Clarens "Jewel of the Free State" situated in the foothills of the Maluti Mountains in close proximity to the Golden Gate National Park and the mountain kingdom of Lesotho. Clarens is an Artists haven with many well known artists either living in or frequenting the village on a regular basis with many art galleries scattered around the village square.
Golden Gate Highlands National Park
This 11 600 hectares of unique environment is true highland habitat, providing home to a variety of mammals, black wildebeest, eland, blesbok, oribi, springbok and Burchell's zebra - and birds, including the rare bearded vulture (lammergeier) and the equally rare bald ibis, which breed on the ledges in the sandstone cliffs. Ribbokkop, the highest point in the park, reveals a breathtaking tapestry of red, yellow and purple hues as its warm shades merge with the cool mountain shadows towards evening.
The main lodge has a cosy atmosphere, where you can enjoy refreshments and drinks or have a relaxed meal in the lounge.

Bethlehem Reviews
I really enjoy smaller towns, its close to Clarence and accommodation is reasonable
The people are friendly and the town is situated in the most beautifull part of the Free State.
Close to Clarens.
Enjoyed dinner at the Wooden Spoon.
It is a small town, but it has all the necessary shops and restaurants.
We went for a doctor's visit, so we did not really move around. We found the bit of shopping that we did very nice and the people very friendly. In summer time this is a very friendly "Platteland" town. Lots of eating places and easy shopping.
Central located.
We found Bethlehem clean and enjoyed the restaurants and pubs.
Less traffic in Bethlehem.
The food and service at Ocean Basket were excellent.
