Lovely house close to everything. Nice big house with everything you need, and within walking distance of everything, right opposite the Protea Hotel in town.

Heerlike huis naby alles. Lekker groot huis met alles wat mens nodig het, en loopafstand van alles af, reg oorkant die Protea Hotel in die dorp.

AMAZING, amazing, amazing! We had a wonderful stay, coffee early in the morning on the porch while watching the sun rise over the mountains, red wine in the evening in front of the fireplace. Children and dog loved it, nice and close to als. We had a lovely walk. Definitely a must!

Ons het heerlik gebly, koffie vroeg oggende op die stoep terwyl mens kyk hoe die son oor die berge opkom, rooiwyn in die aand voor die kaggel. Kinders en hondekind was mal oor dit, lekker naby aan als. Ons het heerlik gestap. Beslis 'n moet!

AFTER. Ideally located for any traveler wanting to explore Clarens and close to the Town Square. The unit met all our requirements.

NA. Ideaal geleë vir enige reisiger wat Clarens wil verken en naby aan die Dorpsplein. Die eenheid het aan al ons vereistes voldoen.

Lovely place to visit with a convenient location. Lovely place to visit with a convenient location. Easy walking distance to most shops and restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed the porch. Rooms are also nice and private.

Heerlike kuierplek met 'n gerieflike ligging. Heerlike kuierplek met 'n gerieflike ligging. Gemaklike stapafstand na die meeste winkels en restaurante. Ons het die stoep terdeë geniet. Kamers is ook lekker privaat.

Location good, but property disappointing. House is well located, but the photos are not what we experienced - house, furniture and garden are very badly neglected - actually shocking! Not value for money at all. There are also no anti-theft devices on the doors and windows.

Ligging goed, maar eiendom teleurstellend. Huis is goed geleë, maar die fotos is nie wat ons ervaar het nie - huis, meubels en tuin is baie erg verwaarloos - einlik skokkend! Glad nie waarde vir geld nie. Daar is ook nie diefwering aan die deure en vensters nie.

Clarens Butterfly Villa

Hi Jopie. Wow, you just about had a bad experience. Now that's a shame, and in complete contrast to the feedback we get from all our other guests. It is strange that you say the pictures are not what you experienced, we replaced all the beds, bedding and towels at the beginning of July and took new pictures the same day so they are up to date and a true reflection of the Villa gives. We moved furniture around the living room and posted those photos as well. It is important to keep all the photos up to date. About the garden, remember Clarens is located in an area that experiences very low temperatures during the winter months and we have experienced temperatures of -10 degrees and below this year. Nothing grows in those conditions and so the garden may look neglected, but that's really just because it's this time of year and in a month everything will look different again. Now that I think about it, I realize that there were even pictures posted of the winter and summer garden. This is the first and only review we have received that says the house and furnishings are neglected. We will definitely look into it and address it if necessary. There are no burglar bars on the windows, you're right. It is actually wonderful when you realize that there are still safe places in South Africa where your view does not have to be obstructed by bars. We did a study at the beginning of July and compared our prices to similar houses in the town that have the same location. It was very interesting, because we realized that we could actually charge up to 50% more than we currently do. We have not changed the prices even though it is our full right to do so, and so far we have only received positive comments about our prices. I see you gave us 1/5 for Cleanliness and I wonder why. Every time I do an inspection after the house is vacated and cleaned, it is spotless. I will talk to the manager and her ladies and find out what their experience was so we can make sure the fault is not ours and if there is, that it doesn't happen again. Maybe you'll give Clarens Butterfly Villa another chance in the future, when it's summer and the garden is nice and green and lush.

Hi Jopie. Sjoe, jy het omtrent 'n slegte ervaring gehad. Dis nou jammer, en heeltemal kontrasterend tot die terugvoer wat ons van al ons ander gaste kry. Dit is vreemd dat jy sê die foto's is nie wat julle ervaar het nie, ons het aan die begin van Julie al die beddens, beddegoed, en handdoeke vervang en dieselfde dag nuwe foto's geneem sodat dit op datum is en 'n ware weerspieëling van die Villa gee. Ons het meubels in die sitkamer rondgeskuif en daardie foto's ook geplaas. Dit is belangrik om al die foto's op datum te hou. Oor die tuin, onthou Clarens is geleë in 'n area wat baie lae temperature ervaar gedurende wintermaande en ons het hierdie jaar temperature van -10 grade en laer ervaar. Niks groei in daardie omstandighede nie en dus lyk die tuin dalk verwaarloos, maar dis eintlik net omdat dit hierdie tyd van die jaar is en oor 'n maand lyk alles weer anders. Nou dat ek daaraan dink, besef ek dat daar tot selfs foto's van die winter- en somertuin geplaas is. Hierdie is die eerste en enigste resensie wat ons ontvang het wat sê die huis en meubels is verwaarloos. Ons sal definitief daarna kyk en aandag gee indien nodig. Daar is nie diefwering aan die vensters nie, jy is reg. Dit is eintlik wonderlik as mens besef dat daar nog steeds veilige plekke in Suid-Afrika is waar jou uitsig nie belemmer hoef te word deur tralies nie. Ons het aan die begin van Julie 'n studie gedoen en ons pryse vergelyk met soortgelyke huise in die dorp wat dieselfde ligging het. Dit was baie interessant gewees, want ons het besef dat ons eintlik tot 50% meer kan vra as wat ons tans doen. Ons het nie die pryse verander nie al is dit ons volle reg om dit te doen, en tot nou het ons net positiewe kommentaar ontvang oor ons pryse. Ek sien jy het vir ons 1/5 gegee vir Cleanliness en ek wonder hoekom. Elke keer as ek inspeksie doen nadat die huis ontruim en skoongemaak is, is dit silwer skoon. Ek sal wel met die bestuurder en haar dames gesels en uitvind wat hulle ervaring was sodat ons kan seker maak die fout lê nie by ons nie en as daar is, dat dit nie weer gebeur nie. Dalk sal jy Clarens Butterfly Villa weer 'n kans gee in die toekoms, wanneer dit somer is en die tuin mooi groen en weelderig is.

The house is conveniently located and spacious. The view was breathtaking and peaceful. We felt wonderfully at home in the house and every room had the most beautiful view. The house is close enough to the village to be able to walk and visit.

Die huis is gerieflik geleë en ruim. Die uitsig was asemrowend en rustig. Ons het heerlik tuis in die huis gevoel en elke kamer het die mooiste uitsig gehad. Die huis is naby genoeg aan die dorpie om te kan stap en kuier.
