82 guests' feedbackA very pleasant experience, thank you!
Wonderful stay in the Jade room, the fireplace was most welcome with the cold weather. Would most certainly recommend and rebook if and when in the Clarens area again. Thank you.
Shane was an awesome host, checking in we were all good and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend, cute little spot just far enough from the bustle of the square and close enough to still be very convenient. We will return .
Cute little place, love the colorful theme, owner was very helpful.
It was a pleasant experience and would happily stay there again. Friendly service and comfortable rooms.
Great place - highly recommended.
We loved our stay! Our unit was very comfortable, clean and had all that we needed for a self-catering stay. Our host was very attentive and friendly - really good to meet and share his passions about life and hospitality.
Beautiful place, ideal for a break with the peaceful atmosphere! Can recommend for sure.
Very nice stay, neat and quiet. Owners very friendly and helpful.
As usual, the host was again welcoming, warm and friendly. Will always go back.
Amazing. Very magical, friendly staff.
Nice stay. TV didn't work.
Very neat place and with all the necessary requirements. Pleasant hosts and staff. Nice touch with the birthday sign.
Had a great time despite the heat wave that Clarens had. And the owner of the guest house was very helpful and considerate. Will definitely use the place again and definitely recommend.
Awesome stay. Too short as thetd was witl we needed yo attend to. . Will try and dtsy longer next time.
Had a nice stay and slept well. Sorry we couldn't sleep another night.
A very relaxing location, with helpful owners.
Was fantastic.
Friendly service with extra treats.
We had a wonderful stay. Clarens was cold, but the room and bedding were cozy and warm. The room is well-equipped and the garden, with all its beautifully decorated nooks and crannies, a loop court, even in winter. Will definitely visit again and use the braai area next time for sure.
We will definitely be making plans to stay with Gypsy again.
We would recommend Gypsy if you just want to be quiet and experience the gypsy 'camp' garden. A lot of effort was really put into showing originality.
Jade is clean and tidy and very comfortable. The fireplace in the room contributed to a very peaceful and cozy atmosphere. The swing in the big tree is delicious! Shane is a special person and made us feel very much at home. Definitely a winning resting place for the young at heart. We will definitely see Gyspy Guest House again soon.
Awesome little jewel of a place. Only spent one night there, but definitely wish it had been more. Sandy and Shane are super friendly and helpful. The rooms are unique, the garden area is amazing and the outside shower best thing ever. Would recommend this place any day of the week and definitely will return in the future.
Our stay at Gypsy Guest House was wonderful. The fireplace in our self-catering unit was a win against the icy cold that arrived overnight. The room is tastefully decorated in a Morrocan-style vibe and fits in with the Gypsy theme. We loved our semi-private stoep and braai area, however, the open-air kitchen has a full view of this stoep, therefore just semi-private.
Such a nice atmosphere outside with all the swings and paths leading to something. Very nice stay.
A peaceful and calm area with a fresh, clean setup. Beautiful scenery. Haven't slept so well in a long time. Will definitely go again. Thanks, guys.
It was a wonderful adventure.
The unit is located in a "fairy" forest. Close to town, but away from the hustle and bustle.
Great service, nature is beautiful, place is beautiful and it was very peaceful.
It was a delightful stay.
Gypsy Guest House is a great place to stay in Clarens with accommodation to suit all needs. It is far enough away from the centre of town to be able to enjoy the peace and quiet, but still within comfortable walking distance. Shane and Sandy are excellent hosts and interesting people to speak to. There are different types of accommodation including beautifully appointed gypsy wagons to camper vans, as well as traditional rooms. The grounds are fun and funky with an outdoor shower and a swing and various other interesting features. The self catering rooms are well appointed with everything you need. You can either braai at the lapa or if you want, they will bring a braai to your stoep. . If in Clarens, we will definitely stay there again.
The room with somewhat exotic decoration was very nice and extremely comfortable!
Made to feel very welcome by Sandy, Shane, Bokser and Kietsie. The special gypsy atmosphere resonated with the wanderers in us. Caring like offering boiling water during load shedding, washing the car. Relax after an 11 hour drive in a hot tub. The coffee and biscuits were very welcome. Special garden with the gypsy houses.
No problems, met expectations well.
We were received very kindly and the host showed us around, after which we could explore the village and come back for a lovely massage and even any spasms and sports injuries can be done here. The atmosphere is really very relaxed and you literally shut down when you can relax in the beautiful leafy garden. It's not just a guest house but therapy for your soul.
Thank you very much for a wonderful weekend and your hospitality.
Nice place. But it needs a generator. Loadshedding times it's just dark and boring.
Staff so friendly, clean and very comfortable unit with a little fantasy added. Lovely close to the town square, lovely stay.
Friendly, hospitable host.
Will definitely go again.
We enjoyed our stay. Everything was what we expected. Our host was very kind and polite.
It's exactly like in the photos. Cozy with nice goodies.
It's beautiful, the host is so friendly, he makes you feel so special, wow.
What an amazing stopover stay this was. The room was wonderful, neat and cozy! The gardens were peaceful and the service made us feel at home. Will certainly visit again.
Beautiful place with incredibly beautiful garden and very nice people. Will definitely stay there again.
