This was our second stay at Sam's place. When we left, my wife and I agreed: next time in the beautiful town of Clarens, we'll book there again.

Waarde vir geld en gunstige ligging.

Uitstekende fasiliteite met 'n besonderse atmosfeer en uitsigte. Loopafstand vanaf winkels en restaurante. 'n Jammerte dat waterbeperkings toegepas word waaraan die eienaars geen skuld dra nie. Waarsku miskien gaste, wat nie altyd bewus is van die plaaslike watersituasie nie, vooraf.

Value for money and convenient location.

Excellent facilities with a special atmosphere and views. Walking distance from shops and restaurants. A shame that water restrictions are applied for which the owners bear no fault. Perhaps warn guests, who are not always aware of the local water situation, in advance.

Bekostigbaar en rustig. Verfrissend.

Baie eenvoudig maar het alles gehad wat ons nodig het. Die "basics" was daar en was reg gedoen. As ek een voorstel kan maak, is vir die eienaars om 'n slim TV te kry. Dan kan inwoners met hul eie data en rekeninge op DStv, YouTube, ens. inskakel vir sport en musiek.

Die huis is modern en pragtig. Die huis en kamers is ruim en mooi.

Die huis is net 'n stap afstand van alles wat mens benodig. Die "self-service" ten aansien van die inklok en uitklok is baie gerieflik en is goed aan my gekommunikeer. Die kamers is ruim, met baie pakplek, en die huis is skoon en netjies. Ek sal aanbeveel dat mens die hele huis uitboek, siende dat die gemeenskaplike areas soos die kombuis, leefarea en stoep/braai gedeel word deur al die gaste. Die uitsig is pragtig en die huis is lekker koel in die somer.

The house is modern and beautiful. The house and rooms are spacious and beautiful.

The house is just a step away from everything one needs. The "self-service" regarding check-in and check-out is very convenient and was well communicated to me. The rooms are spacious, with plenty of storage space, and the house is clean and tidy. I would recommend that you book the whole house, seeing that the common areas such as the kitchen, living area and porch/braai are shared by all the guests. The view is beautiful and the house is nice and cool in the summer.

Best when you book the whole house.

We had a couple retreat and booked all three rooms. I cannot recommend that you book any other way, unless if you don't mind sharing space with total strangers. The kitchen and lounge are common areas. The house is clean and warm in winter. That's the best part about it. There is a wood burner, a gas heater and electric blanket in every room. The views are amazing. It is situated a walking distance from the square. Won't have to worry about finding parking. We will definitely be returning.

Ons was drie paartjies en het dit geniet aangesien ons die hele huis se gebruik gehad het.

Ligging baie naby aan die plein is gerieflik. Die huis het alles wat mens benodig en vertrekke is ruim en netjies. Ons het die kaggel en elektriese komberse waardeer met die koue naweek. Kombuisdeursleutel was nie beskikbaar, so kon nie die vol asbliksakke buite sit nie. In die algemeen is dit baie goeie waarde vir geld en ons het die kuier daar baie geniet.

We were three couples and enjoyed it as we had the use of the whole house.

Location very close to the square is convenient. The house has everything you need and the rooms are spacious and tidy. We appreciated the fireplace and electric blankets on the cold weekend. Kitchen door key was not available so could not put the full bin bags outside. Overall, it is very good value for money and we really enjoyed our stay there.

Bare basics, but affordable and well-kept.

Although the accommodation lacked some necessary day-to-day items that would have been nice (eg. wifi, double plugs, salt and pepper, sanitary bin in bathroom), the place was clean, tidy and well-organised by the management team. Easy check-in with a lock box and good communication with the host. Would recommend to those visiting Clarens on a budget.

Prentjiemooi, netjies en vir seker waarde vir geld.

Ons het ongelooflik lekker gebly in die mooi huis. Ons het al drie kamers geboek so die hele eenheid/huis was ons s'n. Alles was baie mooi skoon en netjies en die plekkie het 'n pragtige uitsig oor die berge. Dit was nie minimalisties vir ons nie, dit was pragtig. Ek sal hierdie plekkie met lof vir ander aanbeveel.

It was nice to stay there despite the cold floors and the rain!

Our personal choice is not to share a kitchen. It was a nicely built house with just the essentials in it - hence the name.

Minimalist, but comfortable and everything you need. Close to the main square so easy walking distance. Will stay there again.

Beautiful views and nice, high ceilings. Warm water takes a while to arrive at the shower, so have patience. Loadshedding affected water supply to the room, but I think that is a problem in Dihlabeng municipality.

Verblyf uitstaande. Naby besighede. Net genoeg maar alles wat jy nodig het.

My vrou wil dat ek noem dat die tuin aandag kort en ongelukkig het iemand gemors in die erf gegooi. Ek hou besonders van die manier hoe ek kon in- en uitboek.

Lekker rustig en netjies.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. De Minimalist House was heerlik en skoon toe ons daar aangekom het. Die water druk was bietjie swak maar genoeg dat mens kon nog regkom. Ons sal weer hier wil bly as ons weer Clarens besoek. Die plek is ideal vir gesinne of 'n groep vriende vir 'n naweek weg.

