Brookeside House

Brookeside offers everything you need for a truly unwinding and rejuvenating getaway experience. The accommodation is beautifully decorated, each with its own theme. The rooms all have queen-size extra length beds, underfloor heating and electric blankets, and each room has a private outdoor deck. Under cover parking is also provided.

The Eastern Free State is a beautiful part of the country. We are approximately 20 km from the Golden Gate, 32 km from Bethlehem, and close to the Lesotho border. Clarens offers river rafting, quad biking, horse riding, game farms, hiking, golf, fly fishing, abseiling, archery and many many more activities. There are also numerous art galleries and pottery shops.

In addition, we have a selection of excellent restaurants to pick and choose from. Some of the many events include the Cherry Festival which takes place every year in November, the National Hot-air Balloon Championships in May/June, the Maluti Classic Cycle tour in October, Harley Davidson weekend in November, and Surrender Hill Marathon in February, to name but a few.

Our little town is a haven for artists of all kinds and we were also the first town in South Africa to receive the ‘Proudly South African’ award. When next you plan a short break away from the hum drum of city life, please consider visiting beautiful Clarens.
