Thaba Lapeng is only 10 km from Clarens in the eastern Free State, on the R711 towards Fouriesburg, just before Surrender Hill. It is only 3 hours from Johannesburg, 4 hours from Durban and 2 hours from Bloemfontein and is an ideal stopover between the northern and southern provinces or on the way to Lesotho. It is great for staying over when visiting the Clarens/Eastern Free State area, or for attending weddings at one of the nearby wedding venues, or just for relaxing.
The accommodation consists of 3 fully self-catering, open-plan chalets which are adjacent to the main house. There are also 2 rooms which provide basic accommodation only which form part of the main house but have their own private entrances on the verandah.
The self-catering chalets each has a fully equipped kitchen with a dining room, a lounge and a bedroom set out on an open-plan basis similar to a bachelor unit. It is also fitted with an en-suite bathroom consisting of a bath, a shower and a toilet. All linen and towels are provided. Each chalet has its own braai facilities and porch. Cleaning services can be offered at an additional fee. This excludes Sundays and public holidays.
The 2 rooms are each fitted with a microwave and a coffee station with a kettle, coffee, tea, sugar, milk, rusks and mugs that are refilled each day. The Suikerbekkie room also has a fridge. All linen and towels are also provided. Each room is equipped with an en-suite shower, basin and toilet. There are no braai facilities dedicated to the rooms and the rooms are not equipped for a self-catering stay. Cutlery and crockery are provided and are changed each day.

Very nice! Clean and tidy!
Wonderful host and hostess. Visiting them makes you feel at home. Big thanks to Gerhard & Zelda for your kindness.
Was the most hospitable reception ever, salt of the earth people.
Very short weekend but so well deserved. The place is stunning and definitely go there again.
It was very nice, neat and friendly people.
Very comfortable place to stay.
Nestled against a hill near Clarens, Thaba Lapeng Mountain Escape offers breathtaking mountain views. Warm hospitality, well-equipped rooms, and peace and quiet make it a perfect getaway. Highly recommended!
We had a very nice stay. Just 10 km outside Clarens. We felt safe the whole time and the room is very well laid out.
We had a wonderful stay at Thaba Lapeng Mountain Escape. The room has everything you need. Situated 10km from Clarens. Stunning views of the mountains. The hosts were so friendly and checked in twice a day to make sure we had everything we needed. They gave advice on places to visit which really helped. The room is beautiful and set up so comfortably. We will definitely visit again.
We had a great stay and the surroundings are very beautiful.
We had a great time!
It was fantastic. Owners are so hospitable. Definitely going there again.
What a beautiful place. Uncle and Aunt are very hospitable people. Their place is very nice and tidy and peaceful. Will visit there again for sure.
It was a fantastic experience.
This place is a gem. Run by Gerhard and Zelda, they offer the personal touch. Everything has been carefully thought of. Plugs next to beds, hooks in the bathroom, quirky notices to amuse. It was clean and well-designed. Everything worked as per the offer. The swimming pool was crystal clear. The view across the valley was stunning. Stay a night or stay a week.
Very nice. Will come again.
Accommodation was fantastic, clean and hospitality of the best.
See stars.
We were kindly received and also upgraded for free to a larger unit, what a welcome surprise. The room is well equipped for self-catering and offers beautiful views.
Many thanks to Chris and Ina for vouching. The delicious fresh cheese and cornbread we received upon our arrival was a very pleasant surprise. All amenities were available.
The facilities are sufficient. The main bed is a bit short if you are on the long side. The stoepie and the braai facilities are very nice.
Wonderful location. Lovely view. Quiet and peaceful. Rooms clean, tidy and comfortable.
Very nice, clean and tidy. There is everything you need. I would recommend it to anyone.
Great views, beautiful atmosphere and lovely hosts.
Amazing place oh my God and the hospitality was amazing, and the owners were so humble and loving. Will definitely be back.
Friendly service and the owners have good advice on the 'must see sights' in and around Clarens.
Peace of mind, a place for a weekend getaway for everyone.
It was definitely the friendliest welcome I have ever received at any destination. The room had everything one could need and more. The most beautiful views surround Thaba Lapeng and it is a perfect distance from Clarens to really experience a nice and blissful break. I would recommend Thaba Lapeng Mountain Escape to anyone.
I will go back anytime, great place, great people and loved being outside of town!
Uncle Gerhard and Aunt Zelda's place is so beautiful, thank you for your hospitality.
