158 guests' feedbackSuch an awesome room. Modern and very clean. It was great and I am already looking forward to a future stay. Being central and having the ability to securely park the car without any worries was a breath of fresh air. Watching the sun rise over the mountains early in the morning with a coffee from the balcony was just what we needed. The owners were on site and were very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast at the bakery is 100% worth it, delicious!
Friendly reception, beautiful facilities, conveniently located guest house.
It was short and sweet but it was very nice. The room was beautiful and very nicely decorated. Nice shower and a cozy electric blanket in the cold weather was awesome!
See stars.
All amenities were beautifully clean and met all expectations. The host was very friendly and informative and the guest house is well worth it's value.
Fantastic location. Modern and clean. Friendly host.
Weekend getaway with family. Will definitely book here again. 10 out of 10
Jane is a warm and welcoming host. The accommodation is very comfortable and newly renovated. The Courtyard is central to everything, we walked to all the restaurants and our car was locked up safe. The accommodation is above the bakery and Jane makes the best croissants we've ever had! We will stay at the Courtyard again.
Quiet, safe and centrally located.
Great pampering is what you can expect at Courtyard Guest House. Secure parking behind gate. All shops and restaurants within walking distance. Netflix, Prime and Youtube available, no DStv.
Good value for money.
Large room with Nespresso coffee machine and small bar fridge. Amazon Prime and Netflix and free WiFi for guests. Rooms serviced daily. Centrally located with secure parking. Tempting smells from the bakery downstairs. Perfect for a weekend stay in the centre of Clarens.
No assistance, no TV, Wi-Fi very slow.
Welcome was friendly. Clean an and comfortable. Central and secure.
Accommodation is modern (newly built) and clean.
Great food, location and service.
We had a lovely stay. The place was clean and the service excellent. Breakfast was exceptional, and Jane and Martin were always ready with service and help.
We had a wonderful stay! The Courtyard is perfectly located, very neat and clean and well equipped! Will definitely book there again!
The Courtyard Guest House's check-in process is very simple and convenient. The rooms are very well equipped for a weekend away, and very centrally located, with secure parking. Breakfast at the Courtyard is of the best quality and definitely something to include in your visit. The owners were very accommodating and always ready to help with any queries or problems.
Jane and her staff are very friendly and helpful. The restaurant's food is also of good quality. We will visit there again for sure!
Rooms very comfortable, neat, clean and well equipped. Only negative was a constant drain smell in the bathroom. Location very convenient, centrally located in Clarens. Owner very friendly and helpful. Great restaurant and bakery.
Hospitality from staff was very good, made you feel welcome.
Lovely central accommodation. Comfortable setting and the sherry was a nice touch. Breakfast was delicious.
I received the necessary codes via SMS before hand and was able to come in when I wanted to. We were there before 14:00 and there were no problems. Will definitely book there again.
It was such a pleasure to stay at the Courtyard! Everything was immaculate and superb.
We had a very friendly reception. The rooms were well-equipped and very warm. Good location in the middle of the town. We will definitely stay there again.
The unit is beautiful and the owners very friendly.
We reveived comprehensive and good communication from The Courtyard at all times. Everything was in orden upon arrival and our accommodation was simply a great pleasure. The dinner on New Year's Eve was one of the best I've ever had! Compliments to the chef and everyone part of it. We will definitely be returning to The Courtyard.
We had such a nice stay at Courtyard. Restaurant was shut in the evenings for private functions, but there was luckily lots of other eateries. Noise in the kitchen early in the morning is a bit bothersome, but not too bad. Will definitely stay there again.
The whole guesthouse experience was great and I would definitely recommend it.
Rooms are painstakingly neat, elegant, stylish and cuddly furnished. Staff are nimble and friendly. Location is perfect to just walk to the shops and restaurants. Bakery with fresh homemade baked goods from the top shelves and cozy restaurant with tasty meals.
The facility is very clean, and well maintained. Value for money. Will visit again. The facility is in the middle of Clarence, so we parked our car on arrival and never drove, until departure. Beautiful view, safe parking.
Friendly staff. Rooms very neat. Would really recommend.
Awesome stay! We could not have asked for a better place. We stayed over for the weekend during the MTB event and had a blast. Thank you Jane and Martin for a wonderful experience.
See the stars.
Perfectly located and walking distance to everything you want to see. It's wonderful and rooms spacious and stylish. Wonderful getaway!
I would recommend the Courtyard any day. In fact I asked my family that the next time we go to Clarens we are going to stay there. It is magnificently beautiful, clean. The owner and the staff are friendly people. Thank you for the warm stay.
It is so centrally located, room is beautiful. What I really enjoyed is that you have a code to get into the room, no worries about the key. Terribly friendly owners. Would recommend it. I think they can consider including breakfast in the price, or adjust the price and include it.
