131 guests' feedbackWe received a warm and friendly welcome from Riaan. The rooms were very comfortable and warm. Both families really enjoyed the stay, and the warm fire and sherry were perfect during the evening.
Very nice stay. Good, quiet location. Would recommend it.
Lovely accommodation in a beautiful area. The host was great and helpful. The only complaint - the 'Attic' where we stayed was extremely comfortable and cozy upstairs, but downstairs the kitchen and bathroom were unbearably cold. It was borderline unpleasant. A heater or some kind of heating downstairs would make a big difference.
As self-catering, a very small kitchen, but this was no problem for us because we only had to prepare breakfast. Friendly host, nice room furnished with many old things.
Very nice stay, with a private outside braai and a fireplace in the house. Create a very nice and 'cozy' atmosphere and just walking distance from the town.
Very nice spot. Out of the hustle of the town. Close to some walking and cycling trails. Very friendly host who was always just there when you needed him.
We had a great stay and switched off. Service is very good. Place is beautiful, peaceful, and by the mountain, a bit out of the hustle and bustle of the upper town. But still close enough if you want to walk around or eat out.
Riaan was very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend Mont Rouge to anyone who just wants to enjoy a quiet weekend getaway. The view of the mountains is breathtakingly beautiful.
Room upgrade thanks. Enjoyable stay and found the town now hectic busy as midweek. Accommodation was good, sadly needing some cleaning. Microwave and oven could do with a clean.
We would love to stay at Mont Rouge again. And will tell friends and family.
Close to town. Great host.
Riaan is very pleasant and helpful with everything. We will definitely go again and recommend people. Riaan accompanied us on walking routes and made recommendations of places to visit in the area. Very pleasant people and service is very good.
Our stay at Mont Rouge was very pleasant and exactly what we wanted to make our stay comfortable.
Was kindly received and our immediate needs taken care of. Comfortable room with everything we needed was provided.
Peaceful and quiet. Room was lovely and equipped for the cold weather.
Mont Rouge has a breathtaking view of the mountain and has what can only be described as divine peace. My little girl was able to move around the site without worrying about her safety. The children's play area kept her busy, and can be seen from the cottage's porch.
Quiet area for rest and relaxation. Walking trails a stone's throw away.
We were pleasantly surprised with a sparkling swimming pool and a comfortable braai area. We really enjoyed our time at Mont Rouge. Thank you!
Everything nice and clean, everything is right and works. Riaan is super helpful. The fireplace does not smoke into the room at all! Perfect!
Unit is neat, clean and well equipped. Beautiful mountain view.
The house rotted from the smoke. Everything was full of smoke, the sheets, the curtains and the towels.
Veilig, mooi omgewing.
Mont Rouge is idyllic - close to town and on the hiking trails - highly recommended.
The venue provided everything needed, and more.
Fantastic place, nice, finished with wood and clean.
Really value for our money.
Beautiful, clean residential units, with a well-kept garden. Friendly welcome by the owner who made us feel very much at home.
Close enough to Clarens Square, but the dirt road is a little rough for low cars.
We loved Clarens and our location was a short walk to the village square and restaurants. The staff and management Riaan were so friendly and helpful. Our accommodation in The Attic was really beautiful and suited our family. Will come back for sure and let friends know.
Family friendly, good location, friendly and helpful management, beautifully decorated and spacious family unit. We will certainly be back.
This wasn't my first time at Mont Rouge, and it certainly won't be my last. Booking through the website was simple, easy and effortless. The room was comfortable, bathrooms clean and practical. Good value for money. The staff are friendly, accommodating and efficient. The atmosphere in and around the rooms is peaceful, with a breathtaking view of the Rooiberg.
Our unit was very nice and tidy. The location is in a beautiful, quiet area of town, against the mountain.
Nice to walk around town and visit places. The children loved walking in the forest path on the west side.
