294 guests' feedbackWas awesome, with a beautiful view. Definitely recommend for a peaceful stay and if you love nature. Feel rested.
Excellent stay!
Amazing stay. Beautiful view.
Fantastic place to stay. Safe and everything you need. Extremely neat and clean. Very nice view. We had a great rest and would recommend The Views to anyone.
The view was amazing from the room. It was glorious to have a morning coffee looking at the mountains, and the area was quiet. Close to town, and there are lovely walking trails that can be accessed from behind the Views.
Very nice stay with the best views.
Was very peaceful and the surroundings and views beautiful.
Very cute, spacious and comfortable place with an amazing view. Would love to check in there again anytime. Thank you very much for the accommodation that was made available to us at very short notice. Now that was real service. And we really appreciated it.
Yes, very nice, thank you.
Our stay was absolutely fantastic! Love Views. Will again.
We had a great stay and look forward to going again. It is very quiet and peaceful and there is everything you need. We also slept very well.
Old furniture and not modern at all, but it is very clean and tidy with a beautiful view. That is all one needs. Fireplace, WiFi, full DSTV. And our car was unexpectedly washed on the last day!
We really enjoyed the break, with a nice stay and the most beautiful view!
Many thanks for sorting out the problem with the first unit. Second unit beautifully clean and everything you need. Beautiful view. Will book there again.
Incredibly beautiful, neat and the view is exceptional. The hiking trails are also fun with the family. We will definitely see you again.
Very nice. Can't recommend a better place than this. So comfy and warm.
Neat and very clean apartment. First time where a mop was provided so you can dry the bathroom floor after a shower - thank you very much for that. Something very small but very important so you can clean up.
It was very nice, breathtaking, clean and the fresh air is good for the soul.
The accommodation was fantastic! It has a magnificent view, the fireplace warms up the entire unit, and it has all the amenities. There is also much-needed peace and quiet at the location of the property. It is close to the main square of Clarens but far away from the noise.
Comfortable accommodation with excellent views. Note that the dirt road to the accommodation is very uncomfortable, but this has nothing to do with the accommodation itself - any car can drive there.
We had a very nice stay.
It was great, the place is in the perfect location in Clarens. The view of the mountains in the afternoons and early mornings was on another level of beautiful. We will definitely visit again, no doubt!
Most beautiful view in the whole of Clarens. Clean and cozy. Braai facilities and fireplace. Perfect!
Breathtaking view. Neat, clean, quiet, safe environment.
Stay was very nice and peaceful. This was the third time at Views and would love to stay there again.
It was very nice. Had a wonderful time. Will stay there again.
The views are the perfect place to find peace and quiet for your soul.
Very nice stay! Host received us kindly. Next to nature reserve, could therefore go for a nice walk. Plekkie has everything needed. Beautiful view!
Great weekend and exceptional location. Thank you very much, we really enjoyed it at Views. What an unforgettable weekend!
We found the accommodation excellent and the host very responsive and helpful.
Tidy. Clean. Quiet. Lovely view.
This is our favorite place.
Had a wonderful stay. Nice and comfortable place with everything you need. Lovely view. Wonderfully quiet and at night only the stars, no street light.
Views never disappoint! We visit them annually. Clean, tidy, lovely view.
Very nice unit in idyllic surroundings. The owner even stopped by to see if we had everything. The bonus was the snow!
We had a great time in Clarens. The accommodation was very neat and well furnished. A lot of effort was made to keep us informed of where we could get the key, and the reference map was very helpful in finding the accommodation. Thank you very much. The sunny porch with an exceptional view of the mountains was a plus.
Very nice surroundings and will definitely want to visit again in the summer. Place was nice and clean and everything was tidy. There are many places to eat as well. Would recommend the place for sure.
Nice stay. Just want to mention that if the booking document mentions that wood will be provided for the fireplace, it must please. be offered. There was only on arrival a small container full of 'fire starters' to start a fire with, no real wood or further wood was provided. Even if the poster did point out that we must buy ourselves, the reservation should not mention that wood is provided, but that the guests must bring wood themselves.
Views offers neat, value for money accommodation. The unit is well equipped with everything you need for a few days' visit. We plan to come again later in the year. The walking routes from Views are definitely recommended, as well as a visit to the restaurants in Clarens.
Good place to stay for a short trip.
Very pleasant, with the owner being helpful and friendly.
Very nice location at the very top of Clarens!
Views is a beautiful unit, very neat and modern, with all the necessary things that a self-catering unit requires. Beautiful view from the porch. Highly recommended.
