83 guests' feedbackVery cute place will go again.
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.
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.
Cozy and nice stay. The fireplace makes it nice and warm in front of the house and with load shedding, the fireplace was ideal for Clarens in the winter.
I would like to wake up every morning in such a room with such a view. bliss!
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.
Outrageous, but fair for the price and location.
The accommodation is in the heart of the town, with a beautiful view to the mountains.
We had the most wonderful time at Golden View Luxury Self-Catering. The view was out of this world and the sitting area kept us busy with a crackling fire that burned all evening. Would highly recommend!
Another very nice week in Clarens. The accommodation definitely added value to our week. Thank you for the friendly service and also assistance with items that were left there.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Golden View. Such amazing views and especially while having a fire going in the pit braai. The town square is within walking distance and was easy enough to walk with the kiddies through the town.
I loved our stay here. The house is beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. My favourite spot was the patio looking at the huge weeping willow near the fire pit, and looking at the peach blossoms. The linen was lovely, beds were so comfortable and I was at peace here. Thank you for a gorgeous stay.
It is a charming town that has a lot to offer.
Love self-catering unit. Will definitely come back to stay overnight at Golden View.
Beautiful place with friendly people.
Layout was good. Nice place to rest and find peace for the soul.
Very nice stay. Many thanks to the Golden View team.
A very nice house with a very nice outside area for 8 people to barbecue and chat. Large kitchen, nice rooms and bathrooms. Nice view and when the sun goes down you know why it is 'golden view'. Terribly nice two evenings with family.
One of the few times where the photos accurately resemble the accommodation. Delightful little place, lovely view and close to town. We could easily have stayed much longer.
Beautiful, neat place, incredibly beautiful and best view in the world. Thanks to Lizelle for all the information and direction! Will definitely stay here again and recommend to everyone.
Such a neat and creative place. Unique! We will go there again for sure.
Lovely to stay there with the children, beautiful view and well equipped.
Place is very clean and tidy with a very nice view. All the amenities one needs are there. The only downside is the house above you you can hear everything below and it can be very noisy especially if they are not quiet after 10h00.
Hassle free. Walking distance from town. Beautiful interior that was clean and tidy. Very impressed!
It was very good value for money. The most beautiful view and a wonderful, peaceful atmosphere.
The house has a great living area, beautiful clean and really nice place.
Rustic Red is a beautiful room big enough for two. We would have preferred to have a television just to be able to lie down and relax in the evening, but nevertheless we had a good time and were well welcomed by the Golden View team.
Beautiful place! Super modern and very clean. Decor particularly beautiful.
We had a pleasant stay at this spacious and well-equipped apartment with a large garden. In walking distance to the centre of Clarens, with many nice restaurants and shops.
Thank you for having such an awesome getaway. I would really recommend this place. Really worth the money.
Quiet, clean, beautiful, exactly as it was advertised.
The accommodation was neat, well furnished and the staff friendly.
We were very happy with the stay at Golden View and wouldn't have it any other way. I was blown away with the look & feel of the rustic items and this comes from an interior designer. Any bachelor's dream. Thanks again to the website!
2 Families with 4 adult children had a lovely stay. Plenty of room for everyone, clean, neat and very friendly staff. Sunny rooms with nice views. The fireplace worked overtime. Very good braai area too.
Had a lovely stay. Were 2 families with 2 children each that stayed, and could have a good time inside. Well equipped against the cold too. All complaint was that we could hear the TV quite loudly from downstairs where we had to sleep.
Very well appointed and cozy. The view over the beautiful plains is a bonus.
I haven't stayed in a place so well equipped in a long time! It's cozy, and it's beautiful! Wish I could stay there for a week!
Good service, clean, pretty, neat and spaciousness got a new meaning here. We were really surprised by what we received. The staff was friendly and very helpful from start to finish. The beautiful view was just a bonus. Here you get more than just the necessary cutlery, on the contrary, you can choose from various glasses, plates, etc. Something for every occasion. Will definitely book here again.
My sister and I stayed in the Rustic Red Studio for 3 nights. The communication and service was very good since we arrived and the room exceeded all of my expectations. The view is breathtaking - even better than on the photos. The facilities in the room are clean, neat and well-equipped and it is very tranquil if you sit outside in the evening.
Was peaceful and private. Studio equipped with everything we needed. Would book at Golden View again anytime, thanks!
Was very nice and peaceful, just missed an AC, but otherwise everything was perfect, thank you very much.
The unit is beautiful and well-maintained. We enjoyed our anniversary due to the location being close to the square, but far enough to be quiet. The list of places you can eat at also helped a lot. Thanks so much.
Golden View is far enough from Clarens' square to find tranquility, but close enough to walk. The apartment above the Red Studio did make a lot of noise with the people walking around, but otherwise what a great peaceful weekend.
The container home was quite different, the north sun was shining in the unit for the cold winter days and was conveniently within walking distance of the town. No TV, but the kids also learn that TV is not everything. Large enough for a family of 4 and the two single beds for the children were ideal.
First visit to Clarens. The stay was exactly what we expected. Appreciated the tranquility. We are already planning our next visit to Clarens.
We stopped for 1 night on our way home from the coast. It was so nice in the Rustic Red studio that we didn't want to drive the next day! We were particularly impressed by the view and unique decor. We will definitely visit again and for longer.
Our SatNav took us to this venue through the 'wrong' side of town. What a delightful surprise when we arrived!
