Description

Gypsy Wagons Clarens – Hand-crafted Glamping Retreat

Nestled beneath majestic oak trees just 600 m from the Clarens Village Square, Gypsy Wagons Clarens offers a unique self-catering glamping experience. Hand-crafted wooden wagons and vintage camper vans create a magical setting where comfort meets creativity — perfect for couples or travelers seeking something special and serene.

The Gypsy Haven features four authentic wooden wagons — Rosella, Esmerelda, Queenie and Thisbe — each individually designed with colourful décor, raised queen-size beds, ensuite bathrooms, and kitchenettes. Cozy fireplaces or wood-burning stoves add warmth on chilly Clarens nights, while thick insulation keeps each wagon cool in summer.
Two camper vans, Delilah the Dreamer (a vintage VW Autovilla) and Tilly the Flamingo (a custom panel van), are fully equipped for a comfortable stay and include kitchenettes, private seating areas and nearby outdoor showers in the bamboo forest.

Guests enjoy:
• Free Wi-Fi and daily servicing
• Borehole water – always available
• Secure parking with remote-controlled access
• Outdoor fire-pit and braai area
• Hammocks, swings and shaded garden seating
• On-site massage studio with trained therapist
• Waterfall shower and the well-known “loo with a view”

Gypsy Wagons Clarens lies within walking distance of shops, galleries and cafés. Scenic hiking trails begin at the property, and Golden Gate Highlands National Park is a 20-minute drive away. The setting offers the perfect balance of peaceful nature and easy access to Clarens attractions.

• Adults only (no children under 10)