Views are very neat and clean. Incredible view. Very close to hiking trails. Good quality bed and unit well furnished. Guests must only bring their own wood for the fireplace.
We enjoyed our stay, nice place and well maintained. The accommodation was clean and ready. The kitchen is also well-equipped. Guests just need to read the booking instructions as there is no one on site, and you need to pick up and deliver the keys in town at a different location. Also, take note that the gravel road to the guesthouse is not in good condition.
Very nice stay. Units are on top of each other and privacy is a bit limited.
Lovely location and facilities. Will visit and stay again.
Very nice stay, beautiful view with very nice sunrise, very neat and comfortable. Thank you very much.
Very convenient. Beautiful view.
Cute little place with everything you need. Very quiet with a nice view. Nice close to everything.
Very clean and tidy place with beautiful views. Will definitely stay again. Knowledge of owners. Fridge is all up, not working properly. Short electric blanket for winter and air conditioning for summer.
The stay was wonderful. The silence absolutely does it for me and my little wife. The unit is sufficient for 2 adults and 2 children, but may become cramped if one does not go out to the business area. The bathroom with a bath/shower and the toilet can also be a bit of a problem if there are men and women and one is in the shower/bath and someone needs to use the toilet.
Very nice and peaceful stay!
Quiet and special.
We had a great time staying at Views. The location is ideal if you want to be close to town but far enough for silence. The name is appropriate with the stoepie which offers the most beautiful views over the mountains and stars at night. Views were neat and the service great. We are going to go back to your house soon.
Clean, tidy and first choice accommodation.
It was an incredibly positive experience for us. The place Views is situated in such a way that the eagles and falcons are clearly visible. The walking route starts at Views. It is truly an experience. Our host and hostess were the kindness of themselves! Thank you for making us feel so welcome. The communication beforehand was really very inviting. Thank you.
We visit Views twice a year - it remains our choice for accommodation in Clarens. Always delicious.
Relaxing, fun, comfortable.
Views are a gem! This is truly one of the best self-catering units we have ever occupied. Everything, from collecting the key to our departure, went smoothly and effortlessly. The unit is beautifully equipped, was very neat and clean and had everything needed for a nice stay. The fact that there was solar backup for load shedding times was a huge bonus. And the view from the porch is unbeatable!
The benefits of the guest house can hardly be put into a few words! The view is breathtakingly beautiful, the area is peaceful and quiet! The arrangements and communication by the owners were excellent throughout. The unit was beautiful, neat and well equipped. The solar system has loadshedding chaff! There was nothing we could find fault with. The only downside was booking out! For the location, price and other factors I highly recommend this guest house!
And nice fireplace, 1 bucket of wood provided, take rest yourself.
We were well received. Place is equipped with everything needed. Very neat and clean.
Clarens is beautiful as always. The unit was beautifully clean and tidy, had a wonderful stay and will definitely come again. I give the WiFi 4 stars because the wind blew terribly and I think that's why it didn't work optimally, but we also had fun watching rugby!
Views are very hospitable. Had a great time in Clarens for the first time. The place was breathtaking.
The unit was perfect for us with the most beautiful view of the mountains. The fireplace was a winner for those chilly evenings.
Our caravan found a safe place.
We missed a comfortable seat inside. It was cold and could e.g. don't sit outside in the evening. Furthermore, you have thought of everything.
Arrangements are good, we were late but the key was available with all the information needed. Friendly landlords with a very clean area. Thank you.
The place was very neat and clean, with enough information to make our stay comfortable. We would stay there again anytime.
The porch with the braai is lovely. Just behind the house you can go for a nice walk and appreciate the mountains. Good value.
Very neat little place, we enjoyed the views and the fireplace. It is also very peaceful. Would like to stay there again if we go to Clarens.
Views are particularly well located. Well equipped with the necessary utensils to make your own food. The bed sleeps great. The solar power is amazing. I will definitely book there again.
Beautiful view. Canopy for car. Quiet environment, no noise and noise. We didn't even know when it was load shedding. The solar panels provided sufficient power for TV etc. This was our second visit to Views and would love to stay at Views again next time.
We had a really nice stay. The unit is so neat and clean and is equipped with everything you will need. The peaceful and picturesque atmosphere is of course the biggest attraction. We will definitely visit Views and Clarens again.
Great view and easy route to town.
Spectacular views and walks from the edge of town. Supremely comfortable and the friendliest host in Bastiaan who has attended to very fine details in providing a home-from-home for visitors.
We had a great stay, the view is breathtaking and the host friendly. The unit has everything we needed. Perfect for people who like peace and quiet. Will definitely go back again.
