Type: Accommodation – Self Catering

Category: Pet Friendly

Motivation for award: We pride ourselves in offering the ultimate experience in the town of Clarens. With our self catering home, we not only cater for our guests, but also for their families, friends and fur babies. Our home was opened up in November 2019, and it was a labour of love and dedication, built around accommodating our guests, as we would like to be accommodated. Nothing is too much effort for us when it comes to our guests. Our ratings on booking sites reflect this, as well as our large following on Facebook and Instagram. We have been featured by Lekkeslaap on Instagram, and rated by Afristay & Booking.com. We are passionate about supporting local, and avid supporters of the Cluny Animal Trust. Ultimately, our goal is to contribute to a cause that is very close to our hearts as well, being the Lawrence De Lange Nature Reserve in Queenstown.

Region: Free State / Free State

A home from Home!

We offer luxury self catering accommodation in the beautiful town of Clarens in the Eastern Free State. Our home offers a place to relax with family, friends and fur babies. With over 3000m2 of garden, there is plenty of place to have fun with the kids and a safe haven for your pets.

We have the most spectacular view of Mt Horeb as well as the Lesotho Maluti Mountains. Just a 5 minute walk for the bustling town centre.

Our house is a home from home. We can accommodate up to 8 guests. Our kitchen area has been the focal point for our guests, as it is fully equipped for all types of cooking and baking. And for the braai lovers, we have an outdoor braai on the deck.

We have two indoor fire places for those cold nights. And we provide all linen and towels for your stay, as well as extra blankets and hot water bottles. Games, books and puzzles are there for your entertainment too!

A break away is much need

This per friendly establishment has some of the best views of the area around Clarens. The property is well planned and rest and relaxation at its prime focus. The kitchen is well planned, ample crockery and cutlery and is a chefs dream. The passion of the owners is tangible through the property as well as communication with them. The facility is perfectly located: close to town to walk, but far enough away to have the best tranquility

Rhino Retreat Clarens is your home away from home. The perfect breakaway anytime of the year. Every visit is special in its own way. The mountain range views to the fresh air to the beautiful surrounds just add to the extra bliss to your stay. Your host/s are phenomenal and add their special touch to your stay. The added benefit is that you can take your fur babies with. I love Rhino Retreat Clarens.