Neat, clean, hospitable and very friendly.
The room had very nice warm water and a bed with electric blankets, and Gerhard just popped in to ask if everything was still ok. Thanks for a wonderful weekend and a warm welcome on an ice-cold Friday.
Great time in beautiful surroundings.
Gerhard and Zelda went out of their way to make our group feel welcome, and went the extra mile to give us a self catering experience with the most delicious porridge and gravy, meat packs and even wood (and fire starters) for weary travelers who after a long day on the road just wanted to kick off shoes and relax. What a gem in the Eastern Free State!
Clean, tidy and the most beautiful scenery. We will definitely go again.
We really enjoyed our stay, the views are beyond stunning and the atmosphere is quiet and peaceful. The owners are so kind and friendly and you can feel that they care about each guest that stays there. Lovely and very clean room that had all the facilities we needed. Would highly recommend it.
Home away from home. Absolutely friendly, professional hosts. I even wore Gerhard's jacket for unexpected cold and rain! Zelda's fat cake was off the books and a huge treat. We will stay there again and again.
The view is fantastic, the house is very neat and well furnished and the people are so friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend it.
Zelda and Gideon had been very hospitable. A lot of effort has gone into enriching your stay. During loadshedding, they provided for power with a generator. Everything was neat inside and garden is beautiful. The place is only 10 km from Clarens and it is ideally located.
Thana Lapeng is located on the slopes of the Clarens landscape which offers you a beautiful view for sunrise and sunset. The natural beauty and the cozy accommodation are wonderful and compliment each other. The rooms are comfortably furnished and the hospitality and conversation of the owners was a unique experience that makes you simply enjoy your stay. Thaba Lapeng offers you tranquility, the mountains, early morning fields and birds that greet you, and a nice cup of coffee on the veranda helps you take in the scenery.
Was a very nice break.
Breathtaking nature. View wonderful. Will definitely use the place again.
The unit was very nice clean and well equipped, the people were friendly and we can recommend the place to anyone who wants to rest in silence.
We were received hospitably and we felt at home.
Large room and bathroom with everything you need for self-catering close to Clarence. Very good host who does everything to make one's time comfortable and convenient.
When booked, made the mistake of thinking it was self-catering. Room at home. Aware of the people in the kitchen.
It is so calm and peaceful, if you want to rest and switch off this is the place.
Will definitely recommend.
Lovely surroundings, wonderful hosts and accommodation. So peaceful. Gerhard and Zelda are super hosts.
It's a gem to stay with. The hospitality, helpfulness and friendliness of the owners and the staff stand out. Nicest amenities you can think of. The location on the mountain and view is breathtaking. The garden is pleasing to the eye. Would stay there again without a second thought. Would recommend to anyone considering Clarens.
Very nice and peaceful atmosphere.
Great service, stunningly beautiful. 10 stars for you.
Environment is so beautiful! If we come to Clarens again, we will definitely stay at Thaba Lapeng again! Very nice stay! The best place to stay in Eastern Free State!
What a beautiful place. The view is fantastic, price just right, and the hospitality wonderful. Gerhard and Zelda made us feel so at home. It is truly a place close to my heart. Thank you very much.
Gerhard and Zelda are cordial, warm and hospitable and go that extra mile to make your stay with them amazing and definitely go out of their way to make sure that all your needs are met. The place is very neatly maintained and well equipped, the garden is beautiful and the view is picturesque. Would recommend anytime for that getaway you need for peace of mind. They will see us again soon.
Very clean, tidy and peaceful atmosphere. We slept great. The scenery is fantastic and the owners' hospitality is wonderful.
If you have not yet experienced this absolute gem you have to give it a try. The best self catering establishment we have been to. The hosts Gerhard and Zelda are the epitome of what hospitality should be. We were greeted like family when we arrived and were checked on daily to ensure we were enjoying our stay. The chalets were immaculate. Very clean and comfortable with everything you need in a self catering establishment. The staff are very friendly and always smiling. We were sad to leave but will definitely be back and will spread the word between our friends to visit this little gem. Thank you Gerhard and Zelda for a great stay.
It was a very nice weekend, very peaceful and such beautiful scenery. Owners very friendly and helpful. Clean places.
Awesome place. Awesome people. Love the view and peacefulness! Will for sure visit them again!
