Great hostess. Beautiful and peaceful garden.

The room was beautiful, stylish, and exceptionally comfortable. Everything was thoughtfully arranged and perfectly maintained, with attention to every little detail. The decor was elegant, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the room had everything we could possibly need. We loved our 5 km walk on the farm! We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Highly recommended!

What a lovely place. So quiet and peaceful. Having a restaurant onsite was also just the cherry on the cake. The staff were also so friendly and the owners? Extremely accommodating and friendly. Great stay.

The property’s location. It is very peaceful

One of the stuff members at the restaurant was very rude when we wanted to order food to come to our room.

Everything

The bed mattress is hard 😴 put the soft one

The room was nicely done

The ceiling look was not great

Marius and his family have built a beautiful, and welcoming guest house. We will definitely return. The service and little gestures were highly appreciated - like the evening sherry and crisps. The cleaning services were fantastic; it felt like checking into a new room each afternoon, and included a refill of nougat and rusks. The rooms are clean, and styled beautifully with very comfortable beds! And the cherry on top is enjoying room service from Claren’s highest rated restaurant right next door - their milktart jaffel is a MUST! Thank you for the beautiful stay, we can’t wait to return.

The bnb is not too far from Clarens, great location and great hospitality, on Saturday we got lovely mini pies in our room.

Nothing absolutely perfect, pictures don’t do enough justice.

Food and location

Modern features and decor, absolutely amazing gardens and beautiful views

Absolutely nothing

We loved the farm. The beautiful gardens. The room is so gorgeous and comfortable. We had sug an enjoyable stay. The heated floor around the bed makes the room warm.

The location was exceptional, and the approach to the property was truly breathtaking. Driving along the tree-lined avenue, with majestic pine trees framing the path, created a picturesque and memorable first impression. The gardens are impeccably maintained, adding to the property's sense of tranquility and natural beauty. Everything was spotless, neat, and thoughtfully cared for, creating an atmosphere that felt like a private paradise. The entire experience was absolutely beautiful, and it is a place I would happily return to time and time again. A particularly memorable touch was the evening offering of aged brown cherry, personally delivered—a thoughtful and unexpectedly elegant gesture that added warmth, character, and a sense of refined hospitality to each stay.

Just a heads up - there is no bottle opener in the kitchen.

Beautiful area to stay, accommodation was lovey and well thought out. Breakfast was amazing!!!!!!

Upmarket and very clean

Clarens is cold 😂

The most relaxing sound when you sit outside and just listen to the sound of nature

The accommodation was comfortable and nice, but even though we had told them in advance that we had to leave at 6 AM (even though we didn't receive breakfast), the gate was locked, so they only opened the door very slowly after we ran around trying to find where they were and shouted. Thanks to you, we were 10 minutes late for an important appointment.

Perfect !

Nothing

Your room decor was absolutely superb. The gardens and the views were magnificent. The meals in the Cafe were of the highest quality.

Our check-in was the only poor aspects as we were not briefed re the remote to open the gate at night, nor how the smart TV worked.

Andes is the full package! Beautiful location and everything and anything one needed was provided.

Die Unterkunft liegt sehr ruhig gelegen ein paar Kilometer von Clarence. Es ist ein gepflegtes Anwesen. Die Zimmer sind wirklich neuwertig und man hat alles was man braucht. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der einzigartig wunderbar gepflegte angelegte Garten. Auch das Café was dazu gehört ist positiv zu erwähnen. Das Frühstück war wirklich sehr lecker und auch das Mittagessen hat uns gut geschmeckt. Die Hunde des Eigentümers haben uns immer einen Besuch abgestattet was uns sehr erfreut hat

The owner of the property are perfect hosts. We had a warm welcome and received an upgrade and a vey nice wlcome drink because our room was not ready. We highly recommand to stay there.

Beautiful

Everything

This is a beautiful and well appointed guest house in a stunning setting. The room was spacious and comfortable.

Love the modern rooms. The room has everything you need. The setting is so beautiful, the garden is exquisite. Love the farm animals. A perfect spot to unwind will definitely be back

The water pressure in the shower is low. More vegetarian options at the cafe please

Immaculate. Well laid out, comfortable rooms an beautiful gardens. First class restaurant

Een van die mooiste gastehuise wat ons nog by gebly het. Alles is so mooi en perfek uitgelê. Lekkerste kos by die Andes Cafe op dieselfde perseel. Sal definitief weer daar bly.

