Nestled at the foot of the majestic Maluti Mountains, Clarens is one of South Africa’s most beloved little towns, often called the “Jewel of the Free State.” With its crisp mountain air, wide open skies, and stunning natural scenery, Clarens offers the perfect blend of relaxation, inspiration, and adventure.
Just a short walk from Honeysuckle, the village square is the heart of Clarens, lined with art galleries, cafés, restaurants, and quirky shops. Whether you’re browsing local crafts, sipping coffee under the trees, or enjoying a farm-to-table meal, you’ll feel the creative, welcoming spirit that makes this town so special.
Clarens is also a gateway to the outdoors from hiking trails and horse riding to mountain biking and fly fishing. Nature lovers can explore the nearby Golden Gate Highlands National Park, while those seeking a slower pace can simply watch the sun set behind sandstone cliffs with a glass of local wine in hand.
Whether you’re here for a romantic escape, a family adventure, or a quiet weekend of rest and beauty, Clarens will capture your heart, just as it has our.
