44 guests' feedbackFantastic nice place to stay and would definitely recommend them! Close to the hiking trails, the most beautiful view, walking distance from the town, the most beautiful owner. The rooms are nicely furnished. Have stayed there 2 times now and it remains an unforgettable visit.
The place is fantastic. You walk in and you can see that the people have an eye for detail and everything you will need. Neatly finished and stunning room. Very friendly welcome and cute animals on the premises (a beautiful dog and 3 loving cats). The location is perfect - close to everything and far enough to be able to take in the tranquility of nature and go on the hiking trails that are just behind the yard along the water stream and mountain. Will definitely stay there again. Also close to the sandstone church that has service on Sunday mornings.
Very neat unit, and friendly hostess.
Was ideal for what we wanted to do in Clarens and surroundings. We were well looked after and also enjoyed the animals. Very nice location.
We had a wonderful stay. The house is spacious and well equipped. The fireplace was lovely! The house is close to lovely walking trails and within walking distance of the town. We will definitely go back and definitely recommend Meander Stay.
Madeleine is a wonderful hostess, made us feel very much at home.
We had a wonderful stay. The place to stay was beautiful and exactly like the pictures. Madelein was very hospitable and helpful. We will definitely stay there again.
Will definitely stay there again. Was rest for the soul.
Lovely host, perfect location.
One of the nicest places I've visited recently. The hospitality was excellent. Will definitely visit again.
Yes, we did. Your son was amazing, and we loved your fur babies as well.
Very neat place, very nice visit, will definitely go back again.
Lovely room, beautifully decorated. Very comfortable and has everything you need. Perfect location. Peaceful and relaxing. Absolutely wonderful hostess. All information required for the area was supplied before arrival and on arrival as well. Would definitely recommend.
Very neat, modern and clean accommodation. Comfortable beds with quality linen. We are sorry the weather was not cold enough to make use of the fireplace, which is a lovely feature to the unit. Centrally located, nearby restaurants (walking distance). Lovely conservancy to explore literally through the garden gate at a small conservancy fee. Lovely view of the mountain from the deck. Safe and peaceful.
Amazing, most friendly people.
Accommodation was perfectly located with one of Clarens' breathtaking walking routes starting right in front of the premises. Host and hostess had been first class.
The host is an amazing host! My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Rosemary Suite. We will definitely be returning!
Stunning rooms, beautiful views and close to town centre.
Meander Stay's self-catering units are beautiful and well appointed. The view of the mountain is breathtaking and just outside our unit was the gate to a variety of hiking trails. The route is very beautiful to look at by the residents.
Everything is in great condition and tidy, and the beautiful garden and quick access to the town is a safe place. Hostess is very helpful and makes an effort to make sure you have a good time.
We had a delightful stay with Madeleine who is a great host and has thought of everything when equipping the apartments. The area is quiet, safe, just a short walk from the shops and restaurants and right next to the conservancy for those who would like to explore the beautiful area. There is a park run in the conservancy on a Saturday morning which one can join in on. I would highly recommend Meander Stay!
We had an incredibly nice stay. The place is centrally located and walking distance from almost everything. Everyone is incredibly hospitable.
We had a wonderful stay, thank you very much for your hospitality and all your effort. A comfortable sofa on the veranda to enjoy the view, coffee and a book will be wonderful in the future.
It was the best stay we had in a long time. The space in the unit is big enough and comfortable. Close to the town centre and the hiking trails. Beautiful view, peaceful.
Nice friendly, good location near walks and just far enough from the centre of the village.
Meander Stay, made in paradise, everything was magical. The host and hostess are very friendly and helpful.
We had a very nice stay. Meander Stay is very centrally located in town and also has direct access to great walking routes. The place is well equipped and tidy.
Meander Stay is nice and cozy on the mountain with lots of walking paths and also close enough to walk to shops and restaurants.
Some sort of soundproofing should be installed as we could hear our neighbours the entire time. A TV would also be lovely.
What a fantastic 1st time visit for us as a family with our small dog! We felt so welcome and were received with open arms. Even our dog was spoilt! Clean, homely, warm bedding, fireplace, and a great location!
This spot was perfect for a couple! We missed our fireplace/electric blankets but were there for 2 nights only. Other units did have a fireplace. Amazing hosts and we will definitely be back!
Value for money where your soul rests with beautiful mountain views and very stylish accommodation.
It is really very private and the view is very nice because the accommodation is on the side of the town. There is also a nice walking trail and stream that is adjacent.
The units are very neat and private. The owners friendly and helpful. We were received with open arms. Thank you very much!
Meander Stay is the perfect place for a break in Clarens. Neat, clean and walking distance from the shops. The owner is friendly, professional and very helpful. It exceeded all our expectations, thank you very much.
It's the little things that make a big difference, the fresh milk, cherries and Clarens beer in the fridge on arrival. Warm, friendly care. Summer in Clarens was breathtakingly beautiful. The hiking trails are rest for the soul.
The location is idyllic and perfect. Quiet and peaceful and walking distance to all the shops. The walking paths are exceptional, not to mention the mountain view. Amazing hospitality, way more than expected with everything we needed and more for a week's heavenly stay. The animals are very special and steal one's heart immediately. Wish we could have stayed longer and would return anytime.
Quiet location but so close to town centre that we never bothered with the car. The only minor detraction is the WiFi connection was very poor so ended up relying on cellular data which did have very good reception.
We were warmly welcomed from the start, which only got better when we stepped into the LemonThyme unit. Beautiful and neat with an incredible view of the mountain. Perfect location: walking distance from the square, but far enough to not hear anything from there. I will definitely stay there again on my next Clarens trip.
We were very hospitably welcomed. Just felt at home. Accommodation meets requirements and very cute porch with built-in gas grill from which the view is beautiful looking at the mountain with beautiful trees.
It was one of those best weekends away for us. My cousins and I are very close, and discovered this wonderful place. It is far enough from the town that the hustle and bustle does not disturb you, but close enough that you can reach anywhere within 10 minutes on foot. It is peaceful, clean, warm and the ideal resting place with the most beautiful view of the mountains from the veranda. Located at the foot of a mountain, it provides hiking trails right on your doorstep. Really a wonderful place. Madeleine is so welcoming and friendly, she really "spoiled" us, as the English say, with wood for the fireplace, milk in the fridge, a tin full of biscuits and enough blankets for Africa. We really enjoyed it, it was honestly rest for the soul.
We had a great time with our dog who enjoyed it with us, walking distance to shops, restaurants and art galleries. Hiking trails literally on the back porch. Cottage very well furnished with lovely fireplace and warm blankets.
Great hospitality and the owner was very friendly.
Just a few tips for future guests: 1. The kitchen needs some crockery (especially glasses). 2. The kitchen also needs a broom and more dish soap. 3. More toilet paper is required for 4 guests for 3 nights. 4. Builders across the road made us feel uncomfortable, to the point where we had to close the curtain because they were staring into our room while we were fixing up. We understand the owner has nothing to do with it, just wanted to bring it to their attention. We enjoyed this little place so much, it was such a pleasure to stay at Meander stay! The board games were so fun!
