The host is a passionate and welcoming individual who fell in love with the picturesque town of Clarens many years ago. Their initial encounter with the town occurred during a cycling event, where they were captivated by the natural beauty and charm of Clarens. This experience inspired a deep connection to the area, ultimately leading them to invest in the town. The house is owned by Paula and Jolandi, both of whom are professionals based in Johannesburg. Their shared love for traveling and discovering beautiful places has been a significant source of inspiration for them. This passion has driven them to create a welcoming and enchanting space in Clarens, allowing guests to return and experience the same joy and comfort they have found in their own travels. Each year, Jolandi and Paula embark on making further enhancements and improvements to the house, ensuring that it continues to evolve and exceed the expectations of their guests. Another source of attraction for the hosts is their active participation in the various cycling and running events that take place throughout the year in Clarens. Their personal involvement in these events not only reflects their passion for an active lifestyle but also allows them to intimately understand the needs and preferences of guests who visit the area for similar activities.
The small town of Clarens lies nestled in the breathtaking sandstone Maluti Mountains, in the Free State of South Africa. Affectionately known as the Jewel of the Free State, Clarens has breathtaking views, a wonderful climate, and rich natural history. The homes and businesses are unique, charming structures built from native sandstone. But what really sets Clarens apart is its thriving art and restaurant scene. Clarens offers a diverse range of attractions that make it a compelling destination of visit. The Golden Gate Highlands National Park is an incredible natural wonder that’s just a 20-minute drive from Clarens. It's the only national park in the Free State, there are so many reasons to love it. One is the multi-hued sandstone cliffs that tower over the landscape. The colours are mesmerising, and range from stunning golds and oranges to deep reds and browns. The renowned Clarens Brewery and the charming Baris Monger to the vibrant art scene at Blou Donki Gallery and the awe-inspiring Titanic Rock, there are numerous experiences to enjoy. Additionally, the Clarens Golf Course, picturesque hiking trails, and the opportunity to participate in the Park Run all contribute to the town’s appeal, providing something for everyone.
