Gracie's Cottage

Gracie’s Cottage was created as a welcoming home-away-from-home, inspired by the peaceful beauty of Clarens. Set against the backdrop of the Maluti Mountains, and just a short drive from the Drakensberg’s Golden Gate Highlands, the cottage is ideal for couples, solo travelers, and anyone looking to unwind.

Full marks to Grace. The heaters were switch on to warm the rooms when I arrived. There are gas heaters if it's loadshedding. The fireplace was packed, ready to be used. Clean clean rooms, with everything I needed. Definitely a wonderful stay.

Great experience, definitely to be recommended! The guest house is well located in close proximity to mountainous hiking trails; the Clarence Square can be reached by foot. The accommodation is clean, fresh and spacious with comfortable and well-maintained furniture. The host is awesome and we had a great time in Clarens!

Lovely, relaxed and comfortable stay. Lovely stay. Grace was a very attentive hostess and the cottage was really cosy, with a proper fireplace, which was great for the cold nights.

Comfort, neat, clean and between the most beautiful mountains. It is a particularly comfortable and extremely neat cottage. Everything you need is there. Grace is incredibly hospitable and yes, the rusks are as delicious as everyone says.
