The Courtyard Guest House is part of the Courtyard Cafe, which alongside the bakery & deli is famous for its breakfasts.
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 rooms can be booked on a room only basis, which gives you the option of trying out the many other restaurants in the village, or include breakfast, and join us at your leisure in the cafe.
Our housekeeper services the rooms daily.
Queen beds with electric blankets, flat screen TV with DStv, 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 which afford you a more up close view of our area.

Reviews
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

Clarens Reviews
Everything is fabulous and accommodates everybody and the place is simple and loving, it attract many tourists,
Country life, life style, restaurants.
Golden Gate, Baris Cheese Farm, Clarens Town.
Everything about this little town in its beautiful setting, the variety of people, the shops and restaurants. Its just good for the soul really!!
Unique little time capsule - remnants of yesteryear with all the mod cons of modern living and spectacular Mountain settings. Definitely a place to see and experience!
It is a very beautiful town with friendly people.
Peace and quiet at Christmas time. A good Christmas lunch at Gosto restaurant (but beware the R100 cover charge per person). "Eat cheese" for a wonderful breakfast platter. Golden Gate in all its majesty.
It's a quaint little town that knows how to keep tourists happy. Stop in the town square on a weekend for a walk around the market and a cold beer at the brewery.
It is a beautiful village. Many restaurants.
The mountain views and the art galleries in Clarens.
