Very calm. The mountain in front of my room is soul soothing.
Very nice view of mountains and the customer service is great and the stay is particularly relaxing.
Very nice rooms for overnight and very neat and clean.
Very friendly reception, secure parking and facilities were beautifully clean. Will definitely recommend it.
Host was very friendly, accommodation with a great view.
Owner very friendly and helpful. You feel at home and at ease!
We were kindly received and Lella is a very pleasant and caring hostess! We enjoyed every moment! Thank you very much.
Lella, the owner, welcomed us and we immediately felt at home. She was available at all times. The unit was beautifully clean and tidy. Very safe. We will definitely stay there again.
Slept very well, Lella very helpful and immediately made us feel at ease.
Lovely view of the mountains.
See stars.
Nice stay, quiet and peaceful. My little girl and I were able to do our own thing. Very friendly and hospitable. Missed TV with world cup rugby but that was the least of it. Thank you for a nice stay.
Would have liked to maybe watch the odd TV show, but otherwise the view made up for it.
Stay was very pleasant, hostess very friendly and view incredible.
The owner went out of her way to make us feel welcome. The room was very neat and clean. Would recommend if you want to stay overnight. She also accommodated us with our 2 year old child. Nice view from the porch.
Perfect for guests who only want a place to sleep for one night. The rooms are small, but neat and the view from the main porch very nice. We were there during the winter so we slept wonderfully warm on electric blankets and heaters in each bedroom. If you prefer more space as a guest, Die Kruik may not be for you.
The owner was friendly and very welcoming. The room was clean and the view is amazing. I'd definitely go back again if I'm in Clarens.
Very clean, neat and friendly reception. Very nice weekend. Will go back.
The space and private entrances of rooms, spacious veranda to enjoy the view, can easily encourage one to stay longer than one night.
See stars.
Friendly reception. Unit just very small.
Very friendly service, very nice and tidy.
Lella was pleasant and we had a wonderful stay.
The owner was very friendly and we could check in at 9:00. Was kept up to date of the keys and the arrangements.
We had a breathtaking time. Awesome service and hospitality.
Thank you very much. Room was clean and tidy and we got everything we needed. View and location very good.
Will stay there again.
Well equipped and very tidy. Away from the busy town centre.
Always good at the Kruik, clean, tidy, beautiful view.
Everything was clean and tidy and the hostess friendly and pays attention to detail. However, the facilities and common lounge are old fashioned and full of tiger lantins.
Friendly welcome, neat and clean. Nice view.
Happy with the stay at Die Kruik.
My wife and I spent the night at Die Kruik and were kindly received. The room meets all the requirements as needed. We had a great stay and would recommend it with confidence.
We booked unit 2 (the unit with the shower) but upon arrival we were given unit 1 (the unit without a shower). When we inquired about the unit we were told it was the website's fault (which it wasn't at the time). The room's floors were very dirty and the room very cramped. The bed is also very uncomfortable and could do with a new mattress and bedding. The room could also do with denser curtains.
Suggest that the owner visit other guest houses to see what a guest house looks like. The toilets of an upper room's sounds can all be heard. The decor, linens etc don't even match. The "mildew" can be seen everywhere in the bathroom. Bathroom is uncomfortably small.
The people are very friendly.
The reception and general interaction with the owner was of high quality: friendly, nice conversation, nothing was a problem at the Jug. We can recommend this place, just be aware that people who have trouble getting into a bath should just inquire as our particular unit did not have a shower. A really nice time spent there, we can definitely recommend it.
Very nice view when you look out your door. Very safe and also very neat and clean. Very nice stay. Could also check in early and check out as late as we wanted the next day. Will definitely stay there again and recommend the place to others.
Die Kruik was fantastic accommodation that met all my needs. I will definitely stay in Die Kruik again in the future and do the booking through LekkeSlaap.
Good reception, rooms were tidy with everything available that you need for self-catering and a beautiful view.
See stars.
Friendly host, clean and comfortable. Will definitely be back.
