    I loved everything

    The environment where it was situated, the cleanliness of the place. The vintage look was absolutely refreshing. The peace and quiet felt like we were staying by ourselves in a home. The host was very friendly and accommodating, they provided one with everything needed for self catering and even a personal braai space with all equipment. The bathroom was beautiful and clean and the fire place created such an amazing atmosphere. It was definitely hard to leave and I would recommend everybody try out this place atleast once. .

    Minda is really lovely and helps with whatever you need. The place is in exceptional condition and one of the best places we have stayed in. We have booked with Baris for the second time this year and it was even better than the 1st time we stayed here. Try the braai package that they offer - exceptional!!! thank you Baris

    Shower gel or body wash could be included with the shampoo in the bathroom.

    Situated close enough to Clarens main town but away from the hustle and bustle! Peaceful and restful with all the attention to detail. Decor was impressive and well stocked kitchen which gave it that homely yet authentic farm stay feel!

    There was mention on the website and info sheet in the room about a hiking trail. But there is no signage or little map of where you can walk/hike around. Doesnt feel right to just walk around the property. Maybe there are off limits areas that they should maybe stipulate. But other than tiny thing, absolutely amazing place to stay!!!

    The owner (Minda) is so kind and welcoming. The unit was so comfortable and absolutely beatifully decorated. The farm is also beautiful and impeccably maintained. Its very convenient that the Baris Monger (restaurant) is only a few meters away, they serve delicious food! Thoroughly enjoyed my stay!

    Baris is our favourite place to stay in Clarens. The rooms are absolutely gorgeous, with a wood fire, amazing comfy king bed, stunning claw-foot bathtub, and full kitchen. We always appreciate the private braai area to cook up some local produce. The restaurant/cafe on site is so special, serving an INCREDIBLE breakfast and loads of tasty preserves and cheeses. The sheep and goats on the property are always fun to watch, too. Hosts are so lovely and we always feel so welcome. Simply perfect.

    The owner greeted us warmly. She fulfilled our request for a bowl of berries and non-alcoholic champagne and added extra brownies! The farm is a lovely weekend break and there is much to see and do in the town nearby, Clarens.