I gave 3 stars for parking as the security gate was left wide open until late at night. There is no undercover parking, which for a Harley Davidson motorcycle is a must!
Neat rooms, very modern. Safe parking area with safety gate at night. Located centrally on the Clarens Square, perfect for a visit to Clarens.
Very neat rooms... Just a bit on the expensive side and breakfast is not included in the price!
Realizing they moved to a new premises, and we still stay at the old Guest House, but it is still very good. Quiet location, not so busy. Self catering section. There was only one thing missing: "Braai Tongs". Apart from that, very good!
Perfect accommodation for our family of four. We loved Jane, she made us feel very welcome. We stayed in Room 1 it was perfect for our family, we all sat around the fireplace reading the books we bought at the bookshop in town. We did not even switch on the TV – we had a lovely view of the mountain with beautiful sunsets. The bakery – coffee shop downstairs was fantastic and we had the best breakfast there. We enjoyed many short walks to the town square and never worried about driving anywhere. The room had everything we needed and we could easily have stayed there for a week. My only regret is not buying more goodies to bring home from the bakery – best fudge and cookies in the world. Thanks Jane - we will see you guys again.
We had a great time and will use this accommodation again.
Breakfast fantastic.
We would heartily recommend the Courtyard to any couple or family, it's beautiful, clean, safe and the friendliness of everyone who works there makes anyone feel at home. It's the second time we've stayed there and will definitely book there again on any next visit to Clarens.
Service is very friendly, neat, clean and pleasant.
10 out of 10 for the Courtyard. Just add the breakfast as advertised and everything will be great.
Very nice and clean place, private and very close to everything.
Clarens is definitely a place we will go to more often! The guest house is neat and clean and meets our requirements. It is also affordable. We really enjoyed the weekend.
It was a very neat and clean room and all the facilities were available. We had a very hospitable reception.
This is a beautiful place to stay! Big and spacious. Will definitely book here again next time and in the specific room. Everything clean and tidy, for the price, a real surprise! Thank you very much.
The view from our balcony was truly breathtaking! Service was great!
The balcony, although small, ensures that you remain aware of the beautiful surroundings in which you find yourself. Friendly reception and good food in restaurant.
Friendly host. Delicious breakfast. Well located. Neat and modern
The apartment was great. With a neat bathroom with a shower, a kitchenette with a microwave oven, fridge, stove and sink. There is also a dining table and a lounge with a TV. There is a porch and a large separate bedroom with a king-size bed. Everything was clean and very tidy. Secure parking. It is right at Clarens entrance with a steep uphill if you want to walk into town so keep that in mind. It takes you 3 minutes to drive. Would definitely recommend the place. The nicest bakery and restaurant is right below the apartment.
Very convenient and within walking distance of Clarens' special art route.
Stay was wonderful and everything was organized. Lovely, spacious rooms and well equipped. Breakfast at the coffee shop was delicious - friendly staff. Only problem was that the geyser in the guest house is shared with the coffee shop downstairs. The shower was sometimes a nightmare when the toilet is flushed down the water is incredibly hot in the shower ─ you just have to shower early!
The B&B Courtyard is well situated in Clarens and Jane made our stay very comfortable.
Very kindly received by Jane. She contacted us when our room was ready and we were able to check in 30 minutes earlier.
We thoroughly enjoyed the weekend we spent in Clarens at Courtyard. The owner was very friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful and spacious. We really enjoyed this break in the countryside and will definitely go again.
Everything was great and ready upon our arrival, the people were friendly and the personal service of the owner and her husband was exceptional. They were helpful and friendly and made us feel very much at home.
Well appointed cozy room with beautiful linen and all the comforts you could wish for. The owner was most pleasant and interested and the breakfast was first class. Well recommended.
Jane is friendly and professional. The room was clean, tidy and very comfortable. She went the extra mile as we are a family of 5 and most places only cater for 4. She definitely goes the extra mile. It was also nice to wake up to the smell of baked goods. I would recommend The Courtyard B&B and Cafe with confidence. Will definitely go back again.
Southern living unit gets little sun and has a cold tiled floor. The fireplace is lovely, there were 5 bags of wood for a 3 day stay, so it was nice and warm!
The bedding was clean and fresh and we slept nice and warm. The apartment had a drain smell that smelled bad in the bathroom and in the kitchen. With a bar only a few meters away, the music until 3am was quite a disturbance.
We would highly recommend The Courtyard B&B and Cafe. It's modern, neat, fantastically equipped with friendly service and a delicious breakfast. We will only stay here when we are in Clarens from now on.
Very friendly, considerate people. The accommodation is very neat and would really recommend it. The service is excellent.
It was heavenly! Thank you very, very much!
