Holidays are meant to be memorable, filled with descriptions and stories to share with others at home just to make the experience come to life again with the retelling, and Clarens is just the ticket as to take home stories filled with vivid colour and fun!
Right on the doorway to a quaint village 100 years old, and in one of the most beautiful valleys in this Eastern corner of the Free State, aptly named ‘The Jewel of the Free State’, you will find the most comfortable and affordable accommodation in Clarens, at Clarens Eddies Self Catering!
Clarens Eddies is proud to have played host to thousands of guests that have come from all corners of the world and South Africa to enjoy an exquisite backdrop to a myriad of outdoor activities and adventures.
The comfort that awaits you at the end of a busy day spent exploring all that is Clarens, from the village to the surrounding areas, will form an important part of your memory of a great holiday, and the team at Clarens Eddies takes hospitality up a notch above the rest to make sure that theirs is the corner of the world you visit again!
In any event, one visit to Clarens is rarely enough! There is just too much to see and do during the span of a few days, or, if you are lucky, a few weeks, and it is virtually impossible to get to it all in one visit!
Clarens is definitely a world apart, caught between the past and the present, with architecture that dates back a hundred years and echo’s the quality and colours of beautiful sandstone mountains forming a backdrop to this village, with the tech goodies that go with our century, such as satellite TV and WiFi, bringing the present into the mix.
By the same token, Clarens Eddies has made sure that every modern convenience is on hand for guests, which includes electric blankets and heaters for chillier winter evenings and all the gadgets you would expect of a kitchen in the 21st century!
Clarens Eddies Self-catering and B&B makes its home in Clarens Village on the Main Street, which means that all the restaurants, art galleries, craft markets and curio shops are just a short walk away, and also just a hop skip and jump to lovely walks, mountain bike trails and the sparkling dam resting in the arms of the mountains surrounding it.
It is just a 3 hour drive from Johannesburg and Bloemfontein to get to Clarens, and a well-worthwhile 4 hours from Durban, making Clarens one of the most central, and magical holiday destinations in South Africa! This close to the rich landscape of the northern corner of Lesotho makes it obvious that Clarens echoes much of the same beauty and lushness as its close neighbour, but it needs to be seen to be believed!
To follow in the footsteps of dinosaurs, drink in art, food and wine, dive into white water rafting or take a game drive to the Golden Gate Nature reserve needs only one thing to complete the picture of a perfect holiday; great accommodation!
Let the team at Clarens Eddies introduce you to the true meaning of hospitality and fantastic accommodation in Clarens; make your booking and take home memorable stories that can be passed from generation to generation and around the world!
