Property information

The Clarens Country House is nestled in a wooded corner of the secure Clarens Golf and Estate, where it started out as a sheepshed on the original farm. This century-old stone sheepshed, with wrap-around mountain views, has been completely remodeled as a luxury bed & breakfast and/or self-catering guest house. With half-metre thick sandstone walls, The Clarens Country House is a cool retreat in summer and a cosy refuge from Clarens’s invigorating winters.

Neighbourhood information

Clarens - also known as the jewel of the Free State - offers the best of country cuisine, art, adventure, shopping, pubs, brewery festivals, conferencing and wedding venues, golf, dinosaur walks, horse riding, white water rafting, hiking and biking, fishing and relaxation in central South Africa. All this in a gloriously scenic setting, in close proximity to the Golden Gate Highlands National Park.