Beautiful and neat with an excellent location for nature lovers who appreciate silence. Lovely porch with breathtaking view.
Solar power during load shedding, as well as covered parking. Highly recommended.
We were warmly welcomed by Bastiaan and Alta as soon as we stepped in. Two lovely people - hospitable, friendly and warm people. We really enjoyed it, they stay on site, so if a problem arises they are immediately available and help you with kindness. It is probably one of the places with the most beautiful views. The photos of Views are an accurate representation of what you can expect. These are 2 heart people and will definitely stay there again in the future. When you get there, it feels like you've known them for years and when you check out, they feel like family. Many thanks Bastiaan and Alta for your kindness at all times. Thank you very much for a joyful visit, we enjoyed it very much and you have no worries about load shedding, there is power at all times, a big plus. Oh yes, they are right at the entrance to the reserve and the start of some walking routes so you can get your permit and also a map right at Bastiaan.
My 2 daughters and I went there to celebrate my 60th birthday. It was delicious. Views is perfectly located and offers everything you need.
Had a great stay at Views. Place is opposite a nature reserve that brings nice walks on the doorstep.
It is very neat and well maintained. Didn't even notice when it was "load shedding" because it was connected to a battery and solar power. Very convenient. Will definitely recommend it. The only negative perhaps in relation to Clarens, are their roads in the neighborhood. Poor dirt road with bits of tar in between.
Room is painfully neat with everything needed. Place is spacious for two adults, with two children it will get cramped. The dish barbecue on the balcony is a winner! Since one sometimes wants to lie in bed and read, the addition of reading lights would be very welcome. We have stayed in several places in Clarens and have now found the place we will return to.
Excellently set up for load shedding. All in good working condition. Peaceful owners.
Excellent stay - very clean and attends to your every need (drinking water, firewood, and the oom even helped us fix our flat tire).
Beautiful view of the mountains around Views. Friendly and very comfortable with battery support during load shedding.
Absolutely stunning position with mountain views in a fantastic village. The apartment was modern with all the necessities for a self-catering situation.
Well equipped with everything needed. Beautiful view! Would definitely recommend.
Dead quiet area with a beautiful view and easy access to the nature reserve. Lovely open air sun terrace for your morning coffee and cocktail.
We had an amazing time. Most beautiful view, very neat! Nice and quiet, just the place to shut down and relax.
Very clean and tidy.
The unit is well furnished and the view makes it extra special.
There is really everything one needs and is sparkling clean. Ideal place as a base to visit the area for a week. The view is really special. I would just maybe put a small table between the 2 chairs in front of the TV to put a wine glass or mug on in the evening. See you next winter!
The view takes one's breath away. It exceeded all expectations.
The view from the veranda is beautiful and the quiet, peaceful surroundings fit us like a glove. It was pleasant to meet the owner, Bastiaan, in person. He came to find out if anything in the unit needed attention, and also if we were satisfied and had everything we needed. The bathroom is neat but adequate, although people with limited mobility should take care getting in and out of the bath. Bastiaan is clearly a perfectionist! Everything in the unit is extremely neatly finished and in good working order. The solar system helped a lot in avoiding the inconvenience of load shedding to a large extent, as well as a gas duster which was useful during a very long and unexpected power outage. We hope to visit Clarens again soon and would love to stay at Views.
Beautifully appointed, better than anticipated - a real gem.
Views' rooms are clean and tidy and the owners are very friendly. The views are beautiful and Views is very close to a nice walking trail.
Very nice view, very neat, central and they are prepared for load shedding!
The unit is so well appointed and we had everything we needed. Some of the hiking trails start right next to the view and it was a nice trip with the most beautiful tiny flowers along the way. And of course the view of the mountains was special for us city dwellers. Delicious food in town with many choices. Would love to visit again.
Weekend stay with kids was a great break away from stressful city life. Second time in Clarens.
The units are very comfortable and clean. Beautiful views and porch. The area is very quiet and peaceful, excellent for a peaceful getaway.
Clean and tidy. Fireplace with wood for the cold winter evening a real winner. We arrived late and Bastiaan's "back-up" plan with keys works excellently. It was load shedding when we arrived and didn't even realize it until we checked the schedule. Definitely worth a next visit.
We were very happy there. They are the nicest couple and nothing is a problem. The view of the mountains is the best on the street. I would definitely recommend staying at Views.
Thank you very much for such a beautiful place where you can find yourself again. The silence that surrounds you when you sit on the stoep and the beautiful view. Neat and clean with everything you could need.