We had a very nice stay. De Minimalist House was lovely and clean when we got there. The water pressure was a little weak but enough that you could still manage. We would like to stay here again if we visit Clarens again. The place is ideal for families or a group of friends for a weekend away.

Minimalist - just the bare minimum to be comfortable.

You get what you pay for. It's cheap, so you get the least. TV has only 1 channel. Entrance/driveway is very style and bad, if there are many cars it is difficult. The neighbor's yard is full of rubbish that spoils the view. No door for bathroom, door locks screws are not properly in, and the pillows are very uncomfortably thick. There were also no lamps etc. for loadshedding, we just found a candle in a beer bottle in the kitchen and used it. But otherwise it was pleasant. I would not recommend it, to go alone, and share with other strange families. But for others it's probably nice that way. It was very clean and tidy, only roughly finished. We saw no "staff", went in and out ourselves.

Slegs oornag en vroeg weer op pad gewees, het voldoen aan behoefte.

Geen ander gaste gewees die aand toe ons oorslaap nie, was 'n bietjie bekommerd hoe sou communal area gebruik word en moontlike geraas van verskeie kamers aanliggend. Dit was egter baie rustig en sal dit weer oorweeg.

Thanks for the kind words and honest review.

Het die tyd daar baie geniet, loop vandaar na die staproetes omtrent 300 m. Julle padaanwysing is nie korrek nie, jy draai in Mainstr dan in vdMerwe-str links en regs in Roosstr tweede erf aan linkerkant no is groot op 'n bord by pad.

The house is beautiful, and 101% clean. It's a home away from home. The weekend was cold because it was raining but we were grateful because we had two heaters to warm the place.

Lekker naweek in Clarens, soos gewoonlik.

Gerieflike, ruim gastehuis, binne 250 m loopafstand na restaurante en middedorp. Kan De Minimalist aanbeveel.

Goeie waarde vir geld met 'n goeie ligging!

Dit was 'n baie lekker tyd by de Minimalist House. Die huis is netjies, mooi en modern. Sal net vra vir meer bekers, glase ens. Andersins was alles puik.

Nice, but it could've been better.

I would put a gas heater in every room, because the rooms is very cold. Carpets in the room will help a lot with the heater. A fireplace in the living room would give a warm welcome feeling. The braai equipment is not really furnished. The heating blanket on the right side of the bed didn't work.

Dit was die swakste plek wat ek nog ooit gebly het.

Sal vir niemand aanbeveel nie. Die afwerking van die huis is regtig onsmaaklik en vir seker minimalisties. Hulle het regtig minimum spandeer. Ek het skaam gekry om ons vriende daar te onthaal.

Vreemd omdat daar niemand is om jou te ontvang nie.

In die slaapkamers is geen los matte nie. Veral in Clarens en die winter wat op pad is, sal dit aanbeveel word. Daar is ook net 1 bedkassie? Sal verkies dat weerskante van die bed darem 'n bedkassie is. My glas water moes op die grond staan en dis 'n baie hoë bed. Sal verkies dat daar bedlampies ook is (dis tog iets wat ons in ons huise het).

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Strange because there is no one to receive you.

There are no loose carpets in the bedrooms. Especially in Clarens and the coming winter, it would be recommended. There is also only 1 bedside table? Would prefer that either side of the bed is at least a bedside table. My glass of water had to be on the ground and it's a very high bed. Would prefer that there are bedside lamps as well (it's something we have in our homes after all).

Hi Anil,
Dankie vir die eerlike oorsig. Ons selfdiensaanbod laat gaste toe om gerieflike tyd op te daag. Ons stem saam dat Clarens kan koud wees en los matte sal noodsaaklik wees in die slaapkamer. Ons waardeer jou sienings. Bly veilig en bly geseënd.

Overnight stop

Our stay at De Minimalist was comfortable and clean. Quiet, even though it is just a block away from the tourist center, which was great. The only concern is that the large rooms with big glass windows were cool in late autumn and could be cold in winter. The bedding was however warm and comfortable.

Gerieflik maar huis lyk onafgerond.

Die huis is baie ruim maar ons het vir 'n lang ruk geen warm water gehad nie. Eers toe ons die wasbak se krane en die stort se krane gelyk oopdraai, het daar warm water deurgekom. Ek weet daar bestaan so iets soos 'n industriële tipe argitektuur maar dit werk nie vir my nie. Om die vloere en mure se barre sement so te sien, is nie vir my nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Comfortable but house looks unfinished.

The house is very spacious but we had no hot water for a long time. Only when we turned on the sink taps and the shower taps at the same time did hot water come through. I know there is such a thing as an industrial type of architecture but it doesn't work for me. Seeing the floors and walls' barren cement like that is not for me.

Baie lekker gebly. Die eienaar se reëlings was baie goed.

Die plek is soos die naam aandui - minimalisties. Ek vermoed daar word nog aan gewerk. Hier en daar sal ’n ekstra tafeltjie of stoel handig wees. Kan dit met die grootste vrymoedigheid aanbeveel. Die uitsig is pragtig en alles werk.
