"Amazing property - beautiful, modern, comfortable and peaceful. Excellent WIFi, very secure lock-up and go. Stunning quiet neighbourhood, great walking trails nearby and the most incredible views - without a doubt the best views in Clarens! The host was absolutely amazing, helpful, informative and punctual. Thank you for an amazing stay!"

"A top class place with stunning views overlooking the Red mountains. It was a pleasure to deal with Jacquie. As we love swimming, she recommended a walk to the nearby dam. We had a glorious early morning swim & walk with our dog. She also suggested Liewe Koffie - a warm, welcoming café for delicious orange cake & coffee. Thank you, Jacquie. We hope to return sooner than later. For those traveling with furry children, put this town on your list. Everyone is chilled & loves dogs."

"Beautiful views, nice to be away from the noise of the main town, worth the gravel road drive. Did a short walk over the hill to the dam, so pretty and easy from the house. The fire and electric blankets saved us on a freezing night in July. We loved Jacquie’s place and she was a friendly, helpful super-star of a host. The beds were comfy, the linen good quality and clean and the showers were fabulous."

"Highly recommended! This hidden gem in Clarens exceeded my expectations.Upon arrival, Jacquie personally greeted us, handed over the keys, and provided valuable information that made our stay in Clarens even better. The accommodation itself was perfect. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The inverter was a lifesaver, especially with the possibility of load shedding (which we luckily avoided during our visit). Evenings were spent cozying up by the fireplace, gazing at the magnificent starry sky. The location was ideal. For photographers and videographers, Red Mountain Retreat offers stunning scenery. I took my drone out for some breathtaking aerial footage of the Clarens landscape. The natural light streaming into the rooms in the daytime was perfect, and the en-suite bathrooms were a big plus. If you're an outdoors enthusiast, there are numerous hiking and running trails right on your doorstep. Overall, my stay at Red Mountain Retreat was fantastic. I will definitely be booking again for a much longer stay next time I'm in Clarens. I highly recommend this property!"

"I visit Clarens a few times annually, the view of the Mountains & a bit of Lesotho mountains is just breathtaking. Well thought out place - a true home away from home feel."
Lebakeng January 2024
"We absolutely loved this house. Modern and beautiful.
The view alone is worth staying here, and the big windows and design of the house ensure that you can experience the views wherever you are in the house.
Was amazing! Jacquie was very helpful and kind and her recommendation of the Italian restaurant (Bucco di Lupo) was spot on!
Well worth a visit too!"

"'n Moderne 2-slaapkamer-eenheid met pragtige uitsig. Die binnehuise kaggel het die leefarea lekker warm gemaak.
Beddens het elektriese komberse wat wintersaande snoesig maak. Die kombuis is ingerig met duursame items en stylvol.
Die stoep buite is ideaal vir kuier en koffie drink met 'n pragtige uitsig.
Alles wat mens nodig het vir 'n rustige wegbreek. Sal definitief weer bespreek."