Dommage que le restaurant soit fermé le soir

Beautiful modern finishes. Very comfortable bedding. Complimentary water, tea and coffee and nougats daily. Short drive into Clarens.

For me there are three big issues with this property. The first is privacy. Right next to the accommodation is a restaurant which was thankfully closed on the Monday and Tuesday. However on the Sunday we experienced what it is like staying here while the restaurant is open and busy. There is no real divide between the lawn where the restaurant tables are and the front of the accommodation. A bit of a hedge or even a sign asking restaurant guests not to move past a certain point would make a big difference. Subsequently while sitting in bed in my pjs, with the curtains and patio door open a group of 5 adults, coffees in hand, stood in a semi circle in front of our accommodation looking straight into our room. Only after getting up, closing our door and curtains did they finally move on. A few minutes later two teen girls were in-front of our accommodation taking photos. It spoiled the stay for me. You already do not have a big room and to then feel that you cannot open your curtains was a problem for me. The second issue was that the accommodation description did not fit what we got. The description stated that there is a barbecue. We certainly didn’t have one, the houses next to us either, and I couldn’t see any other area where braai facilities were available. We also didn’t get a complimentary bottle of wine as the description states. We did however get teabags, coffee and waters. The third and most frustrating issue for me was the lack of communication. They communicated well until we were at the property. We arrived on the Sunday, and still received communication from them on the Sunday. I sent them a Whatsapp on the same day of arriving to clarify if the braai facility is somewhere else, sent them a screen shot of their room description on the Monday, I got blue ticked but unfortunately until now (a week later) we have still received no reply.

Secure, quiet, spotless, beautifully manicured.

Nothing

Beautiful location and gardens, great food. Beautiful decor.

The guest rooms are very close together and unfortunately, we had noisy neighbours

The most beautiful, succulent & well maintained property. Our room was exceptionally and tastefully furnished, with a XL King size bed, spacious & modern bathroom, well equipped kitchen and private patio. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Property offers walking trails, which is a wonderful way to see and experience the beautiful farm. Highly recommended. We were unable to experience the Café as we were there over Christmas, but considering the finishings and facility, we can only imagine that the best is on offer. We will simply have to return to experience it.

The rooms are equipped for self-catering, however, there are no braai (bbq) or other cooking facilities, other than a microwave

Beautiful garden,friendly people, best breakfast, lovely room

Everything about this property was great, the rooms were beautifully and clean. The peace and quiet was excellent. The lawns were beautifully manicured and just provided serenity.

Outstanding breakfast! Delicious! Unique menu. Must return to taste some of the other options.

Nothing.

All I can say is Wow! I’m speechless. From the moment we arrived till we left, was beyond expectation Beautiful clean accommodation, super friendly and helpful staff going out their way to accommodate you. Food at the cafe were exceptional. We were treated and spoiled with wine on arrival, freshly baked sausage rolls the last day, a carwash.. wow! This is a 10 star place!! Not to mention the spectacular surroundings Just 6 km outside Clarens Thank you Philna and staff

Absolutely everything was 10/10! This was such a spoil!

There was no plug for the heater There was No Iron

The hosts are such humble and helpful people. We had a bit of a travel delay due to car issues, and Mr Naude and his daughter kept in contact with us over our 14 hour travel, stayed up and waited for us to arrive safely at the guesthouse. The cottage was absolutely comfortable and the cafe serves lovely, fresh food which is delicious and homely.

Stylish, beautiful rooms and gardens. Friendly people and friendly dogs

We had a very welcoming stay at Andes Guesthouse. The place was clean, the staff friendly and the owners are very kind people. We enjoyed breakfast at Andes Café, which was delicious. What a beautiful guesthouse in a gorgeous setting. The place is breathtaking. We hope to visit again soon!

Beautiful farm that is near to Clarens. The accommodation was 5 stars. Comfortable beds, stunning decor, cosy at night, peaceful surroundings, clean rooms, modern bathroom and overall just immaculate. Host was very friendly and was ready for us on arrival. We were offered drinks and made to feel at home. There is a lot more I could speak about this property but I'd be here all day. Highly recommended and I will definitely return soon with the family.

Very comfortable and thought of everything Peaceful and beautiful grounds and delicious food at the restaurant

Liked everything

Attention to detail top class

Lovely warm and cosy room on a frosty winter's night. Philna was such a welcoming and friendly host. Underfloor heating, electric blankets and a nice bottle of red wine to ensure we didn't even feel the cold.

