Close to the Lesotho border, in the North East corner of the Free State, huddles a stunning village held in the foothills of the Maluti Mountains and surrounded by the Red Mountain Range, affectionately known as the Jewel of the Free State.
Its true name? Clarens. Why would a village and valley that’s over 100 years old hold such sway over so many holiday makers, from everywhere in South Africa and from around the world?
And why would it earn the name Jewel of the Free State and the Art Mecca of South Africa?
The artists who have made this their home and those who travel long distances to soak up the indescribable beauty of this valley, mountains and village speak through their art far better than this writer, but there is magic here that simply has to be experienced to be believed.
It’s not just the indescribable beauty that invites visitors to this corner of South Africa. There are over 30 things to do for every age in Clarens, from hot air ballooning to soaking up and relaxing at a spa, and everything in-between.