Although the Rustic unit is clean and pleasant (inside), the location is unacceptable for the price and general safety of visitors - especially if the owners do not inform intended visitors ahead of time that the accommodation is located right next to the informal settlement. The view from the kitchen window offers a wonderful view of the mountains (if you look to the left), but on the right you get the view of the informal settlement and needy residents (not ideal for someone who wants to enjoy his vacation). Furthermore, we feel cheated by the directions given. As per given directions, you drive through Clarens to get to the unit (possibly to avoid the informal settlement and its proximity to Golden View). But if you follow the GPS coordinates, you drive through the informal settlement to get to the unit. A very different experience if you come from the other direction. Furthermore, the unit is a converted garage, with another unit above you. No problem with this if it is clearly indicated on their website, but a big shock when you get there and what was supposed to be a peaceful getaway, turned into a noise of footsteps and running children - all night long. Furthermore, it was requested that we set the alarm on and off, but there is no indication whether the alarm is on or off. This resulted in the alarm going off all the time, and the security company having to come out to the premises unnecessarily each time. Because of the above and because we felt unsafe, we went home a day earlier. This leaves the question: how reliable are the online reviews of the particular accommodation and those who market it on their website.
Very nice place, awesome.
The place is very clean great view of the mountains, and great service and response to mails and telephone calls. Peace, quiet and tranquility.
We really enjoyed our time at Golden View Luxury Self Catering. This place exceeded all our expectations. The place was so incredibly beautiful, and tidy. We definitely plan to go back and have already recommended it to family and friends. Stunning place!
Very clean and neat, good service, creative and arty. Will definitely go again.
A great guesthouse. We were in Rustic Red Studio and we really like the decor. Will come again in the future.
See stars.
Our accommodation was fantastic! Close to the shops and restaurants, very clean and neat and comfortable. What you see on the photos is what you get. Our stay was a good experience! Golden View will definitely see us again soon.
Will definitely return, it's really good value for money now. The place is very beautiful with everything you would need.
Golden View Luxury Self Catering was the perfect first stop on our honeymoon! We stayed in the Rustic studio. Everything was clean and tidy, and the place is beautiful, modern, full of character and equipped with everything we needed. Although the owners do not live on site they gave us easy instructions to obtain our room keys. There were daily cleaners who kept our rooms tidy and washed our bedding. They were very helpful and friendly and also helped us wash our own clothes. The kitchen and porch have a beautiful view of the Drakensberg, and especially the sunrise over the mountains in the morning. We spent quite a few mornings on the porch. The municipal road that leads to the cottage is a dirt road (like the rest of the roads in Clarens) and was slightly washed out, but not too bad that we couldn't pass it with a small car. The owners were more than willing to help us over the phone with advice on attractions and restaurants in the area. We spent a lovely few nights at Golden View and it was hands down one of the highlights of our honeymoon. I would recommend the place to anyone, especially a couple looking for a peaceful getaway.
A beautiful located, clean and comfortable stay.
Very satisfied with the accommodation. Everything was neat, clean and peaceful. Just note that the wooden floors in the unit above the Rustic Red cause quite a disturbance.
A cosy studio unit that encourages you to put aside technology, day-planners and to-do lists and give yourself a break from all of the bustle. It's clean with a comfortable bed and enough kitchen utensils and accessories! We will most definitely book here again!
My husband and I took our daughter, her husband and child along. It was a great spoil for them. We all enjoyed it very much and were absolutely delighted with the beautiful, spacious rooms. The kitchen is fully equipped. Everything was very clean, comfortable and the scenery contributed to a great time at Golden View. We strongly recommend it and will stay here again. Thank you very much.
Clean and tidy. Security not so good, with no burglar bars on windows, can't open windows in the evening.
We enjoyed the personal touches. There was coffee and tea and even milk in the fridge. Beautifully decorated with love.
Lovely place in Clarens, will come and rest here again one day.
It was a pleasant stay although time passed too quickly. We stayed in the cottage and were so comfortable. The decor is incredible, the bed is so comfortable, and the view is breathtaking. It feels like a home away from home and we had such a fantastic weekend there! We will definitely be back again, thank you Jolena for your hospitality, for the phenomenal accommodation and free breakfast at the Courtyard (Jane). Their service was excellent.
Golden View is located at the best destination ever, when you sit on the porch early in the morning, you look directly at the majestic mountains surrounding Clarens. The house is very modern, tidy and fully equipped. What an indescribable experience and adventure we experienced at this beautiful place. Thank you very much, we will definitely visit again.
Everything was excellently organized upon our arrival. Everything was right and in place, as described. Would recommend for future visitors. Parking can be better.
We had a wonderful stay at Golden View Luxury Self Catering guest house.
Loved the interior. Amazing view!
Very nice place. Decor is beautifully done. Everything you need is there.
The owner Jolena was lovely to deal with and very helpful. The place is perfect if you have young children. Rooms very comfortable and staff were friendly and did a good cleaning job.
The stay was exactly what we expected. The unit is well equipped with everything one needs.
I was in the red room, or rather 'studio'. It was so cold you couldn't sit outside to look at the mountains, because from inside on the bench right next to the heater where it was nice in front of you you only see the blue sky through the window which is too high. The beautiful photo was taken from outside. I would have taken one of the other rooms instead, I think this one is a bit cramped.
In very good condition. Everything that one would like to use.
View of Clarens is always a winner!
Haven't stayed in such a clean/tidy accommodation for a long time. It exceeded all our expectations. Will go back again for sure.
Had everything we needed and very tidy.
Neat and modern. Slightly unpractical regarding security and privacy. The apartment at the bottom will be disturbed by any movement whatsoever from the apartments at the top.
I'm glad that more places like this are coming up now, I mean more sustainable places that don't consume a lot of energy, that are a little more green, but still remain comfortable. The cottage had everything we needed and was perfect for a family of 4 for a longer weekend. Would definitely recommend it. Thank you very much.
The place is way overpriced for what you get. There is a problem with the shower outlet as well as the gas geyser which did not work.