We had a great stay. The location is perfect - right next to the start of the walking trails, as well as a short walk from the restaurants and shops. The cottage (Daisy) is tastefully furnished and met all our expectations. We would definitely recommend Mont Rouge!
Riaan was the perfect host and was available anytime via WhatsApp. We stayed in the Jukebox and had a great time on the porch and had a barbecue. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to cook yourself. The decor is eclectic and adds to the nice atmosphere. The guest house is located in a quiet area of the town with the most beautiful view of the mountain.
Riaan goes out of his way to make sure you have everything you need. Really enjoyed the stay! Would definitely recommend!
It was a very nice weekend. Nice relaxing, and the most beautiful view. Thank you very much Mont Rouge and staff.
If you want to rest, this is the place. Neat and clean.
What a lovely place, we had such a nice stay and had the most beautiful view of the mountains. The house was lovely and was tastefully done. We will definitely want to stay there again.
Beautiful unit. Host is very friendly. Unit is clean and neat. Very satisfied.
Sal dit aanbeveel vir almal.
Gastvrije locatie. Ze hebben voor ons tegen betaling een picknick pakket verzorgd. Het was overvloedig en zeer compleet. Een echte aanrader om dit te doen als je naar het Krugerpark gaat. Goede tips gehad. Ook een uitgebreid ontbijt met verse producten.
Riaan very nice and friendly. Had a great rest. They go out of their way to make you feel at home.
Friendly and welcome reception. Spacious and very well decorated. Centrally located and close to the center.
The place has recently undergone renovation and it's really beautiful. Beautiful view of the mountains with beautiful nature.
We stayed at the Attic, which was very clean, beds were comfortable, the staff was friendly, and Deirdre, the owner, made us feel at home. My friends and I will definitely come back here again. It is in walking distance to the main town centre, so after we arrived, we never had to use our car again. Clarens was just fantastic, so much to do there. We can't wait to come back again.
Mont Rouge is a unique place to stay. We slept in the Attic. Very special attention has been paid to detail. The place is neat, well laid out and cosy. The accommodation contributed to a wonderful rest and relaxation weekend!
It's a clean, well-equipped and nice looking place in a good location.
Mooi plek in 'n pragtige omgewing. Eerste besoek aan Clarens en danksê Monte Rouge kom ons weer.
Nice environment, friendly staff and modern place.
We absolutely loved the weekend stay at Mont Rouge. It is a lovely place and recent upgrades makes the place a must go. You get more than what you pay for and they have something that suites all types of clients. We will visit again without a doubt.
Room was clean, people are friendly and their rooms are well equipped.
Friendly service and clean facilities. The fridge was a bit small for a place that accommodates 6 people but everything else was great and comfortable, felt like home.
Beautiful accommodation and it was so tranquil. Enjoyed the stay.
Nice units and nice stay the long weekend. Erf is just untidy and messy, because there is an extension.
We really enjoyed the clean and comfortable layout of the accommodation. Appreciation for the creative interior decoration, quality beds, towels and bedding.
We had a very nice stay. The place was very clean and beautifully decorated. We really enjoyed ourselves.
We really enjoyed the break. Location ideal - no noise just silence. People also very nice and friendly.
Bedding above average. Extra effort when it was cold.
Really a very neat place and true value for money.
Recommend Mont Rouge as clean, tidy and safe accommodation. We had a great time there.
Many thanks for Riaan's helpfulness and kindness. The Lognest was clean and tidy. Quiet and peaceful when you want to get away for a weekend, as we did. I will book there again.
Riaan is very helpful, friendly. When we asked for something there was no hesitation on his side. Nothing was unimportant for him to attend to. Recommended stay for sure.
This place is great value for money - everything was clean and has a beautiful view from your room.
Had a wonderful stay over Christmas. Thank you for good and friendly service!