Views was the perfect place for a quick getaway from Johannesburg. Reasonably priced with a very clean and well equipped unit. The view is fantastic and dead quiet around you. A place where you can truly relax and find rest for your soul.
The solar system with battery backup is extremely convenient and a huge bonus! The streets to get to the accommodation are dirt, very dusty and in poor condition! At least luckily only about 1.5 km.
Nice views from balcony, hoped for some snow.
The apartment was very neat and clean. It was fully equipped and ideal for a family of 4. We will definitely book the place again.
Enjoyable time, nice stove with wood provided by owner, beautiful view.
We have been to Views several times and return there again and again when we visit the Eastern Free State. It's a neat, well-equipped place with everything you need for a few days' stay. Thank you very much again.
Yes, comfortable living area and braai area on porch. Special location.
Have stayed in better places. The service is very limited.
We had a great time. Everything you need was there. View breathtaking. Neatly clean and would definitely like to visit there again.
Very neat and a lovely view. We enjoyed it very much.
It is really value for money and the unit is perfect and tidy.
These days, the most beautiful and best holiday accommodation can be spoiled when guests are suddenly left in the dark due to load shedding. Views promises that guests still have electricity during load shedding and this contributes greatly to making the stay there an enjoyable experience. The WiFi is also strong and reliable and nothing can spoil the breathtaking view of the sandstone cliffs from Views' veranda.
Anyone can feel free to book highly recommended.
This cute little place outside the town's location was ideal for us to start all our walking routes. It's small but has everything we needed. The patio provides breathtaking views. My next walking holiday will start here at Views again!
Good value for money.
We really enjoyed the stay and really enjoyed the scenery in the adjacent reserve. The hiking trails are fantastic, the pond and waterfalls beautiful. We would love to stay at Views again on our next visit to Clarens. The balcony with the beautiful view of the mountains is a bonus.
Everything was clean and tidy and working properly in the unit. Due to solar power and backup batteries, this guest house is load shedding free! There is also sufficient water supply while continuous WiFi and DStv kept the teenagers well occupied. When you step out of the unit you are in open nature and at the foot of the mountains. We will definitely come back again! Thank you, Stefan.
Definitely a place to book but request for daily cleaning services.
Views certainly offer very good value for money. Neat, comfortable, well appointed. Everything you need for a few days' visit in Clarens. Beautiful view is a bonus.
Views have the most beautiful view. The unit is very well equipped and the surroundings peaceful. For someone who doesn't feel like walking around the village, this was a lovely escape from a busy city with only nature around you.
Two units are ideal for families with children. It is well equipped and bed linen and towels are neat and clean. I would only recommend that there could be a small washcloth by the sinks.
Very nice place and friendly owners.
What a wonderful unit, fully equipped and the friendliest host. Room was lovely, with the most beautiful view. Nice and cozy with the fireplace. Nice walking trail just opposite the unit. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.
Here you can find your soul again.
The accommodation was comfortable and clean. Will definitely stay there again.
The accommodation is practical and large enough for a family. The owners have made an effort to provide for load shedding with a gas stove, boiler, lights etc. The load shedding probably contributed to the fluctuating WiFi. We will go back again.
It was a lovely place to stay.
We have absolutely no complaints. Our only problem was a faulty kettle, but that can happen anywhere. Oh, and the Wi-Fi internet a bit slow. But otherwise, the unit was very clean and tidy, and has a nice warm fireplace. You get a beautiful view of the mountains from the balcony. There's 2 blocks of dirt road to get to it, but it's not bad. All in all, a fantastic experience. I recommend Views to anyone! Will definitely stay here again.
Slept over on the way to the sea. Favorable circumstances.
Nice and cozy thanks to the fireplace and wall heaters. Convenient wifi and standby lights during load shedding. Beautiful view of the mountains and easy access to the nature reserve. Definitely a perfect holiday destination if you want to explore Clarens and surroundings.
The place is well taken care of and everything was fine for us.
The residences exceeded all our expectations. Would highly recommend it.
All that needs some attention is the municipal road to Views.
House has everything needed. Clean, safe and beautiful view. Will stay there again.
Sho, would recommend any one. Have given many your number as references. Accommodation has the most beautiful location and best view.
Very neat place. If there is what one needs. Will definitely visit again.
Beautiful view on the mountain. Clean and tidy. Everything we needed was there, friendly service and advance confirmation received from Bastiaan. I would definitely recommend it and go there again myself.
Really a beautiful stay with a beautiful view. Would definitely recommend!
Very cute neat little place with everything you need for a quick getaway. Most beautiful view of the mountains and very conveniently located.
Will use Views again!
