69 guests' feedbackA homey, peaceful, quiet and beautiful stay. Gracie is a very lovely person and very helpful. She recommended a few activities for us to try in the area and I must say we were very happy.
It is a particularly comfortable and extremely neat cottage. Everything you need is there. Grace is incredibly hospitable and yes, the rusks are as delicious as everyone says.
Our stay at Gracie's was memorable and will return there again on a next visit. The hostess went out of her way to make it as comfortable and pleasant as possible for us. Warm and friendly welcome. A 5 star plus rating. Place is painfully neat and clean. Spacious and well-equipped for a self-catering unit with a nice barbecue patio and area. Well located with secure parking.
Great accommodation. Outstanding hostess.
Beautiful and perfectly located! A hostess with a fine disposition. Biscuits from another world. Lovely linen. Homely atmosphere. Very neat and rounded. Nice close to all the paths. We hear a Piet, my wife and Diederikkies. Really a beautiful place!
The luxury cottage is perfectly located in a quiet area, where we could admire the most beautiful birdlife and enjoy the visit of domestic cats! There is easy access to a variety of hiking trails. Absolutely stunning! We will definitely visit Grace again, she is a wonderful hostess.
One of our most enjoyable stays. Nice, clean, spacious, comfortable bed and Grace, owner, incredibly hospitable. Nothing was too much trouble, and the rusk was exceptional. Highly recommended.
Hostess pleasant, friendly and helpful. Comfortable and tidy accommodation.
Gracie welcomed us very kindly, I just have to say she bakes the most delicious rusks. What a beautiful cottage with the most beautiful works of art; one simply feels at home.
Every aspect of our stay at Gracie's Cottage was top notch! The accommodation is ideal for the couple who want to be away from the noise, but still close enough to walk to the business part. It's also an ideal place to stay for grandparents if the children and grandchildren might rent a bigger place to stay elsewhere in Clarens. Grace received us warmly and spoiled us with her freshly baked rusks. The living unit is elegant, tasteful, spotlessly clean, with everything one needs during such a stay. We would love to come again!
Perfect for us! Well equipped, comfortable, peaceful. Grace is an excellent hostess; we'd have no reservation in recommending her to others.
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.
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.
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.
She immediately made us feel at home. She is very friendly and goes out of her way to give her guests the best experience.
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!
Painfully neat, cozy cottage, would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to switch off a bit and enjoy the tranquility.
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.
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!
Make sure that everything is neat and in place and make sure that her guests lack nothing. We were very impressed.
Very calm, professional service and I will definitely book again.
Was an amazing hostess! The unit was spacious and beautiful and had everything needed! The fireplace will be a bonus in the winter. Will definitely visit again.
The hostess was excellent and went out of her way to make us feel at home. It was a wedding anniversary and she had flowers, wine and chocolates for us on arrival. Thank you very much. We will definitely visit the place again and can definitely recommend it.
It was wonderful to go home there. Will definitely go there again.
We had a wonderful stay at Gracie's Cottage! Everything was as perfect as described, with a real attention to detail and a beautiful personal touch. Highly recommended.
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!
Special, equipped and beautiful accommodation.
Lovely stay in a neat and spacious cottage with a homely atmosphere. We made full use of the private stoep and braai area. Well located for nature lovers and walkers. Thank you, for your hospitable reception and kindness. We will definitely stay there again.
The cottage was gorgeous, clean and had everything we needed. It was in a lovely setting, close to town.
Enjoyable. The host brought us home-baked goodies on three occasions. That was a nice personal touch.
We had a great stay, very nice and exquisite decor. Grace is very pleasant and we felt at home.
Everything you need, heaters everywhere, electric blanket on the bed. Clarens is a very friendly town, with warm people.
It was very nice and relaxing.
It was lovely in a peaceful setting.
Unity was then reassured with everything needed.
Was a charming stay. Loved the warm and relaxed ambience of Gracies Cottage. Will certainly stay there again.
