About this property
Set in the heart of Clarens, a village at the foot of the Maleti Mountains, this guest house is great for exploring South Africa’s Free State province. Built in Neo-Colonial style, Red Mountain House features 8 comfortably furnished guest units. Relax in front of the fireplace in your seating area or take in magnificent views from the comfort of your balcony. Persian carpets, four-poster beds and turn-of-the-century antiques complement each of the rooms. Next to an on site restaurant, Red Mountain House includes an in-house shop selling African and local art. Choose a number of beautiful souvenirs for your family or friends. With the village market square just a short walk away, you can also opt to explore nearby stores. Please could you add that Red Mountain House will be minimally affected by the Clarens crisis as we have installed back up water tanks.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.8 for a two-person trip.