Gerhard and Zelda are two wonderful people who immediately made us feel at home. Accommodation has everything needed and we had a great time. Would definitely recommend them highly.
We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and Gerhard and Zelda feel like old friends when you leave again. Staying at Thaba Lapeng is absolutely wonderful.
We were kindly received and shown the chalet by the owner. Beautiful flowers were placed everywhere in the chalet. The chalet was spotless, there were extra towels in the cupboard, and everything was tidy and in its place. The photos on the website are accurate, and the view from the chalet is definitely one for the books. There are short walking trails on the premises, and everywhere in the garden small creative corners that delight the eye. Great weekend! Beautiful stay!
Accommodation was fantastically equipped and very tidy. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Never received such incredible service and support as at Thaba Lapeng. We would definitely recommend it to anyone. Place's view is great.
We enjoyed the big beautiful green garden in the mountains.
Beautiful place. Will definitely visit again.
People are very friendly and we were well received. Place is nicely furnished and located in a very nice place.
I enjoyed my stay at Thaba Lapeng. The owners are very kind and generous. I got sick the next day, I've been sleeping but Tannie gave me some pills which helped me so much. I'm grateful and I'll be visiting there soon again with my family. The view is beautiful the pool is clean and amazing.
Most beautiful view, clean self-catering chalets and Gerhard and Zelda are excellent guest farm hosts and hostesses who go out of their way for their guests. Absolutely value for money.
We had a great time. Everything was very clean, comfortable and everyone was very friendly. We will definitely be back and are already looking at dates for our next visit.
Uncle Gerhard and aunt Zelda are extremely hospitable and friendly. The apartment was clean and very well equipped. We were able to rest and have a good time.
The hospitality was remarkable. We easily started chatting with the Uncle and Aunt as if we had known them for years. The places to stay are very practical and conveniently laid out. The most beautiful view from your own porch is what stands out the most to us.
Relax wonderfully, the silence is fantastic. Gerhard & Zelda have special hospitality and are pleasant people. The location excellent for us & almost to the village.
Exceptionally beautiful place and environment with excellent hospitality and wonderfully beautiful units.
We were extremely impressed with Thaba Lapeng. It has the most breathtaking views. The rooms are well equipped. The owners, Gerhard and Zelda, are very friendly and helpful. A lot of effort was made to make us feel welcome. Suitcase space for your clothes is limited, but not an insurmountable problem. Thank you very much, we will definitely visit again.
Arrived early, received with open arms. Spacious and tidy unit. Everything needed is provided.
Thab Lapeng is well located, just outside Clarens, so it's very beautiful nature and quiet and peaceful there. The place was very clean and tidy and well equipped.
People are very friendly and considerate.
The hardest bed I have ever slept on, the fridge makes a noise and woke me a few times during the night, no wood was provided at the fireplace, bed size was not a queen size as indicated. The road noise of passing cars was annoying, other than that was enjoyable.
The service was of good quality. Thanks Gerald and Zelda, you were great!
What stood out for me was the view of the mountains, listening to birds singing in the garden while relaxing on the porch.
This was just what we needed. Unfortunately no WiFi on offer and with limited cell reception this was a bit of a negative as it was listed as an offered facility. Also there we no kitchen facilities available, only a microwave and a kettle, so not really a self catering facility. The huge guard dog was a bit on the scary side, so maybe not the best option if you have small children. Even with these drawbacks it was an amazing stay and knowing what to expect next time, I would most definitely make use of Thaba Lapeng again.
Was an absolutely wonderful weekend! Lovely accommodation, great hosts, great views, couldn’t have been better!
The lodgings are extremely peaceful and just the place to be to get away from city stresses.
The price was very high, you pay for the view on the mountain. The apartment is tidy inside, but if you want to barbecue and have a good time outside, you don't have terribly much privacy. It would be perfect for someone who wants to spend the night soon.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay there again. Main complaint is that there was no fan or aircon and when we went to reception, we were met very much by surprise by an aggressive dog.
Very cute places for which a lot of effort has been made with decor etc. Really enjoyed it. I will know where to go in the sequel, but I kindly suggest that better directions be used regarding the reception area, but other than that it was very nice! Thank you very much! I also just don't remember having to pay extra for the cleaning. Not that it's a problem, I'm happy to pay it. It was possible in the terms and conditions. Maybe just make it clear up front. However, we had a great time! Thank you very much.
Very nice stay, will return again.