Mont Rouge with Riaan at the helm is an escape like few, wonderful view with only the wind through the leaves and chirping birds, we stayed in Hakkuna Matata (big rondavel) for 3 nights. There is so much to do in Clarens that you are hardly at home. Electric gate gives you the freedom to come and go as you please. Well equipped kitchen where we made breakfast every morning, what more could you want than to return on a next trip.
Cosy place with friendly reception and just the necessities for one night stay while you're on the road.
Mont Rouge is a peaceful location that I've never experienced before. It is peaceful and quiet and separate from other units. I highly recommend it to people that need rest.
See stars.
Will definitely stay there again if we go to Clarens again. Was very nice and very beautiful.
Good value for money and friendly staff!
The location is ideal. Quiet environment yet close to the eateries and shops you want to visit. On the walking trails of the town! What a pleasant surprise. Would love to see the residence after it is painted as owner plans. A little maintenance inside on walls and outside on the woodwork will make the place outstanding.
Very nice place for a night's stay over. Only problem was not with the one cottage that had burned down a week before but the space between the cottage and our log cabin. There is not a lot of space at the entrance to the cabin. This was not conveyed on the website and thus the obstructed view of the mountains was not expected.
Place was adequate for one night, everything we needed was there.
Reception was reasonable. Room furnished with furniture, etc. from the years toot. Will not stay there again.
Was thoroughly convinced that the log house was very basic and accepted as such, the other units at Mont Rouge were very nicely upgraded and will definitely use them in the future.
Towels stank. Wish I could post pictures of what the unit we stayed in looked like. His excuse was that he didn't have room and had other guests who were staying three nights for which the better units were kept.
I would recommend anyone to spend the night there anytime. Rian is very friendly and we got a R100 discount. Will definitely stay there again. Thank you very much.
Riaan was immediately there when we arrived to welcome us and show us around. Everything was neat and clean and beautifully appointed. The apartment has coffee making facilities, a fridge, electric blankets, and a TV with DStv channels. We had a great time. This little place is walking distance from the little town. Unbelievable view from your room. Just one recommendation: Maybe proved milk for the morning coffee. We only got powdered milk. But we bought some milk and kept it in the fridge.
The stay was definitely the best. The extra miles walked, unforgettable.
Would stay at Mont Rouge again any day (the attic). Their quality mattresses and pillows, proper bedding and view were all fantastic. Would recommend to anyone.
Very nice accommodation a stone's throw from the town centre. Lovely, warm beds with nice shower and bath, fireplace, braai area, balcony and DStv.
Nice view of the mountain and very clean inside.
Lovely surprise in Clarens. Luxurious and cozy, perfect for one night. The host went out of his way and even gave us nice wood for a fireplace on the cold evening. Walking distance to everything - nice to explore the town.
Thanks for wonderful accommodation. Very quaint and comfortable. Love this little place!
Fantastic place, friendly service, definitely a place I will go back to.
The Hakuna Matata is wonderfully equipped with a lovely fireplace. A good combination of private rooms with their own bathrooms and spacious open-plan area makes it a good option for a group. Everything was clean and neat with a wonderful view of the mountain and enough safe parking space.
Great accommodation amongst the mountains in Clarens with friendly reception.
The Attic at Mont Rouge was a fantastic place from which to explore the area. Walking distance to the shops and sights. Riaan, the host, was very helpful and friendly.
Unbelievably beautiful view when you step out of your room and you look at the mountains! It is located in a fantastic location and will definitely go back. The customer service was good. Cute people!
Good place to stay as the Mont Rouge has different accommodations in different price classes. The property is neat and in walking distance of Clarens center. We would come back to this place!
Good service by Riaan who followed up with us before we arrived. An alternative was offered to us at additional cost as we weren't the only visitors. The host made good recommendations re restaurants and attractions in Clarens.
The friendly service was unbelievable. Our place was clean and well equipped. It's a place to debrief and relax,
Beautiful, spotless and well equipped unit. Will definitely go there again.
Basic but neat accommodation. They also have a beautifully revamped cottage and chalet. Something for everyone. Affordable and Riaan is very friendly and helpful. Can recommend it.
