Best Getaways 
Platteland
Platteland offers charming, tranquil, and private self-catering accommodation in the little village of Clarens. The property offers a comfortable base to explore the town's attractions and facilities, away from the hustle of busy city life. Platteland offers choices between the 3-bedroom holiday home facing the Rooiberg mountains, a studio, or the 1-bedroom, pet-friendly cottage. The main house has a semi-wraparound porch where groups can enjoy sundowners with a view of the forest and Rooiberg Mountains, BBQ/braai, and seating to soak up the sun. The outside offers a large private yard where kids can play, or you can simply enjoy the outdoors while still in town. Inside the house, you can enjoy a wonderful view through the large windows while in the lounge area that is connected to the semi-open-plan, fully equipped kitchen. The house has 3 bedrooms, the main bedroom with a queen-size bed, and two double-bed bedrooms. There is 1 bathroom in the house. Our cottage offers 1 bedroom with a double bed and an en-suite bathroom with a shower. The unit features a fully equipped kitchen, a lounge area with a sleeper couch, and an outdoor seating area. You are welcome to bring your pets along, as the back area of the cottage has a private, fenced-off little garden where your pets can play freely. Our studio offers an open-plan layout with a double bed and an en-suite bathroom with a bath. The unit features a fully equipped kitchenette and a lounge area with a sleeper couch. The studio contains a smart TV with streaming apps (guests need to log in with their own login credentials), free Wi-Fi, and a BBQ. The town boasts an array of exciting outdoor activities to book and experience. Guests can visit art galleries, and coffee shops, or take a trip to Golden Gate National Park.
Area Info
Clarens is a scenic little village at the foot of Mount Horeb that showcases some of the best of South Africa in a unique way. It is on the Free State Highlands Route, close to Golden Gate National Park. One of the most popular holiday towns in the eastern Free State, its location inspires not only its own residents but everyone who stays there.
An easy three to four hours' drive from Johannesburg, Clarens has become the long weekend mecca of those after an arty, sleepy hollow with just enough entertainment not to be dull.
The town that first enjoyed a revival when it became something of an artists' haven during the early nineties is now premium second home property. It helps that it lies in a particularly scenic spot, surrounded by Rooiberge and the Maluti Mountains a little further southeast; its tree-lined streets and enticing restaurants, art galleries, and boutique-style stores are a reason to amble away the weekend in the town's square.