It was a wonderful weekend. The view is something incredible, the location is fantasy. Gerhard and Zelda immediately make you feel welcome. It is a much better place for me to stay for a getaway than in the busy town itself. Wonderful scenery.
We had a great time! The welcome was so warm, it immediately made you feel at home. The place is very neat and even more beautiful than in the photos. Early in the morning you can drink coffee quietly with the most beautiful view and Aunt Zelda's wild birds, which she feeds so faithfully, to look at. Nothing is too much trouble for the uncle and aunt, and are always ready to help so that you have the best getaway. Definitely a recommendation for any people who want a peaceful getaway.
Outstanding! Affordable accommodation with a beautiful view over the mountains of the Eastern Free State. Everything you need is available and the facilities are extremely clean. I will not stay anywhere else in the Eastern Free State again!
We had a great time and couldn't get enough of the most beautiful view! The accommodation was very well equipped and very neat and clean!
Take a few minutes to absorb your surroundings for a truly revitalising effect on your well being.
Definitely a place I will go to again! All that one needs. Very clean and tidy and the view is beautiful.
Very nice resting place for visiting the area. Gerhard and Zelda very friendly and helpful. Very well equipped units. Safe. Super clean and serviced. Ensures a place of rest for the soul in very beautiful natural surroundings.
We were a group of friends who attended a wedding for the weekend in Clarens. Thaba Lapeng Mountain Escape was ideal for our group of friends with a nice braai area where we sit on the grass and appreciate the view. The place was very nice, clean and neat with beautiful views! We will definitely recommend the place.
Gerhard and Zelda made us feel at home. Views beautiful. Well located. Would recommend for a getaway weekend.
Very nice to enjoy all of the natural beauty surrounding you.
Friendly reception, beautiful surroundings with the most beautiful nature! Location exactly halfway between Clarens and Fouriesburg gives you great options to exploit.
Stunning views. Neat and clean accommodation with friendly, accommodating hosts.
Thaba Lapeng is beautiful self-catering accommodation with all the necessary facilities. The view is breathtaking!
Tannie Zelda and Oom Gerhard are the 2 friendliest people we've ever met. Their hospitality made us feel so welcome. Very neat place and we had a great time.
Would recommend Thaba Lapeng Mountain Escape to anyone, as well as the bookings. The cottage was very tidy and clean. We were warmly welcomed and called in the morning to discuss how they could make our room more comfortable as we have a 2 month old baby and a 2 year old. We will visit again any day.
Everything you need for self-catering and even more. Away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to Clarens for shopping. It was a very pleasant experience for us!
Can't describe it. Go see for yourself, it's amazing! There is not 1 thing I can say bad about Thaba Lapeng Mointain Escape. Only that it is very difficult to get your ride, because it is incredibly beautiful and delicious. Not to mention the hospitality. Feels like your mom's yard.
We had a wonderful experience, the most beautiful setting, with a beautiful view of the Maluti Mountains. The units were neat and well equipped. The people were friendly and helpful. We can't wait for our next visit.
Our time at Thaba Lapeng Mountain Escape was breathtaking. The view is stunning and it's really a place we'll go to again.
Had a good rest, there where one can breath. Lovely weekend getaway!
It was lovely. Everything was great. Will recommend that the rooms need to be serviced daily.
The most beautiful view from your room! Worth it and very affordable. Zelda and Gerhard are so friendly and hospitable! Would recommend anytime.
Excellent guest house! Will go back for sure!
We enjoyed it a lot and will definitely visit again.
The apartment was spotless, tidy and beautiful. Lots of effort were put into the decor. The biew is stunning. We will definitely book Thaba Lapeng again.
It's the most amazing getaway spot ever, so beautiful and romantic, we really enjoyed it. Many thanks to Thaba Lapeng Mountain Escape!
If you're looking for affordable and outstanding service at a holiday destination, Thaba Lapeng Mountain Escape is it. Will book again without thinking twice.
We really enjoyed our stay. Unique experience. The folks were friendly and the little place was neat and beautiful. You will see us again!
Thanks to Gerhard and Zelda, you are the most awesome 2 people. Your resting place is truly a place of rest and peace, thank you for sharing it with us.
My wife and I had a great time, rooms are very neat, and there is everything you need for self-catering. Would definitely recommend to anyone and will definitely be taking a break there again next year to get away from the busy city.
Wonderful stay, clean and nice view, will stay there again.