Very pleasant in Clarens, thank you.
See stars.
We really enjoyed our stay and the host was very friendly and helpful.
We will book this place again anytime. So stunning at the foot of the mountain, beautiful view.
Good reception and had nice conversations, truly good value for money, will definitely stay there again!
This unit is very spacious and neat and just the right place if you want silence and tranquillity.
We enjoyed our stay at Mont Rouge a lot. The owner is exceptionally hospitable, it's been a while since I experienced hospitality like that! The room we stayed in, Lavender, was very well equipped and wonderfully warm.
We were very kindly received at Mont Rouge and were very satisfied with the stay. We were looking for accommodation that was quiet yet comfortable and were completely happy with our unit.
The guesthouse has a great location. Hakuna Matata was spotless and very well equipped. Riaan, the host, is a very friendly, interesting person who supplied complimentary wood for the fireplace and breakfast was on the house. We can really recommend Mont Rouge.
Very well managed with a great view. The rooms themselves are well equipped and comfortable.
Had a lovely time.
Very friendly host, very helpful and even sparked the fireplace for us. Basic facilities, nice warm water in the shower.
Unfortunately it is only self-catering and not a B&B as advertised. But I did get a voucher for breakfast at a nice restaurant. I stayed in the Lavender room and it was pretty. Riaan was very friendly and helpful.
There is a definite difference between a "Log cabin" as advertised and a Wendy cabin. It was the only "Log Cabin" on the property, the other units were neat and vastly different.
Very pleasant place to stay. Owner very friendly and makes you feel at home.
We really enjoyed our stay. It is neat and clean. The people are friendly and the view on the mountain is really very beautiful.
I will definitely look into it again next time.
We found the accommodation very comfortable and well equipped, the location perfect and the manager very helpful.
Mont Rouge's rondavel is incredibly beautiful and romantic. Well equipped and cozy with the fireplace. Riaan, the manager, was very pleasant and helpful. Gardens also beautiful, and children could play off their energy there.
The pull-out sofa may only be suitable for children.
The place is not fully equipped for small children. The double beds are also very short. But the caretaker was friendly, the place was close and it served our purpose.
It was very pleasant.
Lovely rooms. Value for money. Great for a weekend. It was a very tranquil setting with lovely gardens.
Friendly reception in clean, tidy accommodation with a beautiful garden and view of the mountains.
Fantastic stay in Hakuna Matata with wonderful atmospheric wood stove in the evening and sun on the veranda in the morning.
Mount Rouge is really value for money. It felt like you were at your own home and the hospitality of Rian and the staff was excellent. Would definitely recommend staying there to others!
Manager, Riaan went out of his way to make us feel welcome and help us have an unforgettable holiday. Made a nice log fire definitely didn't get cold unit was equipped with electric blankets, heaters and fireplace. Bed sleeps like a dream and unit, bedding and towels were clean and tidy.
Great stay and visit. Our little dog enjoyed it just as much and was safe. Will definitely stay here again.
Very cute place! Clean and tidy with everything you need.
We were given a bigger accommodation than we booked for as there was a plumbing problem, and it was given at no extra cost. The gentleman who runs Mt Rouge was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much.
Thank you very much for a wonderful night's stay at Mont Rouge. We were pleasantly surprised with the high standard and cleanliness of the accommodation. We were kindly received by the helpful manager, Riaan.
I left my charger behind when we left and Riaan went out of his way to find someone who was travelling from Clarens to Gauteng to bring it with! That is going the extra mile, and it is highly appreciated!
We stayed in the Lavender house, nice big room, big bathroom with a veranda overlooking the mountain. Very nice place, a few hundred meters from the center of Clarens.
Although the place is not terribly modern, all the amenities we needed were there. The unit is clean and tidy and there was DStv! Lovely view of the mountains and a cool atmosphere.
We enjoyed the stay and view
Riaan was very polite and helpful.