What a wonderful experience. From the time when you arrive, everything is exceptional. Friendly staff that will go out of their way to accommodate you. Very peaceful and quiet. You can really just relax and enjoy the views. The room is exceptional with everything you need. The food from the restaurant is excellent. I would really recommend this property to anyone that want to take a break and relax.

I had an incredible stay at Andes Clarens Guesthouse, where every detail was meticulously attended to. The rooms feature a unique vintage-modern aesthetic and are fully equipped with everything one might need for a self-catering experience. This guesthouse truly stands out and can easily rival some of South Africa's most renowned hotel chains. The customer service was exceptional, particularly the manager, Brenda, who was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Additionally, the café's food was outstanding—definitely the best I had in Clarens! Overall, I rate my experience a solid 11 out of 10, and I will absolutely be returning in the future.

There was absolutely nothing to dislike about the place. It was an entirely pleasurable stay, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it.

Everything was perfect. From the beautifully designed rooms to the surroundings. 5km to Clarence and the restaurant on the property is top class.

Nothing was negative

Excellent location, well laid out property with beautiful landscaping outside your room.

Not all the rooms have air-conditioning, if booking a room and they indicate the room has aircon, ask for confirmation in writing before paying. Also check to see if breakfast is available on public holidays, they were closed on Easter sunday. Otherwise a decent stay. Be advised the beds are comfy enough but quite a squeeze as its only a double bed, great for snuggling but not much elbow room.

The place is beautiful both inside and outside. I was travelling with my daughter and was pleasantly surprised to find that there’s a play area for kids. My sister went for a walk and fell into mud, she then left her hiking boots on the porch and we were again pleasantly surprised to find that the housekeeper had washed the boots clean, a service that was not expected at all. The attention to detail is totally unmatched, snacks are refilled everyday. Towels are changed daily…. Truly exceptional value for money. I’d be lying if I were to say there’s anything we were not happy with. & there’s a restaurant on the property which was an added bonus

Breakfast was well served and delicious.

Bed frame creaked a little too much.

Really nice farm guest house, everything is new. The taste for the bedrooms, from the quality of the beds to the furniture and adornments is spectacular. The different breakfast options are really tasty, and the staff is very friendly.

Nothing not to like

Lovely setting, a free bottle of wine on our first stay (not the second night). Beautiful garden scenery and seating area with cafe next door.

Light came in early through the large window on the upper roof area, concrete floors in the bathroom and cold under foot.

The rooms were great! We loved the staff and how they accommodated an excellent breakfast evening though there was a concurrent wedding on the venue.

Just stunning and lovely attention to detail

Pristine grounds, 5 star amenities with the kitchenette being a great touch. The host was very warm and welcoming. She went out of her way our needs were taken care of. We felt extremely special and will definitely return!

Unfortunately due to the heavy rains there was a few roof leaks with one directly onto our bed. This was the only blemish for an otherwise outstanding place. The host did promise to get the leaks repaired.

Hosts made extra effort to confirm and accommodate our check-in time. A very pleasant stay

Everything about this place is spectacular, from the hosts who are personally involved in looking after the guests to the cleanliness of the rooms, the gardens are spectacular and the restaurant on site is spectacular!!

Nothing

The breakfast was delicious. The restaurant is beautiful. Service was good. The location is perfect, just a few minutes out of town on a lovely farm.

Nothing to dislike.

The ambience is perfect. A modern house that looks vintage from the outside. A very spacious place. A dream

Absolutely nothing

What a beautiful place to stay at. We loved our stay and the room was beautiful. Staff are incredible and nothing was too much for our hosts. They assisted us and made our stay wonderful. It truelly is a gem in Clarens not to be missed.

No complaints at all

Beautiful country setting in close proximity to Clarens, with abundant birdlife, lush gardens and perfectly manicured lawns Quiet, peaceful and secure. The bedroom was large, very clean and comfortable, with a walk-in shower and full en suite bathroom with a separate loo. Bedding and linen were crisp and clean. The patio overlooking the garden was private and peaceful. Tastefully modern with all the facilities which you may need. We have found a new favourite place [for us] in Clarens and will certainly return. Highly recommended!

Our stay was far too short!!

The property is excellently unkept and it is obvious just how much effort is put into your stay. Our room was more than comfortable with a veranda that had the most stunning views of the sunset. We had breakfast at the cafe and it was absolutely delicious! Just an absolutely lovely spot to stay!

An absolute gem in Clarens. Beautiful location, modern but tasteful interior, owners and personel extremely helpful and communicative. Food and atmosfere in de Andes Café outstanding. The game drive was superb. Highly recommend this place.

Everything was perfect.