The decor is so beautiful and colourful, and we loved our stay there. There are even real Gypsy caravans to stay in as well, which are so unusual and beautiful! The gardens are beautiful too. Lovely and friendly hospitality as well. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends and family.
From the moment we arrived at Gypsy we felt at home and Sandy informed us in no time where to go and what we could do in Clarens. We enjoyed it very much. The time was just too short.
We needed the short break. The guest house was willing to accommodate us for just one night. It felt like we were family and had known the owners for years. The facilities were nice and clean and we felt very much at home. We will definitely visit there again.
Unfortunately we only booked 1 night but I could stay there for a week. Sandy and team, it was great you are so helpful, we will see you soon.
Everything neat and clean.
We really loved our stay at Gypsy. Our room was simply gorgeous and I marveled at the detail and use of color at the guest house. Sandy was attentive, friendly and helpful. The garden is gorgeous and the Gypsy wagons looked simply divine. It was a treat to encounter such lovely service and creativity. I wished that we could stay longer. We were very comfortable.
The room was very tidy with everything we needed for the two days.
Felt very welcome, especially the freshly picked flowers in the unit. Everything was done with care. Thank you Sandy and Jana.
This was one od the nicest guesthouses I have stayed in for a very long time!
See stars.
Bed was uncomfortable.
Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Comfortable and friendly welcome.
Very friendly reception. The stay was everything we expected and more. Would highly recommend them.
Will recommend gypsy Guest House to anyone! The room was very neat and spacious. There is alot of effort put into everything. Sandy is an absolute sweetheart, she made us feel very welcomed.
From the first moment we saw the web page, we knew this was going to be an adventure. Sandy is a wonderful hostess and she made every moment comfortable and special for us.
We loved Gypsy guest house. It was a perfect walking distance away from Clarens square. Great setting for a fun yet relaxing weekend.
As the town is small everything is within walking distance. The stay suited our needs for the one night but would be ideal for longer stays.
Appreciate the fact that they also contacted us ahead of time to welcome us and give directions. Jana met us there and showed us around. Also provided us with a portable braai at our cottage. Met Sandy, the owner, the morning of our departure. Really nice people and would stay there again.
We had a great time in very neat rooms.
Sandy and her team manage to capture Clarens' artistic atmosphere uniquely in the otherness of the Gypsy guest house.
An exceptional experience. Wonderful, helpful staff.
Baie vriendelik, mooi huisie, lekker gebly daar! Sal definitief altyd by die Gypsy Guest House bly as ons Clarens toe gaan.
The Gypsy Guest House is very safe, in a scenic environment and the tranquility there allows you to relax comfortably. It was good for my heart and soul!
What a lovely and magical experience! I would gladly visit Clarens again just to stay at the Gypsy Guest House. Beautiful rooms, lovely gardens and absolutely excellent service. Highly recommended! Thank you so much Sandy. And thank you Henry for the wonderful experience.
The best service ever. The quality is the best and the additional services that is presented is top shelf. Sandy, you have something special to present to clients, a job that is well done. Good luck with your gypsy wagons, people will enjoy them. Thank you again for the dinner arrangement, we enjoyed it.
What a jewel of a place. Nice and quiet and clean. Wonderful staff. Even washed our car! I would definitely recommend the Gypsy Guesthouse.
Gypsy Guest House in Clarens was the perfect place for me to get away with my husband on our wedding anniversary. It was peaceful en an absolute lovely place. My husband and I would definitely make use of Gypsy Guest House again and will bring along more people next time. Thank you Henry and Sandy!
Clean and friendly!
Beautiful colored walls, unusual old chandeliers, a door to the garden and a very friendly, professional landlady, make a stay at Gypsy Gastehuis a must for any traveller. Everything that needs to work works well and we were offered a shortcut to our room due to my fellow traveler who has difficulty walking. We have now found our place to stay in Clarens and can't wait for a next visit.
Know they are busy with renovations, but it was very peaceful, pleasant. Will visit again.
Hoewel ons net een aand hier oorgeslaap het was ons veral beïndruk met die gasvryheid en vriendelike verwelkoming deur Henry. Ons eenheid was gerieflik en skoon met heerlike beddegoed. Vol vrolike juweelkleure! Ons kan nie wag om terug te keer en langer tyd hier deur te bring nie. Baie dankie Sandy en span, julle is besig om 'n wonderlike, magiese plek te ontwikkel!
Welcome reception by hostess. Thank you for delicious biscuits, coffee, tea, milk and sugar that were put out. Very good rate.
Excellent value for money! The units were renovated recently and it's fantastic. It is new owners who works very hard to upgrade everything. The last few units should also be done soon. Very friendly and hospitable. We will definitely be back again.
The stay was wonderful. Bedding and towels and carpets were soft and clean. Just make sure kitchen and living area are included in the reservation, apparently it was an "added bonus" when we got there. The location is fantastic, close to everything, yet peaceful and very quiet. We suspect there is a bit of a problem with the toilets, there is a bad stench at night. Overall very nice stay and will go back again. Thank you Sandy and Henry.
Friendly service, cute decor and lovely visit, discover garden.
We stayed in the 3-bedroom unit. It's not upgraded yet like the other units. Didn't have a sink for dishes. When it's done it would be a great stay.
