    Everything was great!

    It was beautiful accomodation and a wonderful first experience of Clarens. We felt so spoiled with such exquisite rooms, added thoughts to make it so warm and comfortable . Would definitely recommend others to stay here and will visit again ourselves. Thank you for a 5 star experience. The food was excellent as well.

    Breakfast is served independently at the restaurant on site. They say between 8AM and 10AM. Both days they were not open by 8AM. The first morning we had to be in Clarens by 9AM, so we did not have time to wait. On the second morning, we waited more than half an hour without anyone saying anything to us, so we left. I must say, this was a let down on the trip.

    Beautiful surroundings in the Drakensburg. We took our dogs with. They got on well with the owners’ dogs.

    Flies on farm and lack of amenities to sort that out. Staff cleaning also not always on point. Don’t bank on a great breakfast

    We have no complaints. We enjoyed every aspect of the stay!

    The facilities were beautiful as well as the scenery. We really enjoyed the room, and the breakfast was amazing! It is close enough to Clarens so you can go walk around and enjoy the restaurants, but it is isolated enough to feel intimate and quiet. We will definitely be back in the future!

    A beautiful sandstone guest house typical of Clarens, recommended.

    We were there over VERY cold weekend, and the room we were in was cold oil heater and built-in fireplace (bring your own wood or buy in Clarens). There were electric blankets so bed was100%. Would have been nice to be able to buy wood at the farm for convenience. The unit (Pintje) would be stunning in warmer weather

    The staff, location, views and rooms are excellent. Sandstone, well appointed, comfy etc. The Farm is in the process of changing from a permanent restaurant, to managing this in-house. They offered a basic breakfast which was fine. They have plans to upgrade this so as to meet further guest needs and I am sure they will accomplish this over time. The staff are excellent and I'm sure will make it happen. There are many restaurants in Clarens close by as alternatives. Cooking facilities in the room are limited.
