Clarens is a popular weekend getaway for locals from Johannesburg, Bloemfontein and Durban, being only about a 4 to 4.5-hour drive from all these centers. It’s also a choice holiday destination for international visitors looking for something different and a little off the beaten track.
This means that over the years, Clarens guest house accommodation has grown exponentially, with a proliferation of hotels, self catering accommodation and luxury accommodation on surrounding farms.
Despite this, Clarens is still a haven of peace and tranquility, that is as long as you’re not on the main road on a Saturday morning! The town itself hasn’t grown, and it’s 100-year-old history is still evident in much of the architecture, so it hasn’t become a thumping, pumping, hideously noisy place like many other popular holiday destinations.
The sheer beauty that surrounds you on any of the many hiking trails will lead you to unforgettable vistas, with sandstone changing colour as the sun shifts, and the Maluti Mountains becoming moodier in colour at the same time.
If you love activities like horse-riding, trout fishing, fly fishing, golf, white water rafting, pony trekking in the Maluti Mountains or a game drive through the Golden Gate National Park, you’ll be in heaven in Clarens; and that’s just naming a few of the things to do.
If an early morning flight across the valley in a hot air balloon appeals to you, say the word and it’s yours to experience. Shopping in Clarens is awesome and so is eating, with so many eateries to choose from that you’ll have a hard time deciding where to start, without inside information of course!
Wandering down Art Avenue is an experience no art lover can miss. It’s the perfect expression of why Clarens is called the Art Mecca of South Africa, and why so many artists have made this magnificent valley their home.
