98 guests' feedbackThe Periwinkle was perfect for our weekend getaway. The location is very convenient and is within walking distance of the square with the nice shops.
Felt like home. Really enjoyed the stay.
The house was larger than expected, stunningly beautiful and very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The view is incredible and it's around the corner from the village (can easily walk). A wonderful place to stay in Clarens! Communication was also excellent.
Very tidy, walking distance to restaurants. Everything one needs. Breathtaking view and quiet. I would go back again anytime. Highly recommended.
We had a pleasant time, and very nice stay.
Very comfortable beds, ideal location, has all you need.
Lovely accommodation with a breathtaking view.
Hi, thank you very much, it was great! True version of the photos and everything nice and clean and stylish.
We had a nice stay. Just think the house is outdated (towels and linen). The price compares with many other similar but more luxurious accommodations.
Nice house but mattresses on ground floor old and uncomfortable. Broken light bulbs everywhere. Veranda outside otherwise ok.
We had a wonderful time with our friends. The home is well-appointed cosy and comfy.
See stars.
It was a great treat that Dina came in promptly every day to clean and tidy up. The gas stove is also a bonus during load shedding. A kettle for the gas stove will help!
A lovely house with spacious bedrooms, living room, dining room and a large kitchen. The house is equipped with everything one needs. Most beautiful view and walking distance to shops and restaurants. Check in and check out was easy and quick. Good value for money.
This is a beautiful home, well-equipped, immaculate, sparkling clean, and spacious and each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom. We travelled with friends to a wedding in the area and we're so glad we found Periwinkle Blue. Really close to town, but peaceful and perfect in every way. Thank you.
We have rented the house several times and have never been disappointed. Great location, walking distance to the shops and restaurants. Beautiful mountain views. Good, friendly reception by Gavin. Many thanks to Dina who comes in every day to clean the house - what a treat. See you again in July.
Lovely spacious house, well located to explore the town on foot, but out of the (buzz), with a beautiful view of the mountains. Dolores kept us up to date with any power and water issues that occurred, which was much appreciated.
We had a wonderful stay at Periwinkle, it is far enough out of town and also close enough to walk into town which is such a treat. The house was clean and as advertised, the helper is a wonderful lady and such an added bonus.
We had a great time in this comfortable house which is within walking distance of all places to visit and shops. The house is well equipped with everything you will need and we really can't complain about anything. Dina, the friendly housekeeper, tidied up the house and washed the dishes every day. We will definitely want to visit here again when we visit Clarens in the future.
Very pleasant house, spacious rooms each with underfloor heating and TVs. Very good location. Would easily be back again for a longer visit.
The house is very spacious, neat and well equipped. Beautiful view and quiet environment.
Great views, lots of space.
We had a very nice stay. The maid was very helpful and always friendly. The dining room chairs could do with covers and there weren't enough soda glasses available.
It is a very nice holiday home with enough space. Nice decor. The garden is well maintained. We recommend purchasing a meat bowl and salad spoons. The outdoor table is very weathered and therefore the surface is uneven, which led to the breaking of glasses.
The house is well laid out. Rooms are very tastefully furnished. The beds and bedding were wonderful resulting in a good night's rest. The house was neat and clean and well equipped. The furniture was comfortable and the views were stunning.
Maybe some better pillows would be my only recommendation. And WiFi.
The nicest setting for a visit, with the most beautiful view. So neat and comfortable. The cleaning help is very reliable and helpful. Thank you very much.
The place is very neat. We had a really nice stay.
Had a great 3 nights, excellent location and very comfortable.
Nice spacious house with a nice view. Nicely close to all the shops and places to visit.
I enjoyed the set out of the unit, 4 bedrooms - 2 up stairs with a sitting area and balcony. 2 Downstairs, with sitting room, dining room and kitchen. Each bedroom has underfloor heating and en suite bathrooms, as well as TV's. Big unit, accommodates 8 adults easily.
Exceptional value for money.
Periwinkle Blue is situated within walking distance from the main road of Clarens. The views are stunning and the position of the upstairs lounge area and bedrooms is lovely. However, the underfloor heating was not working in the lounge and dining room downstairs. We could not use that area until the manager, Gavin, arranged 2 gas heaters. He also sorted out the geyser as we did not have much hot water initially.
