Worth staying at De Ark. Probably one of the best views of nature near Clarens.

This was an excellent experience. I really enjoyed the place. Had a great hike on the premises and surrounding areas. Room and bedding were very clean. Staff were very friendly and courteous.

Clean, safe and beautiful. Just what you need in order to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Kelly and Silas were great hosts and their breakfast was truly scrumptious. WiFi a bit spotty but nothing we couldn't handle.

Potential, but not ideal for families. De Ark has so much potential, but it fell short of an ideal stay. A splash pool, a small coffee machine in the kitchen, and a bar facility would be great.

Sad. Disappointing. De Ark used to be a very special place we visited many times. There was no firewood in the rooms, breakfast was below average and guests were served instant coffee, which was very disappointing.

Very nice! Except that the power goes out during the night! Very nice! Please explain to people how far the dirt road is! I'm driving as a single person, not safe for me!
