Area Info
Clarens, nestled at the foot of Mount Horeb in the Thabo Mofutsanyana District of the Free State, is a charming village that offers a romantic and scenic escape just three to four hours from Johannesburg or Bloemfontein. Located along the Free State Highlands Route and near Golden Gate National Park, Clarens is famed for its picturesque beauty, framed by the Rooiberge and Maluti Mountains.
Originally revived as an artists' haven in the early 1990s, the town has since become a popular weekend retreat, known for its tree-lined streets, sandstone architecture, boutique shops, vibrant art galleries, and cosy restaurants that host live music on weekends. A variety of accommodations, from self-catering cottages and lodges to guest houses and B&Bs, cater to all preferences, while outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy activities like hiking, horse riding, fly fishing, abseiling, white-water rafting, and golf.