Spacious rooms, neat and clean. The meals were delicious and the owners were very hospitable!
Will definitely stay there again at the next quilt festival! It was delicious!
It was "great". We will visit again. Jane and Martin are two good people who make you feel at home, the staff are also very good. The food is top notch. Thank you, you guys!
The unit has everything at your disposal for a lovely break and is well located near all restaurants and shops. I would stay here again.

The accommodation is very good and it provides the necessary privacy and tranquility that is required from a break. We were well received and the owners inquired about our satisfaction and well-being on a regular basis.
Had a wonderful stay. The room (3) was lovely and clean with everything you need. The restaurant's food was delicious. Everything is within walking distance.
Very nice stay, very neat and clean.
It is our second stay and will stay there again it is a lovely place!
Some problems with the tv / dstv , bit of a damper on wanting to spend time indoors, relaxing in front of a movie or two. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Jane and Martin are very good hosts. Flat has everything you need. Definitely recommended.
Everything one needs.
Well rested. Thank you very much for a great weekend.
To break away from the city we can recommend Courtyard B&B anytime. We chose to try the places to eat in Clarens. However, the rooms are equipped to prepare your own food. The most delicious pastries can be bought at Courtyard's coffee shop. Breakfast there was also delicious. The restaurant for dinner is a must. The rooms were serviced during the weekend and were always a pleasure to be there. Look no further than Courtyard for a delightful stay.
A lovely stay all in all. The only thing I would have appreciated in the room was an electric fan (it was very warm), opening the window did not do the trick.
Good, safe parking place.
The wait (because the room was not ready at 3pm) was compensated with a complimentary coffee. The unit is neat and clean but may need some renovation in the near future.
This exceeded my expectations. The "flat" was spacious, clean and little touches were wonderful. Jane and the staff are very friendly and more than helpful. The coffee shop downstairs was also great.
We were a group of 10 people and everyone had a great time. We would recommend the place to anyone.
The family room is spacious and very comfortable, would just like a little more privacy on the outside patio. But otherwise it was nice. We had a great stay, thank you very much.
Upon booking, the service was fast and without any uncertainties. Reception was quick and friendly. The apartment was unbeatable. Definitely a place to recommend...would do it again in exactly the same way! Thank you.
The accommodation met all our needs and Jane was friendly and helpful with advice on where to eat and what to do in the area.
Was well and kindly received. Apartment and fittings are in excellent condition. Staff are friendly and helpful. Would love to visit there again.
Neat, nice ... will go back ... definitely!

The stay was very pleasant, the address is well located with the restaurant, coffee shop and spa around you.
The apartment is spacious and spotlessly clean and coffee and tea are provided. Jane very pleasant and staff friendly. Delicious bakery. However, the parking needs to be upgraded. No shelters and was afraid of hail, because it rained a lot and we had to drive our little car through puddles of mud in front of the parking lot entrance.
Friendly reception. Very nice stay. Will recommend.
The bed was very comfortable and similar to mine at home.
I was just worried because the cars were behind a gate, but the gate couldn't close.
Jane is an ideal hostess; she made our stay pleasant.
Thank you very much for the hospitality and friendly reception. It was an experience and so peaceful and beautiful.
First class and lovely people!
We stayed at The Courtyard because they handled the reception for our son's wedding. They did a great job and the food was the best I have ever had at a wedding.
Everything was excellent. People were very friendly. Will go back again.
Pleasantly surprised!
Had a wonderful weekend in Clarens. Beautiful area, friendly people and great food especially at the Courtyard cafe.
The Courtyard B+B offers you a peaceful, comfortable and well-equipped place to stay, close to a number of interesting and enjoyable places to visit.
A quality accommodation in a good position.
Spacious and neat accommodation.
The courtyard offers one wonderful comfort with the necessary distance to at least be private. Great experience.
A very comfortable and clean place to stay with safe parking and good service. Conveniently "on the side" of town, away from traffic and noise.
Very nice, clean and tidy. Will visit again!
Clarens is stunning, a real art town. Our stay at the Courtyard Cafe was incredibly nice: the atmosphere, the wood stove and especially the breakfast just down the stairs! Thanks for a great weekend!
We enjoyed a very lovely weekend in Clarens and the accommodation made the weekend just that much more special. We were close to everything and the family unit was clean and tidy, with adequate heating for the cold winter evenings. The restaurant also has delicious meals and you can feel free to try them. Thank you very much, we will stay there again and definitely recommend it to friends and family.
Pleasant and peaceful, enjoyed a delicious breakfast, room was clean and tidy. Parking place safe.
There was everything one needs in the place. Everything is very nice and tidy and the fireplace creates a very warm and romantic atmosphere. Good value for money!

