Clarens Mountain Sage Cottage

Host was easy to reach and very helpful. Home is equipped with everything needed. Wonderful property and stay.

Difficulty in getting the TV to work. Toilets in 100% working condition but makes a strange sound. But that was the least of our problems. Everything else made up for it.

Comfortable home perfect for a family or group of friends. Great that all bedrooms are en-suite. Appreciated the electric blankets & fireplace since we were there in winter. Perfect location close to town's main road.

Kitchen layout is a bit disjointed, but had everything we needed.

N/A

Power/Electricity Issues. No hot water to shower or electricity to make tea on the Sunday we left.

Although it was self-catering, everything for a breakfast was provided, Tea, Coffee, Milk, Yoghurt, Sugar, Honey, Orange juice, Rusks, different serials. Was very surprised. Location is good, nice quiet area with a Mountain view. Much more than we expected.

There's really nothing that we did not like, 2 nights was just to short.

The accommodation was very comfortable and had everything you need.Walking distance to the shops and restaurants.

Great location and excellent facilities with 4 bedrooms and en suite bathrooms

Could of had a heater for the room but at least there was an electric blanket

Layout Amenities

Nothing

Close to the town. Had everything we needed in terms of a self caterer. Good covered parking (we were on motorcycles)

Clear instructions were given, so going in was easy; we were there before, so procedure was known. The lodge is very comfortable and very well equipped. The covered outside seating with a view on Golden gate is great. Host is flexible to deal with special requests, in our case have the car parked on the premises till noon!

It is in the perfect location, quiet but not far from everything.

Please DO NOT put my name on the website!

Very comfortable little cottage. The host offers great attention to make her guests enjoy the stay. From the juice, milk, yoghurt in the fridge. To the little very tasty breadloaf for breakfast with jams. Even the ground coffee. Bedding is clean, soft and great quality, we had comfortable sleeps! Overall a great stay, pity we were too late to book it again for next year the same time.

The property was definitely a home away from home. It was very nice, very clean and welcoming. Fully equipped kitchen.

I loved everything!

Comfort and convenience to easily access the square

They left us rusks and have an incredible selection of teas and coffees!! I forgot to bring my decaf coffee and to my surprise they had it there for us already! This is our second time staying here, and it was just as special as it was the first time.

No complaints.

WE HAD SUCH A WONDERFUL TIME AT THE COTTAGE. THE PLACE WE STAYED AT WAS VERY COMFORTABLE AND BEAUTIFUL.

N/A

Beautiful and clean Every room has its own bathroom Walking distance to the main square

Location was good Facilities are amazing Host add ons were great!!!!

Location

Very cozy place with amenities and then some. Great attention to detail and easy-to-reach location in the center of town yet far away enough from the masses. Firewood provided (which is becoming rare in other places).

water pressure very low

Clean

Wrong side of town, people going to and from work walk past constantly and some ask for money no peace or quiet when sitting outside to enjoy the view. The opposite side of the town would be a better choice next time for a visit to Clarens.

We liked everything, except the bathroom.Very comfortable accommodation. Opening the fridge to milk, yogurt, juice etc to the coffee, buns etc was so awesome!

The bathroom is freezing. Possibly consider putting in an infra red heater for winter.

Clean, spacious, and tastefully furnished accommodation

The Wi-Fi signal is too weak in the bedroom, probably because the router is located in the other, main building. Since we came from Europe, we naturally had eSIMs, which allowed us to watch a movie in the bedroom using mobile data. MTN’s mobile network is very fast in Clarens, so from our perspective, everything was just fine.

Wifi signal was very poor

This property is exceptional , we are a group of 4 couples , so the 4 en-suite bedrooms are perfect. It’s very central , so you can park your car on arrival and just walk everywhere. Perfect 👌 The property is very clean , well stocked with cutlery , crockery , cookware of the highest quality. The most amazing towels in all the bathrooms ( soft and fluffy) wonderful fireplace and electric blankets for those cold nights. This is my second stay at this property and definitely not my last.

This is not really a complaint as such but we found the double beds small , esp since we were all used to queen and kings. Some of the husbands are big and tall.

Self-catering

Everything was to our taste and nothing was left out.

The toilet sit is a bit small and is not very comfortable

Well equipped and centrally located.

The place was absolutely beautiful, felt like home. All the small little trinkets were special. Very cozy .

Cottage in a fantastic location. Super close to the square without being in it. It simply nails the Clarens vibe. Great mountain view from the patio. Very good braai facilities. A kitchen well stocked with essentials was a lovely touch (so was the sherry!).

The fridge and ceiling fan were LOUD. Fine from the bedroom but a bit irritating in the lounge.

It was wonderful that every room had a bathroom Loved the interior decorating Loved the view from the stoep

No complaints

We had a great stay. Perfect location! The house layout is perfect for “togetherness” plus privacy with 4 on-suite bedrooms. Will definitely be back!

Good location, private, quiet. Great facilities to accommodate 8 adults with ease.

Nothing

Location, facilities, layout, clean, easy to get in and out. Even some snacks to get started.

Maybe internet not always stable, but not a big problem.

I loved the location and the way in which the cottage was conveniently stocked up and prepared. It felt like I was at my own holiday home. They also allowed us to do a late check out, which was really awesome and appreciated. Loved it!

Location and layout

The beds

Comfortable and peaceful. Well stocked. Great view and location.

Nothing.

We had an amazing, comfortable stay. Having bedrooms on the ground floor was very convenient. The house is also very convenient for the main town square which is only a few minutes easy walk away.

very spacious, had a dining table and lounge, superb bed.

