Delightful cottage - ideal location, very well equipped & so comfortable, beautiful gardens to relax in, extensive birdlife, & a treat to meet Millie & Goose & Poppy-Cat. Hosted by the lovely Julia & Josh. A luxurious time - will be back.

“Magical place to stay with incredible views and lots to do in the area - we will definitely be back!”

Great location- close to the town but also some great hiking trails straight from the accommodation The cottage was neat and comfortable with everything you needed from fully kitted kitchen to extra blankets and indoor fire to keep you warm and cozy. Plenty of wood provided for indoor and outdoor fires which is great.

“Wonderful setting and a thoroughly charming cottage. We had everything we needed.”

It was very muddy and wet when we arrived and we had difficulty getting into the property

“Wonderful stay at the French Cottage”

We had a wonderful stay at the French Cottages. Everything we needed was provided, making our experience comfortable and enjoyable. The small fireplace added a charming touch, and we loved the ground coffee left for us. The cottage was well-equipped for the cold nights, with warm blankets that kept us cozy. We also took advantage of the nearby attractions, enjoying the short walk to the cave and the river walk. The spacious and cozy setup of the cottage made our stay even more delightful. Thank you, Julia, for providing such a fantastic retreat.

“Delightful. Friendly owners. Beautiful setting. Lovely 5 minute walk from town.”

Pretty little cottage nestling against the sandstone crags and Clarens Nature Reserve. Sweet bedrooms. Delightful grounds. A very happy little spot to call home for the night.

Beautiful cottage and close to nature.

“A beautiful experience. You have to be bold person to stay there though.”

The best place to go if you want to be out of everything noisy. I could easily be with my family while still having time to self. You don’t even need to go anywhere really, especially if you come prepared.

“Beautiful, peaceful location very well located”

Beautiful, peaceful location very well located. Friendly, attentive host in Julia.

“Delightful accommodation in a perfect setting”

Set against the mountain, The French Cottage had a perfect location. It was quiet and secluded- the only noise coming from the rich bird life. One of the Clarens Conservancy Trails started and ended right outside the property. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds comfortable. The Cottage had a lovely atmosphere!

“Magical Getaway”

just loved the ambience and setting 😍 beautiful historical building set against the backdrop of the sandstone cliffs and stunning walkways. A magical stay.

“Amazing and I will definately visit again.”

The French Cottage is the most beautiful cottage. The location is absolutely amazing and the surroundings very nice. Garden is neat and very quiet. A must to visit.

Very comfortable beds and beautiful linen. Very clean and everything we needed. Superb surroundings. We walked every day to the mountain and into town. Very good experience. Julia, our host, was always friendly and offered her assistance and help if needed. We could braai every evening. Rooms are big and bathrooms have a bath and a shower. We can recommend the French Cottage for excellent accommodation.
