4-star guesthouse at the foot of the Maleti Mountains in Clarens

Amenities

Red Mountain House includes an in-house shop selling African and local art, with items sourced directly from regional artists. The property offers on-site spa services that include massages, body treatments, and facials. Back up water tanks have been installed to ensure minimal disruption during municipal water restrictions.

Rooms

The 8 guest units are built in Neo-Colonial style, each furnished with Persian carpets, four-poster beds, and turn-of-the-century antiques. Each room offers a fireplace in the seating area and a balcony with views of the Maleti Mountains. Room 8 has a large balcony overlooking the park, while the standard Luxurious King Room includes a seating area and balcony.

Location

The guesthouse sits on the square in central Clarens, next to the Clarens Brewery and a 1-minute walk from the village market square. Richard Rennie Art Gallery is within 0.2 miles, and Clarens Private Nature Reserve is just 0.1 miles away. Drakensberg Mountains are accessible via a 15-minute drive, with Golden Gate Highlands National Park nearby.

Dining

On-site restaurant Bocca di Lupo serves Italian cuisine and can arrange in-room dining for guests staying in the rooms above. The restaurant has a seating area on the square, and its music stops by 9-10 pm to keep noise levels down. Next door, the Clarens Brewery offers additional food and drink options within walking distance.

Wellness

The on-site spa provides massages, body treatments, and facials, with appointments available through the reception. There is a dedicated relaxation area, and guests can also order flowers, champagne, and chocolate cake for special occasions.

“This establishment places you directly in the heart of Clarens, a position that truly lets you explore the village on foot, with convenient and secure parking available. The spacious rooms, many with generous balconies, provide a comfortable retreat, and I found the early check-in option particularly thoughtful. While breakfast isn't included, the advantageous central placement, often above a well-regarded Italian restaurant, makes it a practical base for experiencing the town.”
