The Courtyard Guest House is complimented by the Courtyard Bakery, were a small menu caters for those who wish to eat breakfast on the premises. Freshly baked goods are also available daily (closed Tuesdays) for eat in or take away.
Built in a modern style to take advantage of the beautiful views, we have 4 double rooms, all located above the bakery, so prepare to be awoken by the smell of freshly baking bread and croissants.
Hot air balloons can often be seen drifting across the valley in front of your balcony; why not book a flight, and make your stay ultra special?
Our housekeeper services the rooms daily.
In Room Facilities:Queen beds with electric blankets, flat screen TV with Netflix and PrimeVideo, Bathroom en-suite with heated towel rails and a shower only (Glynns Cottage has a full bathroom), towels and toiletries.
Tea & coffee tray with fresh milk and complementary bottled water provided in a bar fridge. Sherry for a nip on those chilly evenings.
Each room is on the second floor of the building and has a private balcony providing spectacular mountain views.
Other extras include a fan, oilfin heater, hairdryer and key-less access
Glynns Cottage has a full kitchen with microwave, toaster, oven, kettle, fridge/freezer, so ideal for a family of 4.
Clarens is an easy 3 and half hours from Johannesburg, 3 from Bloemfontein and just over 4 hours from Durban.
Its a great stop over for folks road-tripping to the Cape or families meeting up for a weekend catch-up.
Ficksburg hosts the annual Cherry Festival in November which draws visitors from far and wide.
Don't forget the Clarens Craft Beer Festival which takes place on the village square the last week of every February.
And for those who are a little bit more energetic, there is the Amohela and the Double 90 cycle races, as well as the Titanic Trail Run which affords you a more up-close view of our area.

Reviews
Jane was very accepting and accommodating at short notice.
Jane went out of her way to contact us, as there was a concern about water supply to town. As usual the breakfast at The Courtyard was outstanding. Bedrooms were cleaned beautifully. I would recommend a stay at The Courtyard to all our friends.
We stayed overnight in the 2 bed cottage. It was very nice. We had to leave early and asked for a packed breakfast, and boy did we get one! A wonderful selection of baked goods, ham and cheese, juice, fruit. It was fantastic.
Thank you for a lovely stay. The guesthouse was lovely & neat & clean. Staff incredibly helpful.
Made to feel totally at home. The restaurant attached to guesthouse, incredible food & the divine smells of baked goods first thing in the morning was heaven.
Had a great stay & hope to be back soon

Village atmosphere & the beautiful mountains
Small, quaint, but very lively little town with spectacular views all around. Hiking is a must and can be done on the edge of town. We stayed at Views and the hiking trail was on our back door. Beautiful, beautiful little town offering great food, culture, entertainment and beautiful hiking trails.
