"Just what we were looking for."

Perfect for us! Well equipped, comfortable, peaceful. Grace is an excellent hostess; we'd have no reservation in recommending her to others.

"Lovely!"

We loved our stay at Gracie's Cottage. The venue is in a quiet area of Clarens, but a quick walk into town and also great for great walks in the countryside. Grace is a wonderful host. We had small dogs with us and although the property is fenced, she made it safer for our escape artists. Will definitely go back there when travelling just 2 people.

"Gracie, you are a 10 out of 10."

One of the best guesthouses in the country we have stayed at. Fully equipped. Efforts have been made to accommodate guests as comfortably as possible.

"Quiet, peaceful and serene with some sherry waiting on arrival."

Already packed wood in fireplace, coffee, sugar, and even some emergency supplies like Eno, Rennies, etc. Also, shampoo and shower gel in the bathroom - not things you would expect from a self-catering place. Top marks for making you feel welcome.

"We were kindly welcomed. The place was neat and clean. Will visit again."

She immediately made us feel at home. She is very friendly and goes out of her way to give her guests the best experience.

"Warm hospitality in the cold, beautiful Clarens!"

Below freezing temperatures were offset with warm hospitality. Grace did everything possible to make our few days in Clarens as comfortable as possible. Gracie's Cottage is neat, spacious, warm and peaceful. Small things are important and appreciated, nice biscuits, quality plunger coffee, heaters, electric blanket etc etc. Thank you Grace, we had such a nice stay!

"The cottage exceeded our expectations."

Painfully neat, cozy cottage, would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to switch off a bit and enjoy the tranquility.

"Comfortable, peaceful, well-equipped, ideal getaway."

We had a wonderful stay! Peaceful, comfortable, and everything we needed for a quiet and relaxing weekend away. The host is fantastic, and the complimentary rusks are delicious. We don't have pets, but they are welcome at the accommodation too.

"Fantastic."

We were very kindly received by Grace. The accommodation was more than we expected. Cold front clearly passing through Clarens. We slept nice and warm with electric blankets and a carpet in the living room that was heated under our feet. It was cozily warm and we literally had everything one would need at their own place to stay. Will definitely recommend. Will stay there again.

Perfect cottage for anything from a one-nighter to a long stay in Clarens. Everything you need, with direct access to the town's hiking trails. Wonderful!

"Gracie's Cottage is the best getaway you can make to Clarens!"

Gracie's Cottage is a must if you want to have a nice and safe visit with your spouse. It is close to all the hiking trails for safe and easy walking. We visited with our 2 Boston Terriers and couldn't have asked for a better place to sleep with all the doors open. It is tidy and has everything you need and more! Grilling, cooking, it doesn't matter! Als is there for a nice visit. And what a beautiful home! It was like a fairy tale and so nice and quiet in the upper town, away from the hustle and bustle. You wake up there as a new person and simply forget about the hustle and bustle of the city! Silence and only the sounds in the morning to entertain you. 2 nights is definitely too little, you always want to stay longer and please do so. if you can! We have stayed in Clarens many times, but Gracie's Cottage will surely see us again soon! And Grace, you are a better and more wonderful person than the presentations could prepare us for! You arrive there as a traveler, and drive away feeling like family! Well done! You can't find your place and your care anywhere else! Just what we City people need for a getaway!

On arrival at the accommodation we were kindly greeted by Grace. I will always recommend her and it is now our favorite place to go in Clarens.

"Lovely place. Only stayed one night, but could very easily stay longer."

Super spacious and well-appointed. This will definitely be the place to stay on our next visit.

"Safe and carefree getaway in beautiful surroundings."

This is not the first time I have stayed here. Although I was very satisfied during my previous stay, the owner put so much effort into upgrading the internet, electricity and water. It is an absolute pleasure to stay there. It is a quiet, safe environment and a very well equipped unit.
