Welcome to Meerkat Manor on Main! Jon and I would love to introduce ourselves as the new owners of Meerkat Manor on Main, formerly known as Siesta on Main. Jon and I have recently relocated from the British Virgin Islands to the beautiful and picturesque village of Clarens, in the Free State. We are so excited and happy to be part of the Clarens community and have been welcomed with open arms. In October 2025, we refurbished our suites and put our stamp on the property relaunching it as Meerkat Manor on Main. Aside from being only 200 meters away from the village square, Meerkat Manor on Main offers quality accommodation at affordable rates making it the perfect weekend getaway. We look forward to welcoming guests to Clarens from far and wide!
Meerkat manor is a stones throw away from all the activities, bars, restaurants and quirky shops in Clarens but far enough away to enjoy the peace and tranquility of Clarens and its surroundings.