We were very pleased with the cleanliness of the accommodation. There is everything one needs. Would definitely recommend.
The views are very beautiful and you live in nature. You can clear your head well.
Views were very clean and tidy with everything needed for a 2-3 day stay. Very well equipped. We really enjoyed our time there and would have liked to stay longer. I can definitely recommend it. Definitely good value for money in my opinion.
Too cramped for 4 adults.
The advertisement on the website is misleading - there is a master bedroom, but the second room with two single beds is part of the kitchen/dining area - the advertisement gives the impression of two rooms. We are two older ladies and then one of us had to sleep in the living area without any privacy.
Everything you need is there and more.
It's location is perfect. Maybe a bit small for a family of 4 with small children, but the owner is very friendly and as we say, the view is great and the surroundings are very peaceful.
We were very kindly received by Bastiaan. The unit has everything you need and provision has been made for the fireplace. Very neat with a breathtaking view. Will definitely stay there again.
Provision is made for experienced and inexperienced walkers.
Nice stay. Calm and quiet. Beautiful.
Beautiful sunrise over the valley.
Only problem - if there is load shedding, the water supply is also cut off. Sufficient provision has been made for alternative energy (light, heat, stove) but little provision for "no water".
The dirt road to Views was just not very pleasant.
Very neat accommodation - well equipped for the cold.
Very nice unit. We especially enjoyed the fireplace!
We spent 4 nights in Clarens and saw a lot.
We had a lovely stay in Clarens. Accommodation was clean, neat, and well stocked. We had everything we needed, and more for a restful scenic stay! The hosts were warm and inviting. A highly recommended facility.
Beautiful place with the most beautiful view. Very friendly service and owners received us kindly regardless of the problems with booking.
My husband suffers from sleep apnea and sleeps with a sleep machine that requires electricity. The power went out twice so he couldn't hit.
Might just recommend that the carport maybe get gates on it. Feeling a bit unsafe.
Near nice hiking trail.
We had two lovely days at Views. The place was neat, clean, very comfortable, very well equipped for a 3 to 4 day visit. Very definitely good value for money. Would love to go back again.
Upon our arrival we were kindly received, the accommodation is neat, clean and well equipped. Everything worked fine. We rested and visited. The only thing we didn't take into account was the piece of dirt road we had to drive. We were riding a motorcycle and didn't plan for the dirt road.
We really enjoyed the beautiful views. The room and adjacent rooms are clean and beautifully furnished with everything you need for a self-catering unit.
See stars.
Beautiful accommodation, location and nature are breathtaking. Friendly and hospitable owners. We will definitely see Views again.
Would recommend the accommodation to anyone. Clean, tidy, affordable and very nice view of the mountains.
Incredible place. The place is well cared for and well looked after. It is for anyone who needs a break and just enjoys nature. The owners are very friendly and helpful with any questions.
Very nice stay. Would recommend to anyone. Beautiful view of the mountains.
Good value for money and a beautiful view of the mountains in Clarens. Everything one could need away from home. Nice browsing in the shops.
Views has the most amazing view. It's a quiet environment with safe walking routes. It is very neat and clean. I would recommend Views.
Just the place to fill that empty cup again. The view, surroundings and the beautiful house are just the place. Will definitely recommend and visit again. Best stay ever.
Not the first time, certainly not the last. Thanks Views.
Nice place and view.
The location is very nice. Views are beautiful. We really enjoyed and made good use of the hiking trails nearby. The view on balcony is really valuable.
What a beautiful place, not to mention the view. What an experience. Everything is within walking distance from Views. There are also the most beautiful hiking trails in the area which gave us a sense of freedom. Views are neat and met all our needs. Would definitely recommend it to anyone with a clear heart.
The owners were very friendly and helpful. The chalet was clean, tidy and well equipped with everything you need. The environment is very quiet and safe. Although it's a bit of a walk to town, it's still not too far. The view from the stoep is very beautiful.
Enjoyed that the on-property owners did not intrude on our privacy.
I would definitely recommend Views.
My non-negotiable requirements were a fireplace, a beautiful view and painfully tidy. We got everything and more! Even a call from the host to warn us about loadshedding and tell us where everything we need is, just in case. Can recommend 100%.
It is so quiet that the silence speaks to you.
The scenery is breathtaking. Would recommend to anyone.
It's nice and close to the village and all the restaurants in Clarens. My fiancé and I were very impressed. Many thanks to Views for the effort.
Neat and clean. Everything you need is there. Would recommend to anyone who likes tranquility and the scenery.
Will definitely want to go back again. Our family really enjoyed staying at Views. Most beautiful view!