I had a wonderful stay. Very friendly and hospitable. Even more beautiful than in the photos. Beautiful outdoor garden and walking distance from the Clarens nature walking route.
Very hospitable reception. All amenities one needs. Right next to the forest for walking. Beautiful view. Animal children welcome and enjoyed it so much.
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. Our dogs are also welcome here, which was a very big bonus for us. I don't think I've ever been as comfortable as I was here and I'd like to go back again soon!
Super spacious and well-appointed. This will definitely be the place to stay on our next visit.
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.
The stay was fantastic and the customer service was amazing.
Comfortable place to attend. Close enough to places to eat and Clarens walking paths very close.
Grace is a wonderful hostess who really goes out of her way to ensure her guests are happy. The cottage is homely and a real 'go to' including for families with pets.
Great stay, an exceptional host.
Gracie's Cottage exceeded all my expectations — definitely my preference if I visit Clarens again. Thank you Grace for your hospitality.
We were received very kindly. The unit is nice and big, stylish and well furnished. Walking distance to square. Secure parking. Will definitely stay there again.
Hospitable and very neat. Nice fireplace for cold winter days and evenings. Nice big kitchen, living area and an outdoor barbecue.
Grace is a wonderful and helpful hostess. The apartment is luxurious and comfortable with everything one could possibly need, down to muesli for breakfast. Also everything needed to survive load shedding and stay warm. I can highly recommend staying here!
Fantastic accommodation and well equipped with everything you could possibly need.
Definitely worth it! Grace goes out of her way to make you feel welcome. We had a great stay, everything was there! Next time we will bring the dog children with us because it is safe for them and close to hiking trails.
We had a terrific time at Gracie's Cottage. Wish we could just move in! It far exceeded our expectations, and we already had high expectations. Very quiet environment and very close to the hiking trails. We would recommend Gracie's Cottage to anyone going to Clarens. Aunt Grace was also incredibly hospitable and went out of her way to accommodate us. We are very very grateful for that. Will stay here every time if we can.
Gracie's Cottage is away from the hustle and bustle around the square, making it peaceful and quiet. The sherry and log fire is a lovely luxury, thank you Gracie!
Gracie's Cottage is a beautiful unit that is extremely well equipped. The unit is located in a quiet area for anyone who wants to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The fireplace in the living area creates a lovely warm atmosphere in the winter. The owner of the unit was very hospitable and helpful. I can highly recommend the unit.
Friendly hostess. Cottage is beautiful, spacious and stylishly furnished. Close to hiking trails.
Friendly owner and very helpful with information about Clarens and the surrounding area.
Water is a very big problem. Little to no water with our accommodation. I believe Grace will pay attention to that.
Perfect place for overnight or a weekend getaway.
Beautiful place. Our stay was very peaceful and the unit is very neat and clean. Large room and bathroom with everything you need for self-catering. Perfect accommodation for 2 people and our 2 dog children. The hospitality, helpfulness and friendliness of the owner stand out. We had a great stay! Would stay there again without a second thought. Would recommend to anyone considering Clarens.
Hospitable and friendly!
I will definitely stay longer next time.
Fresh flowers brightened up the cottage and added a welcoming touch.
A beautiful, comfortable and well-equipped apartment/cottage with a warm, friendly and helpful hostess. Excellent value for money. One actually has to stay several days to fully enjoy the cottage.
The cottage is very nice and intimate for a couple to get away from it all. Safe area with many places to visit in the village.
Beautiful view and silence! Water was a problem but that's because the load shedding.
Gracie's Cottage feels like a second home. Everything in its place, a peaceful atmosphere, a quiet environment and a pleasant hostess. I would recommend it to anyone!
We had a great stay in Gracie's Cottage and can definitely recommend it.
Very nice to stay in with the fireplace and all the heaters that were on when we got there. Will stay there again if we go to Clarens.
