Lovely stay, would definitely recommend. Thank you for the lovely weekend. The hosts were a delight and always ready to help if needed. Small and intimate rondawel/cottage, but exactly what we were looking for. We enjoyed our stay a lot and would definitely stay here again.

A pleasant visit where we felt very much at home. Friendly, helpful hosts. Unfortunately the wifi is not available in the rooms and we had to sit on the farmhouse porch to get any wifi. In the freezing cold it was a bit tricky. The host recommended that we watch the rugby in the Golden Gate hotel (about 9 km from the guest house). It was a pleasant experience, especially when the host Brian also joined us. We hung out like old friends and it was a nice experience.

'n Aangename kuier waar ons baie tuis gevoel het. Vriendelike, hulpvaardige gashere. Ongelukkig is die wifi nie in die kamers beskikbaar nie en moes ons op die plaashuis se stoep gaan sit om enige wifi te kry. In die ysige koue was dit 'n bietjie lastig. Die gasheer het aanbeveel dat ons die rugby gaan kyk in die Golden Gate hotel (ongeveer 9 km van die gastehuis). Dit was 'n aangename ervaring, veral toe die gasheer Brian ook by ons aangesluit het. Ons het soos ou vriende gekuier en dit was 'n lekker ervaring.

Fantastic view over the mountains and beautiful waterfall very close. Nice big open space with the most beautiful view over the mountains. Quiet, yet close to go to town soon.

Fantastiese uitkyk oor die berge en mooi waterval baie naby. Mooi groot oop spasie met die mooiste uitkyk oor die berge. Stil, maar tog naby om gou dorp toe te gaan.

Peaceful getaway from the busier Clarens. We stayed in the Oak Tree Cottage which has a comfortable rondavel feel with a thatched roof keeping the room cool on hot days. The kitchen area is quite small, but was enough to cook and wash dishes. The bar fridge was also just big enough to keep our few days worth of food cool. The bathroom with a shower was pretty neat. The farm itself is breathtaking with a peaceful river and beautiful willow trees under which one can have a picnic. We walked the farm a few times and went jogging in the mornings. It always felt safe. Brian and Lin and their 3 dogs (Tessa, Bently and Genius) were very welcoming and looked after us to make sure we had everything we needed and that we knew where we could go for a walk on the farm and have a picnic. They also gave us suggestions of where we could go for coffee and eat out. We will definitely stay at the De Molen Guestfarm again if we go in the direction of Clarens again.

Rustige wegbreek van die besiger Clarens. Ons het in die Oak Tree Cottage gebly wat 'n gemaklike rondawel-gevoel het met 'n grasdak wat die kamer koud hou op warm dae. Die kombuisarea is nogals klein, maar was genoeg om kos te maak en skottelgoed te was. Die bar-fridge was ook net groot genoeg om ons paar dae se kos koel te hou. Die badkamer met 'n stort was mooi netjies. Die plaas self is asemrowend met 'n rustige rivier en pragtige wilgerbome waaronder 'n mens kan picnic hou. Ons het 'n paar keer op die plaas gestap en gaan draf in die oggende. Dit het altyd veilig gevoel. Brian en Lin en hul 3 honde (Tessa, Bently en Genius) was baie verwelkomend en het mooi na ons gekyk om seker te maak ons het als wat ons benodig en dat ons weet waar ons op die plaas kan gaan stap en picnic hou. Hulle het ook vir ons voorstelle gemaak van waar ons kan gaan koffie drink en uiteet. Ons sal verseker weer by die De Molen Guestfarm bly as ons weer in Clarens se rigting gaan.

Wonderful! Great escape from the busy world. Enjoyed every moment on the farm. Delicious, beautiful hiking trails that our little body also enjoyed immensely. Thanks Lin it was amazing!

Wonderlik! Heerlike wegkoms van die besige wêreld. Het elke oomblik op die plaas geniet. Heerlike, pragtige staproetes wat ons klein lyfie ook vreeslik geniet het. Thanks Lin it was amazing!

Lin and Brian are wonderful hosts and the farm is absolutely wonderful - a delight to stay there. There are some issues with maintenance of the cottage which I believe they are sorting out and the WiFi needs to be fixed. Not visible in photos.

A quiet visit close to nature. We have due to ended up with a double booking at De Molen. Lynne, and later Brian, were very welcoming, and we had a great stay in the cozy Oak Tree Cottage. However, the hiking trail to the overhanging cave and the river for fly fishing was our highlight. We will definitely make a visit there again.

'n Rustige kuier naby die natuur. Ons het a.g.v. 'n dubbelbespreking by De Molen beland. Lynne, en later Brian, was baie verwelkomend, en ons het lekker in die snoesige Oak Tree Cottage gebly. Die staproete na die oorhanggrot en die rivier vir kunsvlieghengel was egter ons hoogtepunt. Ons sal beslis weer 'n draai daar maak.

Overpriced. We have toured South Africa for three months and stayed in numerous self catering accommodation. The most expensive we stayed in was the cottage on De Molen Farm at R1500 per night but it was probably the third least luxurious. The decor was very dated. There is a large crack in the wall from ceiling to window that is very ugly. There is no outside seating that is not overlooked. It has no TV. I understand that Clarens has become a tourist hotspot. But we stayed in cottages in Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Knysna, Plettenberg Bay etc that are in more popular tourist places for less money and far more luxury. The host and hostess were very friendly and helpful.