We were received very kindly. The unit was spacious, comfortable and had all the necessary amenities. It was also very safe. Will stay there again.
Very friendly and warm reception and will gladly use again
We really enjoyed our stay at the courtyard, and especially their food!
We will use it again.
We visited Clarens with friends and we all stayed over at The Courtyard. From the minute we arrived, we were received warmly by the owner Ms. Jane Ball and we had a pleasant stay. The rooms were clean and catered for all our needs. The breakfast the next morning were of a high standard. Very friendly staff, and very pleasant experience.
Very nice stay. Might need a fan as it was a bit warm in the evenings.
See the stars below.
Always nice to stay in Clarens. This was once again such an opportunity. The apartment was clean and tidy and we had a very nice and comfortable stay. It's close to everything but still quiet enough to rest well. Marinus and Petro van Jaarsveld
We had a great stay and SLEEPED SLEEPINGLY. Parking can be upgraded.
I would recommend The Courtyard for a weekend stay in Clarens. The rates are fair and the flatscreen TV with DStv is a bonus.
See the stars below.
We enjoyed our stay at the Courtyard. Lovely view from our verandah; a lovely courtyard where breakfast can be doyen. Safe parking. Easy to walk to town.
Loved the peace and tranquility of the place. Jane is an excellent and helpful host. Stunning breakfast at the Cafe ... ate too much bread!!! We will definitely visit again.
A fantastic experience.
Excellent, friendly, great value - we really enjoyed our stay!
The Courtyard B&B was comfortable and clean.
Great value for money, and wonderful service.
The service was very good, as we as group (3 couples) came and left at different times and everything was in place. The people were ready to assist in any way they could and Jane was very helpful.
Thank you to TravelGround and The Coutryard B&B for accommodating us so well, from our booking until our departure. My boys enjoyed the Clarens 50km race. Will definitely be back next year!!! Blessings Berry and Mandy Van Wyk
First time we've visited Clarens, and will definitely pay for a return visit here!
Very nice and spacious apartment that was very well equipped with all a traveller could need. Situated at the entrance to town very close to the main road and therefore noisy due to traffic passing. Apartments are still new but already some building failures are showing (floor tiles). This needs to be fixed soonest to avoid further damage. Mountain area is beautiful and ideal for day hikes.
Fantastic value for money for that time of year. Thank you for a lovely stay.
Very nice Good Host Rooms very big and clean Good food
This was our first visit to Clarens. I did a lot of searching and investigation on the accommodation in and around Clarens. When I saw Courtyard's bedrooms on the website, I immediately secure out booking. Still we were astonished by the large, spacious rooms, crisp linen and towels and beautiful decor. The owners are lovely friendly people and went out of their way to help us. Don't miss their cheesecake.We will be back next year with our kids.
The apartment was comfortable and attractively decorated.
The B & B was in a safe & convenient area, and very clean. Stellar customer service - they gave us access to a shower in another room when my mother-in-law had difficulties with the tub. Breakfast was yummy, too.
NThe location is very convenient, however there is a night club or bar close to the B&B which was quite noisy and we were a bit concerned about the noise and potential security. In the end, neither were issues as the music was stopped sharply at midnight and the guests appeared to move away quickly and without fuss. I would recommend this B&B to our friends.
We were welcomed warmly, the rooms were clean, neat and cosy. Kitchen fully ecquiped, although we preferred to eat the most delicious food at the Cafe. Parking safe. Even street parking was safe! Only problem was nearby bar where there was some noise, but not too bad.
It was a very pleasant experience with a warm welcome and every need catered for.
It was great and we will recommend the Courtyard to anybody traveling in that direction. It is so nice to walk into a place that is clean, "homely" furnished, and nicely situated! The hosts were very accommodating, and also very chatty and interesting! We would definitely stay there again!!
The room we stayed in was clean and well equipped, and the service was nothing short of brilliant - the staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. The food was very good and I really liked the design of the café and the guest house, as it has a European feel. The only draw back I can mention is that the guest house is situated at the entrance of Clarens so there is a lot of traffic noise from the Bethlehem Golden Gate road. The bar down the road was also very noisy on Friday night, however the music stopped at 12pm. All in all a wonderful place to stay if you want classic architecture, great food and amazing service.
My wife and I did not know what to expect as we had not been to Clarens before but the stay at this establishment has encouraged us to do the trip again.
One night stay. Good space, lounge could do with a proper couch,more than one extra blanket for the bed, a bigger cupboard in the bedroom and a larger shower in the bathroom. Extra firewood for the fireplace would have been nice. Good overall.
Lovely, thank you
The aspects of service, cleanliness and professionalism were exemplary. Jane, the host, was exceptional and we were treated like "long lost friends". Thank You for ensuring that our visit will remain memorable!
