Clarens Drakensberg Accommodation

Clarens Drakensberg Accommodation

Nestled in the foothills of the Maluti Mountains you’ll find a magical village called Clarens, a village that still shows visible signs of both an ancient and not-so-ancient history, which has become a sought-after holiday destination in the Free State, South Africa.

The Maluti Mountains, sometimes called ‘Maloti’ Mountains, forms part of the majestic Drakensberg Mountain Range, the highest mountain range in Southern Africa.

This mountain range stretches from Southwest to Northeast for 1,000 kilometres, creating a dramatic backdrop against which Clarens shines like a gem.

In fact, Clarens is called The Jewel of the Free State in part because of the beauty of this awe-inspiring mountain range, with its changes in colour across the full spectrum of blues, pinks and moody purple. 

Juxtaposed against this is the Rooiberg Mountain Range, with its beautiful sandstone cliffs that jut across this landscape, shifting through shades of orange, red, gold, yellow and ochre as the sun moves across the sky.

If being close to places like Lesotho and the Golden Gate National Park fit your ideal for a holiday, then you’ll be looking for Clarens Drakensberg Accommodation!
