The town has a number of interesting shops for homeware, clothing and home-produced preserves and food stuffs. There is a good range of restaurants and we enjoyed our meals at Clementine's, Gosto and the Clarens Brewery. Most places are to be found around the central grassy square and they are very easy to access..

Clarens has its own special charm and uniqueness. People are friendly and one feels safe there. Its in beautiful surroundings and the shops around the square are very cool to walk around and just chill.

Clarens is over commercialised.
Clarens is over commercialised. It mostly consists of numerous shops consisting of items you can find in many other places. The Emporium was a favourite. Excellent owner with a lot of details on the figuribes sold there. I thoroughly enjoyed buying my Burmese figure there. The art galleries are a must. Personally Clarens for me is more of a stop to go hiking and go to Golden Gate. It is too busy, bad roads - and I am used to potholes. The Protea hotel in the middle of town was a let down. Such a big hotel in nature was unnecessary. If you want to walk and just look at shops the town will work for you. Personally for me this is a good area to stop and go hiking and take a break from the city but other than that not somewhere I will visit frequently.

The hiking trails around Clarens are very well worth while doing and are not too strenuous, provided that you keep to the ones lower down the mountainside.
The town square is where it all happens and is a lovely buzz. Food outlets are good and plentiful.

The Clarens Conservancy is well looked after.
The Clarens Conservancy is well looked after. We paid R40 for a map and R30 each for a 7-day ticket and the money is well used to maintain a wonderful network of walks along the river and the side of the mountains. For us this was the highlight, although we also enjoyed visiting the shops on the central common. Our only disappointment was that the drought meant that the waterfalls were dry!
Based on our culinary experience, at the to-rated restaurant, I suggest you stick to the traditional "country" favourites and resist the tempation to try the more "gourmet" dishes
Clarens is a great place for combining activity with relaxation and it still suprises me how close it is to Joburg (less than 3,5 hours) on decent roads and that having been in South Africa for almost 30 years, this was our first visit. Btw we did not even get to the Golden Gate National Park this time but will do that at our next visit.
Wonderful experience! The food was terrific and each staff member onsite was helpful, friendly, and welcoming.
Phenomenal service!
The location was perfectly situated in Clarens square, making it simple to park the car at the hotel and walk around to different shops and sights.
The poolside was relaxing and worth those chilled days when you didn't want to explore, but rather relax at the hotel.
It was luxurious, and peaceful and made it hard to leave.
GPS coordinates only take you to the Clarens golf estate gate when you should actually drive another 14 km on the R 712 if not mistaken to see the farm board on your right hand side coming from Clarens towards Golden gate. Within 2 hours off reaching this destination I KNEW that I KNEW I am on HOLIDAY. I did not want to leave the lodge, all was great for body, mind and soul and spirit. Thank you for sharing this fully equipped property with your guest.
This place is so amazing. From the location (right outside Clarens but far enough to have wide open spaces) to the little touches that make your stay so special. I wish I could have stayed longer. Johan was there to meet us and was so friendly. Unfortunately, we didn't get to walk down to the river, will definitely do that if (when) we come stay again. Chocolates and welcome drinks, comfy beds, so lovely and quiet, and the garden is so beautiful.
The host, Lindsey, is absolutely amazing!
The bed was comfy and came with electric blankets (and water bottles) for the cold winter nights in Clarens:)
Rechargeable LED lanterns (for when Eskom disappoints)
The location was perfect - just a short distance from the town centre
Family friendly place (large boma area and braai facilities), and pet friendly
WiFi was great
The resort has fantastic facilities with entertainment for young and old. Perfectly situated close to Clarens and the Golden Gate. The scenery is spectacular and the staff do a great job at keeping the facilities in perfect condition. The facility manager (Tommy) was of great assistance during our stay. We will definitely be back and would recommend Kiara lodge to anyone.
The venue is a walking distance to shops and restaurants. The host Mercia welcomed us like she had met us before and we felt at home. The unit was sanitized and well prepared _everything clean and smart👌. The breakfast was fantastic! 👏🏾. This is the best place to stay in Clarens. Will surely return - hopefully soon 😋
Excellent, safe location. Secure parking. Il Castello is a genuinely unusual hotel: a Tuscan castle sitting in the middle of the South African mountains. The room was spacious with two balconies. The bed was very comfortable. Attentive staff. Great food.
The owner was very lovely and welcoming
The bedding was very clean and very comfy and the owner made an effort to provide with electric blanket. We enjoyed every moment during winter season. I definitely recommend this beautiful romantic establishment
Sumptous breakfast, Excellent host. Spacious room. Well geared for a Free State winter with underfloor heating, electric blanket and a heated towel rail. The Guest house is also close to the attractions of Clarens. (Walking distnce in most cases)
Situated very close to the main square in Clarens, yet so peaceful,relaxing and quiet.The Butterfly Villa was very spacious and comfortable .Everything you need for self catering was provided.Will definately return.
Outstanding self catering accommodation. Excellently equipped with the finest detail. Beautiful garden and mountain views. Clarens on Collett invites you to take time off and relax. Just be in the moment.
The Hotel is new. It is exceptional with its design, art and decoration. Relaxed atmosphere. Very helpful staff. Not in the busy center of Clarens, but in walking distance. Close access to hiking trails.
The property is beautifully situated in the Clarens Golf Estate.
Diaan, the host, very hospitable and everyone is so welcoming.
