We have loved this beautiful village of Clarens since our first visit over 14 years ago. We love sharing our favorite local places with our guests. It is great to meet amazing and fascinating people from all over the world. We provide a friendly, tranquil, happy place for our guests to relax and recharge. We love all things Gypsy Life! Our Gypsy Haven is our Happy Place!
If you want to experience the true peace of the Clarens - that we love, take a walk into the beautiful natural surrounds. Paths lead directly from our property, and cater for all fitness levels. To truly experience Clarens’ charm pack a picnic lunch and head out to the Kloof dam. Only a 10 minute walk and well worth it. The perfect place to swim and cool off in summer. Bushman paintings adorn many a caves in these parts. Take a stroll around our village square to marvel at the unique and interesting novelty shops. There are a number of wonderful restaurants and pubs to choose from. For the best white water rafting experience available anywhere in South Africa you have to try the Ash River. Up to Grade 4 rapids on one of the top 10 cleanest rivers in the world.
