Charlotte's Place with inverter and Jojo tank

WilhelmRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We were a group of six and we really loved out stay at Vanessa’s place. Everything is clean. We loved the fireplace, warm duvets, underfloor heating, Nespresso machine, great view of the mountain, peaceful surroundings, being close to the conservancy for our morning hike, close to shops and restaurants but not so close that other people park in front of your house. Great restaurant recommendations. We ate at: Clarens Brewery Clementine’s O’s Coffee The Posthouse Restaurant Platform …and everyone agreed that no one had a dud meal. We bought permits for the conservancy and hiked the Spruit Walk and the Mountain Trail one morning. Stunning views. Do it! I can highly recommend Charlotte’s. Vanessa and Mike are great hosts too.

My fiancé and I had a wonderful weekend getaway in Clarens at this Airbnb! The location was perfect—easy to find, and street parking worked out fine for us. The place itself was cozy, well-decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We absolutely loved exploring Clarens—hiking, quad biking, visiting art galleries, and checking out local cafés were highlights of our trip! With just a little extra attention to linen cleanliness, this spot would be flawless. We’d still happily return!