It was the most beautiful view ever, with a glass of wine, a fire and the mountain in front of you. Breathtaking.
This beautiful secluded little cottage is great for a weekend away to recharge and relax. The owner is very friendly, helpful and easy going. I will definitely be staying here again and would recommend it to anyone thinking of visiting Clarens for a quiet weekend away. It's situated right next to the Clarens nature reserve too, so you can go for some nice walks if you fancy! The view over Clarens is also spectacular, especially in the morning with a nice cup of coffee.
Perfectly tidy and secure unit in a prime location in Clarens. More than a self-catering apartment with a Weber outside, a wood stove in the room and plenty of everything in the compact but well equipped kitchen. Other amenities that include WiFi and DStv made our stay so comfortable. Then the view, sunset and sunrise make it very special. We are definitely going to stay in the Views again, if the opportunity arises.
Thank you very much for a wonderful few days at views. The apartment was clean and tidy. Everything you need is there. The stoep with a braai was a winner. The view is breathtaking!! Would recommend to anyone.
We loved absolutely everything about this accommodation. It is so beautiful, so much attention given to detail, excellence in everything, the most beautiful view over the mountains, surrounded by walking routes, set in a stunning and newer part of Clarens and very friendly and helpful owners. We have told so many people about this place already and will definitely be coming back.
Stunning. Beautiful view. Home away from home!
We really enjoyed our stay at Views. Yes, it is 1.7 km from the town, but it was nice for us not to sleep in the center of the town. It is so peaceful at the Views and the view is fantastic. Would definitely recommend and would go there again.
The view is so beautiful, and it's so peaceful. One rests wonderfully. The owners are very friendly and we received excellent service and would definitely like to stay there again.
Everything we needed was there. Very neat and comfortable. Will definitely go again.
Beautiful, neat place with nice views over the mountains. We had a nice stay. Very friendly and helpful host and hostess.
Beautiful views and walking paths.
Very peaceful and the view is breathtaking.
Views are just that, incredible views when you step out onto your private patio. Everything you could need was provided, even the fireplace wood on night 2. We had a wonderful stay.
Ideally situated on top of a ridge with marvellous views and adjacent to the Clarens Nature Reserve. Several beautiful walks can be safely undertaken.
Very nice clean, quiet and beautiful view over Clarens.
To even go with a group of friends would be amazing!.
Great facilities, but advert is misleading, can't take 4 adults, beds are too small.
Stayed there for 2 nights on our way from Cape Town to Pongola and stayed there again on the way back.
The house is nicely located with great views. I have appreciated the peace and tranquillity.
Beautiful view of the mountains. Hiking trails are on our doorstep. Feel free to hire a cleaning service to clean the place daily.
Had a great time, will go back again.
See stars.
Best place in Clarens, will never look for another place there. Owners are friendly and very helpful. Caring people. The best.
Excellent location overlooking the valley. Very neat. Friendly service. We will definitely come again and then stay a little longer than the 4 nights. I would just like to know where they bought that mattress in unit 2. I'm 2 meters tall and usually struggle with beds in holiday homes - my back is often down. This mattress provided great support and would like to get one as well.
The place is beautiful and clean. We had a very nice stay. Would recommend anytime.
Where to start? Views are clean and tidy. The most beautiful view of the mountain ranges. The silence and tranquility with only the sounds of nature was fantastic. The unit is equipped with everything you need. So many hiking trails just out the door to choose from. We enjoyed enjoying the sunrise early in the morning with a cup of coffee and enjoying the tranquility and beautiful view until late at night. Wow, wow, wow. I can't wait to go again. Views truly exceeded our expectations.
Nothing else, great place to stay and the view from the balcony is spectacular.
The unit is excellently equipped and you have everything you need available. This is excellent accommodation. Thank you very much!
The furniture is of excellent quality. The host lives on site and we really had an excellent time. Can definitely recommend and will definitely choose Views as my 1st choice when visiting Clarens. Andre and Viola
Friendly people, beautiful view.
Any person needs rest for his soul along with his family. It certainly is at Views. Friendliness, safety, enjoyment and more. Words cannot describe, go and experience what true rest is for your soul.
Everything exactly as promised in the photos. We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely come again!

Magnificent views, well equipped, clean as a whistle. Will definitely go there again.
Will definitely stay there again and recommend to anyone else who is looking for a place in Clarens.
Host helpful, friendly. Environment picturesque. Mountain walks delicious. Town a must see.
We had a great time and rested. The place is well furnished and has everything you need. The view is breathtaking. Thank you Bastiaan for meeting us, it changed everything and made our time so much more enjoyable.