Lovely venue in Clarens Close to shops and restaurants.

The beds and pillows were very uncomfortable. (we used 3 rooms in the facility)I would have thought for a fee of R3100 a night these would be on par.

The house was actually even nicer than the pictures. It was so clean and well kept, and the attention to detail with the towels and even kindling for the fire were welcome touches and conveniences. The hosts thought of everything.

Nothing. Loved it.

Very comfortable. Loved the fireplace and there was ample crockery and cutlery for a big group of 8. Lovely area upstairs to unwind and play board games and a desk for those workaholics.

Could not get the microwave to warm up things despite many valiant attempts.

All the little details like the sherry, bottled water, fruit juice in the fridge. Butter and fresh ess, a variety of cereals and jams and the homemade leaf of bread. There was ni need to go anywhere after checking in. Mire than enough to eat and enjoy while unpacking.

That we couldn't stay longer although we did manage to squeeze one mote night in.

Privacy, comfort, cleanliness, location

A beautiful, neat and clean cottage close to town so easy walking distance. Very comfortable bed. Delicious surprise of bread, yogurt, jams, butter, coffee and teas as well as granola and cereals. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will come back again.

Nothing. All great!

Great 4 bedrooms with en-suites, 2 lounges and outside terrace providing both space an privacy for an adult group spending time together. Walking distance to town square, restaurants and galleries. Thoughtful consideration of everything you would need during your stay. Well done Clarens Mountain Sage Holiday House!

Nothing

Food that was provided for breakfast Patio and view Location - easy walk to both town and hiking trails

Fridge was noisy, we tried to make it level with the floor but the noise continued!!!

Location was perfect Loved the bedrooms with en suite as it gave us time to be together and apart

Nice place with good views, a great terrace and plenty of space. Very comfortable and close to everything in the centre of town. Secure private parking. She was quick to respond and deal with a technical issue.

Perfect space and comfortable facilities for a couple, with cozy lounge area and fireplace. Great location just a short walk from the main square with lovely views towards the mountains. Appreciated the snacks/breakfast supplies provided. Compact but well-equipped kitchen area.

Not much to say. If nitpicking, the shower is quite close to toilet area so can be a little slippery when wet. Water supply can apparently be an issue for Clarens but we had no issues during our stay.

The unit felt like home. Had all the amenities that one could ask for. Unit was spacious and made for a relaxing stay.

Nothing. It was perfect.

Clean, good beds, utensils etc

Chairs on stoep uncomfortable. Cannot sit and relax and enjoy the view.

The views of the mountains from the cottage are stunning.. the location of the cottage is perfect to be able to walk to the town centre. The addition of some condiments, juice and water, tea and coffee supplies are super. Thanks for that.

Honestly there wasn't anything to fault. The fridge needs something done to it to balance it properly, the compressor makes a racket, something rattles alot but with some minor adjustments to the feet it sorts it out. I see we weren't the only ones to try balance it. Some serviettes and the door stopper were under to try ease the rattle. Think it only happens when the fridge is full. But it didn't cause any discomfort. I love the cottage. Perfect for my wife and myself.

Clean and comfortable.

The towels felt great but absorbed moisture poorly, most probably washed with with stay soft. WIFI did not work. With the heatwave that the country experience, the little fan in the bedroom was not adequate to cool down

Clarens Mountain Sage Cottage in Clarens offered a superb stay with thoughtful touches that made it truly special. We loved the spacious and meticulously tidy cottage and the charming garden. Its ideal location and close proximity to the village allowed for easy exploration of Clarens on foot. The coffee and tea station boasted a variety of coffees and teas, accompanied by rusks and cereal. The pleasant surprise of finding a well-stocked fridge, including butter, milk, bottled water, jams, fruit juice and yogurt, enhanced our experience.

We could not find anything not to our liking.

Everything was amazing, Santi took extra care in providing for coffee, yoghurt, bread etc which was kind.

Nothing as such

Lovely spacious home, very comfortable. Within walking distance to all the shops and restaurants. We have stayed in the one bedroom cottage on a previous visit, which is great for a couple. The house is ideal for family and friends.

The work space in the kitchen is limited, if you are making dinner at home. Otherwise, a really great house to share with friends.

Great little cottage was everything that we had hoped for. Clean, safe, neat and tidy and a really good location close to the square. Great views also. And all the little extras made our stay so much fun and relaxing.

The bed was really uncomfortable for a big person such as myself. Really didn't sleep well. . A new, firmer bed should be considered.

The beautiful, peaceful and quiet neighbourhood was just what we needed. The house is clean, well maintained and tastefully furnished. All the amenities we needed were available, and we particularly liked the braai on the stoep, with a beautiful view of the mountains. The host was very helpful and understanding when we had a last minute 'curveball'.

Yhere was not anything we can complain about.

We loved the coziness of the place, the bed was very comfortable and everything was exceptionally clean.

We weren’t the biggest fan of the shower, we know it’s for wheelchair accessibility but it made the whole room wet.

All good & great

Wonderful cottage, very close to town center and with a fantastic view on the mountains. We could have spent the entire day on the porch. Very easy communication and simple access to the cottage, nice to have private secure parking. Lots of thoughtful little gifts that make guests feel very welcome; everything one could wish for breakfast was there. If we come back to Clarens (we enjoyed the hikes in the area), we'll definitely book the cottage again; meanwhile, we'll recommend it warmly to our friends

Everything was perfect or even better

Location was perfect, breakfast was self catering with cereal, bread etc and yoghurt supplied. Was great.

The bed creaked and kept us awake. Was the only negative in a great stay.

Key is in a box with a code. Very Easy