When you visit Clarens it is to walk around, visit places and eat out. The sleeping and kitchen areas are cramped, but if you don't spend a lot of time there, like us, it doesn't matter at all. This is not a place for vacation. Otherwise very comfortable, clean and friendly.
Die Kruik's reception was very friendly and the facilities had everything needed for a night or two's stay. Very neat and clean.
Good service, friendly hostess.
See stars.
Very nice. Peaceful area. Fantastic view.
Hostess went out of her way to make our stay comfortable. Only thing missing was a shower.
Neat from outside, but the bed is knobby en the curtains so transparent that the outside light shines through it like daylight.
Lella, thanks for your hospitality! We had a great time! The view is amazing and the place is well-equipped, safe and the location is great.
It was incredible, had a nice stay. Walked around in the garden, which was incredibly beautiful. Sat on the patio and drank coffee. Just what you need to get away a bit. Home away from home!
Will use again in the future!
See the stars.
It was my first experience of Die Kruik and can really recommend it to anyone. One can rest wonderfully, because there is only silence there! The sunrise from bed with a cup of steaming coffee is just the most beautiful.
It is in town, but quiet. You can act as if the whole place belongs to you and have such a nice stay.
Die Kruik was beautiful. We got a warm welcome by the owner. It was warm and neat. It's a place to be visited again.
We will definitely stay here again.
Far enough from the town center noise. Have a nice time.
The accommodation was excellent and very tidy with everything you need. The owner was very hospitable and friendly. Will definitely recommend. Thank you very much for everything.
It is safe and easy to the center of Clarens
Stunning view. Peaceful and quiet. Hospitable.
Accommodation was very neat and clean. There was everything I needed. Beautiful view. Was welcomed with great hospitality. Would definitely recommend Die Kruik.
Lella was very helpful and friendly. Beautiful place and luxurious rooms. Everything we needed.
Had a great time in the neat and well-equipped unit. The owner/manager is interested in every guest and goes out of her way to make the stay pleasant and comfortable. Good value for money.
It was very nice, friendly hostess and the rooms have a very nice view.
Comfortable, clean and tidy. It is good that there is no TV in the room. One can therefore appreciate the area.
No TV and the bathroom makes it very crowded. Would have liked a sliding door in the bathroom. Would also have been nice if there could have been a TV in the room. Still, it's value for money. Very friendly hostess.
Die Kruik is very neat and has very friendly service. Space is a bit tight inside, but it doesn't matter if you just want to sleep and rest there.
Place was comfortable and well equipped. The cleanliness of the yard can be improved. The square visible through the bathroom window was untidy and unattractive.
No carport. No air conditioning. No shower - only a bath. No cup to rinse hair. Rooms only have a sliding door without windows. Have to leave the door open at night for ventilation, and then mosquitoes come in. Security?! Kitchen and bathroom (toilet space) are impractical. Access to the rooms from the outside is impractical for the elderly - even dangerous when wet. Privacy is not very good.
On our arrival the units were not ready for use, although the accommodation was confirmed by email. There is a dog that barked incessantly all night, with the result that we could get very little rest, peace or sleep.
Quiet and peaceful, just what a city person needs!
It was neat, with a nice view and nice close to Clarens Square. And it's not expensive.
The rooms are really neat, comfortable. Electric blankets, heaters, coffee and biscuits provided. Very nice, slightly outside the town centre, quiet and beautiful view, towards the mountains.
It was nice to stay there. Excellent customer service. Problems were solved immediately. We felt safe and the car was safe too. Thank you very much.
Lella goes the extra mile to accommodate her guests' needs. When it rained and we wanted to barbecue, she made her porch available... amazing!
The Jug is very good value for money. We spent 5 nights here. The room is a bit cramped, but still comfortable. The owner is very friendly and helpful. We felt very much at home and would recommend this place for a weekend getaway.
The owner is very pleasant and helpful.
No complaints. It was really nice. Just a shame it's not pet friendly.
