If there’s one corner of the Eastern Free State that encompasses the very essence of romance on one hand, and on the other the perfect holiday getaway for the whole family, it’s Clarens.

Clarens Eddies B&B and Self Catering accommodation in Clarens has seen many a family through awesome holidays in sheer comfort, guiding old and young to all the best in activities, gift shops, art galleries and more, making sure that everyone has something to remember on the trip home.

The team at Clarens Eddies is thoroughly committed to your comfort, welcoming you as only a team that has won Certificates of Excellence from top international and local booking sites could.

This is just one of the reasons that guests become regulars, especially those that are able to make it back to Clarens from nearby Johannesburg, Bloemfontein and Durban weekend after weekend.

As a weekend getaway, it’s hard to beat what Clarens has to offer. The sheer beauty of this valley and 100 year old village is enough to hold the attention. There’s so much to take in during the space of a weekend, but, with the right inside information, which is freely available from the staff at Clarens Eddies, you’ll be able to make the most of your visit.

If you’re more interested in taking a quiet walk from Clarens Eddies into the village than in the physical exertion of extreme activities, then you’ll be utterly charmed by a stroll through the mixture of history and architecture around every corner in Clarens Village Square.

Talking about strolls, you’ll also find that there are a plethora of hiking trails that are in the main just right for a comfortable walk, without having to push yourself too hard.

The prize at the end of these trails is the natural glory reflected in the open vistas that bring a riot of colours out in every way, from the Maluti Mountains in the distance, to the Sandstone Mountains for which Clarens is famous for.

For those with energy to spare, horse riding, cycling and white water rafting await, along with many other activities designed to tire the fittest in the family!

There’s a beautiful golf course in Clarens and some of the best waters for trout and fly fishing, if that’s what takes your fancy! If you’d like to add a little wildlife to your Clarens adventure, the Golden Gate National Park is just around the corner from Clarens Eddies.

Horse trails, 4×4 trails and MTB trails show off some of the most exhilarating sights you’ll ever see, which is exactly why Clarens is aptly nicknamed The Jewel of the Free State!

This post cannot, in any way, describe the true magic that a family holiday in Clarens will bring. The only way to enjoy the full scope of the adventures that lie ahead for you and your family, is to make your booking today with the friendly team at Clarens Eddies.

You may well come for a weekend, but you’ll be back for a week…or more.