What a grate place to stay. Beautiful and everything you needed. Good for the soul. Grateful.
The spacious, stylish house, with many sitting areas inside and outside, has 4 bedrooms, each en-suite. Very good option for mature people who want to stay together and visit privately. I do recommend that the beds, linens and pillows should be replaced, they are very old and no longer sleep well.
We were there with our small children and dog. We would love to stay here again. The house is nice and spacious, very neat and beautiful. The garden was big and nice for our small children (3 years and 1 year old) and dog. All the rooms have underfloor heating and a TV in the rooms. The kitchen is nice and big, the house is easy to live in.
Exceeded all expectations, very neat place to stay. Will definitely stay there again.
Revamp required to keep the house more functional. There was no Wi-Fi too. It needs a revamp as it was difficult to open the doors. The house had balconies but we couldn't open it so couldn't enjoy the view. The geysers were getting tripped every time and therefore couldn't have a hot water bath.
The house is very well located, close enough to walk easily to the main square, and far enough that you are able to rest properly. Great view as well. The property is nice and big, perfect for a group stay.
Pleasantly surprised with the wonderful place, will definitely stay there again!
Great atmosphere and beautiful decor. Will definitely visit here again.
It was clean and beautiful. It's always nice to be able to go back. The working lady, Diana, is helpful, neat and punctual. We stayed very comfortably and had a great time.
Periwinkle Blue was absolutely perfect. It has a stunning garden and is completely private. Each of the 4 bedrooms has it's own bathroom which we really appreciated. It felt like home away from home.
Recommend Periwinkle Blue for accommodation in Clarens.
I will be going back.
Constructive feedback: No Wi-Fi, replace DStv B&B bouquet with Wi-Fi. No coffee machine. Some cutlery needs replacing. 90 out of 100.
Beautiful, spacious house with everything one might need. Private with nice views, but close enough to the malls to walk.
Large, lovely rooms, each with its own bathroom. Good quality bedding. Different places to hang out, enough for everyone. Contains everything you need and more. Best vacation home ever. Will definitely return.
We had heavy rain, so the water was flooding into the top floor lounge from the balcony. A few repairs needed but nothing that compromised the quality of our stay.
Comfortable house with all you need. Lovely views and a short walk to town. Definitely recommended, and will be back.
We are definitely coming back. We loved the space to ourselves.
Only the 2 room's underfloor heating was on. Furthermore, the house was freezing cold, impersonal, nothing to make coffee.
Great house, lovely rooms, has everything one needs, love the fact that all 4 bedrooms are en-suite. Needs a bit of maintenance in general.
Will definitely stay at Perriwinkle Blue again, need nothing more!!! Love the house!!
This guest house is a gem. Excellent, tidy accommodation with everything you need. Gavin, the booking agent, provided excellent service and met all our needs. We spent a wonderful, peaceful weekend here. The quilts on the beds are beautiful and create a luxurious, homely atmosphere. We will definitely be back and will recommend the accommodation to everyone.
Very centrally located, spacious house with 4 bedrooms. Nice visit areas with braai and nice garden. Lovely sunshine in rooms in the morning. Excellent value for money. Nice view and quiet even though you are only a stone's throw from the main street of Clarens.
House is very nice, needs more lights for loadshedding, otherwise everything is awesome.
Booked long weekend for my husband's birthday. Was a fantastic house with the most beautiful view. We wanted to stay longer. Fantastic location close to the town centre. Thanks, Dina, for all your help.
This house is absolutely fantastic! There was nothing to complain about. House has everything you need, view is amazing and nice walking distance from town! Would go back anytime.
Lovely spacious house. 4 rooms. Close to everything.
I will stay there again if we go to Clarens again. No doubt. Absolute value for money. Most beautiful view of the mountains and it is literally in the town. I would be able to recommend it to anyone.
The garden is a gorgeous and has a breathtaking view! The house is very comfortably furnished with enough privacy for each room. Also within easy walking distance of the town center. We had a wonderful time, thank you!
The house and everything you need for a pleasant weekend/holiday, nice view of the mountains and very quiet environment to rest even though it is against the town.
All was super, but for one thing: gas for the fireplace was enough for one night only and we were there two nights.