The client service was excellent. Rooms are neat and clean.
The hospitality and effort is simply the best of the best. Gerhard and Zelda makes you feel welcome from the get-go. The rooms has lots of detail, full of fresh flowers and pretty things. It is definitely our number one choice.
We enjoyed it a whole lot. The location outside of town was ideal for us seeing as how we wanted to experience the peace there, not the buzz of town. We were welcomed and immediately helped to our room. Very homely feeling and the details in the rooms are full of love. Thank you Gerhard and Elize!
The place is located between Clarens and Fouriesburg which gives you the opportunity to drive quietly to Clarens or Fouriesburg, we made sure to arrive at Thaba Lapeng Mountain Escape before sunset to just "chill".
Our stay the past weekend was really something special. Zelda and Gerhard's hospitality and friendliness was incredible. I will happily recommend Thaba Lapeng Mountain Escape to anyone. The weekend was unforgettable. Excellent.
Our stay at Thaba was excellent, Gerhard arranged a braai fire for us when we weren't prepared. He also organised a microwave so we could reheat our food. Thank you!
We had a good stay at Thaba Lapeng, very quiet, beautiful views, lovely and clean place.
From the moment we arrived until the moment we left it was excellent. Unit was very clean and luxurious, we enjoyed sitting on the veranda in the rain with a nice fire. Will definitely stay here again in the winter. Thank you very much for the enjoyable stay.
Thank you for a lovely time at Thaba Lapeng. See you again soon.
Had a great stay. Would recommend it.
Breathtaking view. Place was very neat. Would definitely recommend it.
The place is very nice and clean. Gerhard and Zelda immediately made us feel at home. They are very hospitable and you feel right at home. We will definitely go there again.
Great! Very neat! Awesome views!
Wonderful accommodation - really to be recommended.
Beautiful place, well taken care of. The view is calming and relaxing. Just outside of Clarens but close enough to pop in to town to have a shopping spree. Only downside is that it's self catering, would have preferred at least a breakfast , but they have coffee station, microwave and rusks .
Beautiful place, with a wonderful view. Neat rooms with beautiful finishes and very friendly owners.
I am very happy with Thaba Lapeng. The unit is modern and tidy. The view is beautiful. There were even flowers on the table and chocolates with fresh towels on my bed every day. I will definitely stay at Thaba Lapeng again.
See star rating.
We really enjoyed our stay at Thaba Lapeng and will definitely stay there again. It is a comfortable distance from Clarens and comfortably close to the tarmac road between Clarens and Fouriesburg. Unbelievably beautiful views, nice barbecue area and birdlife all contribute to a wonderful experience.
Very clean, awesome view en awesome people.
Our stay at Thaba Lapeng was to find peace and quiet and we did! The residence is spacious, beautiful and tidy. Gerhard and Zelda's interpersonal relationship was excellent and makes one feel at home and don't miss Shadow! Thaba Lapeng is away from all the noise yet close enough to enjoy EVERYTHING. If you want peace and quiet, visit Thaba Lapeng Mountain Escape. Thank you very much, see you soon!
Thanks to Gerhard and Zelda, it was unforgettable and we can't wait to come again for our next visit! Your place is special to our big group and words cannot describe the natural beauty that surrounds it.
We received excellent service from placing our reservation to the day of our departure. Gerhard and Shadow (who was always excited to see us!) braved the cold to greet us upon our very late arrival on Friday evening. Our room was cosy and warm with all the finest touches to make our stay memorable - handpicked flowers on our bed, sherry on arrival, toasty room and bed. Gerhard was very helpful with tips on where to eat and visit - every suggestion was spot on. The view of the sunrise against the mountain from our room was also spectacular and definitely the cherry on the cake. We will definitely be back soon and highly recommend a stay at Thaba Lapeng Mountain Escape!
Very neat room, stunning view and fully equipped. Will definitely go back.
We will definitely go on holiday again at Thaba Lapeng Mountain Escape.
It was lovely staying here. The rooms are very neat and the view wonderful. Gerhard and Zelda are friendly and helpful. It really is value for money and we will definitely be staying here again. The fact that it's 12 km out of town makes it so peaceful and quiet. Just the thing if you're in need of rest for the soul and just want to switch off and recharge your batteries, but be close enough to attractions. Excellent!
Very relaxing and a wonderful view. Close to everything.
Cleanliness in and around rooms very good. It is quiet and the main road is close.