Very nice place to stay with the most beautiful view over Clarens and the mountains. Had a great barbecue and sat on the porch and just enjoyed the view. Fireplace was an absolute bonus is the cold weather. Will definitely book the unit again.
Will definitely visit again!
We were stunned by the view! The place was painfully neat and very tasteful! We had no DStv and were a bit worried about our vehicle. There is no fence, but we are not used to the crime-free Clarens! We will visit there again! That's for sure!
Place modern and ideal for a getaway, most beautiful mountain view. Value for money.
Beautiful, neat place with very friendly reception. Views is definitely the right choice, breathtakingly beautiful! We will definitely go again.
Dstv off for hours at a time. Reported this several times. Would have appreciated it if at least the veranda and braai got cleaned daily.
Awesome little self catering unit. No oven but there is a fridge with a hot plates for cooking. A quick 5 min drive to the central square. Definite value for money.
Lovely, small, cosy units. They have beautiful views of the mountains. Very peaceful. Trails are just a step away.
Fresh air, clean nature, hospitable people.
We will definitely use Views again. Location is perfect for going for a walk with children in the mountain and enjoying the view from there.
Host was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely use Views again in the future.
Thank you for a lovely stay. Very clean, tidy and the location and view are indescribable.
A nice place for a quick weekend getaway.
The Views was extremely beautiful and peaceful, for sure a destination to rest your soul, but still close to do something. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience.
Very cute place. Hiking trails literally start at the door. The view is breathtaking. Can't wait to go back.
Godly tranquility and incredible vistas. This is a place for sitting on the stoep and enjoying views. This is not a place for being in bed and watching TV. Climb in your car and drive, drive or ride your bike, you're really free. The cottage is cosy and just the place for a rest. Neat and clean with all the basic stuff. I want to go again and again to the same cottage with Clarens that has so much to do.
Very tidy with everything you need!
We had a lovely time. Quiet, clean, safe and reasonably priced.
This was our first visit to Clarens and it won't be the last. We will definitely recommend Views to all our friends and family. It is quiet and peaceful with an incredible view as it is located quite high up. Friendly hospitable people. Well-kept garden.
See stars.
'n Baie mooi rustige eenheid. Alles wat jy nodig het, is daar. Sal beslis teruggaan. Dankie, Bastian.
From the time we arrived to our departure we met the friendly and helpful Bastiaan and his wife. We were 3 adults and Views stole our hearts. The apartment was neat and we were going to find fault. I wish there were more stars to mark because I would have marked it. We will definitely go back to Views.
Very neat, will go again.
Very neat and breathtaking surroundings.
Nice getaway from town. Beautiful view of the mountain.
Very pleasant, neat unit, friendly reception and service. Beautiful location, quiet and safe.
Thank you to Tobie for a wonderful place to stay, as well as your hospitality by helping with anything. We really had everything we needed to sleep comfortably, make good food, be warm and even watch the Springboks game. The highlight for me was the view. Beautiful mountains that we could see better from the side of town and on a hill than in other places in town. The park with its hiking trails, which is just across the street, is wonderfully quiet and so inviting. If there's anything I need to point out that might be a problem for someone, it's that you share a wall with people on one side. It may be disturbing for people without children if there are small children next door. This was not a problem for us at all, as there were no children with the people next to us. We were the people with a child, but at least an older child, so I don't believe we would bother anyone.
Accommodation was neat. Hospitality top quality. Close to everything. Have a nice time. Will definitely use Views again.
Most beautiful place! Great stay!
The stay was very nice enjoyed it a lot. Would definitely book there again. Dirt road just a little bad after the stay. But the rest makes up for it. Thank you very much.
The guest house is located high up and has a beautiful view over the village of Clarens and mountains! The reserve is just behind the house where you can enjoy walking, jogging or mountain biking. The unit is neat. I especially enjoyed the wood duster and it made the unit cozily warm! Will definitely visit Views again.
Roads just a bit bad to get to the top of the mountain if the car is low, so vans can easily move there. All worth it for the beautiful views!
Perfect spot for a couple or even a young family. The view is exceptional, and you feel like you are at the highest point in Clarens. Even a great view when lying in bed in the mornings. The unit was very neat and comfortable. You are far away from the city centre to not hear the hustle and bustle. Right by the starting point of the numerous hiking trails.
Breathtaking mountain views, nice hiking trails. We took on quite a few. The owner of the Views was very helpful and friendly. Everything in the unit was nice, clean and neat. We will definitely go again.