It is within walking distance for restaurants and shops.
Our group was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful home. The access road from the main road is a dirt road and slightly sloped if you, like us, drive with Harleys. The house is beautiful, well laid out, each room has an en-suite bathroom. Very spacious, large kitchen and nice places to hang out around the house. I can recommend it. Will definitely stay there again.
Lovely house, nice view. Service is outstanding.
We had a great time as a family. Accommodation was wonderful and view breathtaking. Would definitely recommend and definitely return for our next visit to Periwinkle Blue.
Met ons aankoms was Dinah reeds by die huis om ons te verwelkom en die sleutels te oorhandig. Die huis het al ons verwagtinge oortref. Voorwaar een van die beste plekke waar ons nog ooit vir 'n naweek oorgebly het.
Client service was excellent. The place is well-equipped. Very neat and keys are easy to come by.
View from porch is a dream!
A very upmarket accommodation. Clean. Close to town.
Our stay in Periwinkle Blue was lovely. The property is spacious, well furnished and has a homecoming atmosphere. The decor is beautiful and the linen is of good quality. The house is within walking distance of the town which makes it extremely convenient. We never felt unsafe. In the kitchen, however, there is a shortage of large ladles, egg spatulas and aprons. The woman who works in the house is very friendly and helpful.
Neat, clean and well appointed.
Excellent accommodation, spacious, clean, great view, excellent facilities.
What a special place. The rooms were all beautiful with lovely decor. The fireplace, warm blankets and underfloor heating were absolutely a huge bonus for our cold wet weekend. The kitchen is wonderfully equipped with everything you could need. We would love to stay here again.
Had a lovely stay with everything we needed.
Periwikle Blue is a very pleasant, warm place. Enough space for a whole family to hang out together without being in each other's way.
A stunning place with a fantastic location. Will definitely use it again!
Thanks so much for the professional wat things were dealt with. Our accommodation was pleasant and cosy and we felt welcome. We will definitely stay there again.
Very family friendly accommodation.
Peaceful experience in an incredibly beautiful part of our country.
We had the whole house to ourselves, and could choose from the 4 rooms. We had a really nice stay and really enjoyed the porch.
I had a nice stay although it is strange that there is no interaction with the owner/manager. Only Dina, the cleaner, is present in the mornings and she is very helpful. So I also had to help explain to guests who had booked how to access their room. The keys I got to unlock the front gate only worked from the inside. So if I wanted to gain access from the outside, I opened the car gate. Although it was confirmed in writing that there was a hairdryer in the room, there was none available. I did then locate one in the kitchen.
Very neat, well equipped and great location close to everything - walking distance.
We had a lovely time. The accommodation was ideal for us as a family. Beautiful rooms and fully equipped kitchen. Everyone is very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend it.
We were a family of seven who spent two nights at Periwinkle's. The house is well equipped and the rooms very comfortable. The view over the Malutis is exceptional. All this beautiful home lacks is a little "TLC". Small things that need attention, but which do not hinder one's comfort. The Weber braai is loin lame and tired, its best days are over. Diana was very good to us and came to fix the house every day. I happily recommend Periwinkle to prospective guests - you won't regret it.
The house is very well located and very comfortable. Diana provides a very good cleaning service. The house currently needs some maintenance to repair small things.
All negative is that the upper rooms are very hot, especially now with the very hot summer nationwide. An air conditioner on the upper floor would be a big plus. DStv decoder in one of the upper rooms is also out of order.
Braai facilities were not quite sufficient for 8 adults.
We really felt at home in the beautiful house with a breathtaking view. The genuine hospitality made our holiday very special. We can truly recommend Periwinkle Blue. Thank you very much.
Thank you for the incredible experience with the most beautiful view and five star facilities. Definitely recommended for any families!
The rooms are very nice, clean and tidy. Slept very well and woke up with a beautiful view. Very good and fast service.
It was so refreshing to see the mountains and the entire environment. I do not feel like I missed out on anything during my time at Periwinkle Blue, because I really enjoyed my stay.
See the stars below.
Very neat and well equipped, would love to come again!
We had a very nice stay.
Periwinkle Blue met all our expectations. Thank you very much for all the effort!