Views 1 is marketed as a 2-bedroom unit for 4 adults. Please note there is no space for 4 people to socialize except on the patio. The fireplace is in the bedroom and there are only 2 upright chairs to sit in front of the fireplace. (Other people should sit on the bed). The sliding door to the veranda is also in this room, so the people staying in the other bedroom must walk through this bedroom all the time to sit outside. The kitchen is very small. It may be suitable for quick heating in the microwave, but certainly not 100% self-catering. Also no seating for 4 people at the kitchen table. Furthermore, the shower is inside the bath. The glass partition also makes the taps unattainable unless one first gets inside. So my 73-year-old mother struggled to bathe or shower. Since the units are connected, one hears when the neighbors watch TV, talk to each other, and so on. The unit is also attached to the main house where the owners live. Furthermore, the security gate did not lock. At least the unit was clean and the beds comfortable. I would only recommend this for a family with small children (who can already bath themselves) and if you just want to make breakfast yourself.
Unit is very small, the shower is in the bath and there is no place to socialise. Wi-Fi did not work. Could log in but nothing happened! Even after we called all the numbers no one answered and we were without Wi-Fi the whole weekend.
Beautiful place and value for money.
We could note have hope for better quality apart from the beautiful view and nice place. Thank you to Bastiaan and Alta who helped us with load-shedding. The garden is beautiful and everything is neat and clean.
Our stay at Views was perfect. The place was clean and had everything we needed, including a fire place for the cold rainy weekend. The location was also great as it was nice and quiet and the view is brilliant. Thank you to Bastiaan and Alta for a great stay.
New and neat. Good location.
Well located, great view! Quiet and peaceful. The accommodation has everything you need! Would definitely stay there again and recommend to others. Thank you for the wonderful place!
Very spacious, very comfortable, modern and neat with stunning view. Has absolutely everything you need.
A fireplace, enough firewood and money in your pocket, seeing as the accommodation is very affordable. It was a winning recipe for a nice weekend.
Breathtaking, the name of the place describes it 100%, stunning view, would recommend it to anyone. Quiet, you can just relax, sit on the veranda and just relax away from the hustle and bustle.
See stars.
The owner of the guest house is also an old Pretorianer and very friendly. He once again made me think deeply about early retirement and Clarens offers one the ideal atmosphere to come and reflect.
Had an absolute blast. The views are spectacular and Bastiaan and his wife were very friendly and welcoming.
Beautiful view! Well equipped. They thought of everything.
Excellent experience - recommended for anyone interested.
Welcome arrival, everyone in the village and where one gets the key is friendly, very nice accommodation, comfortable for 4 people, and you have a view of the mountain. Too beautiful for words.
It's a very nice place, it was a plus that we could bring our pets along. The place is nicely furnished, very clean and has everything you need. The bed sleeps like a dream and the spot has the most beautiful view to look at. It is very safe and quiet.
The Views is a very nice place to stay. Will stay for more than just a weekend. So still and so perfect for a "couple" who wants to get away.
Very neat and clean accommodation. Personal attention from the staff and owner. Very professional and helpful regarding the area and town.
Peaceful, quiet area with lovely views of town. The rooms were cosy and well equipped. Would definitely go again.
The accommodation was very neat and in a very quiet part of town. I would recommend that you just add a fan for the warmer days, but as it is so safe, you can sleep with the doors open. The view from the veranda is breathtaking and I will spend a weekend there and I must say that the owners are very friendly, helpful and considerate. Load shedding is also no problem as there is already a stove, kettle and light that can work without power. It was really an amazing weekend and a great place to stay.
Situated highly, it offers beautiful views - mountains and village. Hosts are very friendly and cordial and we were welcomed with champagne because I mentioned it is our wedding anniversary. Pleasant place very comfortable and tastefully equipped. The closest hiking trail in mountains starts right next to the house. Very quiet and calm environment. Clarence, of course, has his own charm. Many interesting shops, art galleries, beer breweries, many eateries, etc. Will definitely go again.
Lovely cozy place with excellent views of the mountain. Enjoyed our stay.
The owners were very friendly, accommodation very neat and clean, beautiful view, Clarens nice place.
We will definitely stay here again. The fireplace and beautiful view are unbeatable!
A quiet and peaceful area with a very nice view. Rooms are neat and well furnished. We especially enjoyed the fireplace.
Ons het baie lekker gebly, sal beslis Views aanbeveel!
Neat accommodation and comfortable. The two bedroom unit is perfect for two people. Customer service is good. The grill is a Weber grill, not a gas grill. The view over the mountains is beautiful. Linen is clean and tidy. The unit is compact. The wood stove in the bedroom is very effective in heating the unit.
