91 guests' feedbackOur room was so cosy and pretty. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be staying at the guesthouse again!
Accommodation was very neat and clean. Arrangements 100% without unnecessary interaction. The only downside of unit 3 is that it borders the house and sounds from the kitchen are heard. Had a great stay.
Quiet, easy and homey. Lovely, my go-to stop from now on.
Lovely view and clean room near to all amenities and walking trails.
Very nice, quiet and safe.
Awesome. Relaxing times.
Peaceful and quiet. The property has the most beautiful gardens.
The environment is quiet and peaceful. We felt safe and slept well. The hostess is friendly and ready to help with anything.
Absolutely fantastic! From arrival to departure.
Thank you very much for a very nice weekend at Forest Lane!. Everything was beautiful and tidy upon our arrival, even with champagne in the fridge!. Wonderful hospitable people with the most beautiful garden and dearest three Australian Shepherds!. The location is ideal if you want to go running or walking in the mountains and the scenery is just exceptional. Would definitely go back anytime!
Very beautiful, quiet and peaceful. Very well located. Nicely furnished. There are self-catering units and also a unit for guests who do not want to cook for themselves. All the units are beautiful. The hostess gave a lot of information about the area and town which helped a lot. Thank you very much.
Will definitely return.
Forest Lane is situated in a stunningly beautiful part of Clarens and the surrounding gardens are beautifully maintained. Unfortunately, the accommodation itself was only disappointing and it would appear that the unit is not continuously upgraded. The 'king' bed of unit 2 is two beds pushed against each other, one of which is already so hollow you can't use the bed to the full. The shower head is shallow and two thick streams of water spray in each direction, flooding the entire bathroom. The unit was also not particularly clean and the bathroom/dressing cubicle lights inside are dirty and full of bugs. All well and good, but for the majority of 2 days there was no power or water. There is also no 'back-up' power or water. Apparently the water is turned off every day from 5pm to 8am - had I known this in advance I would never have stayed at Forest Lane, but instead checked into a hotel that would at least provide basic value for money. Overall just disappointed and really feel like it was a waste of money.
Our room, no 3, was very nicely furnished with plenty of space and a nice big king bed.
It was the most beautiful scenery and garden at Forest Lane. Very friendly and helpful.
Nice stay. Unit is smaller than it appears in photos. Refrigerator in unit is too small.
Very nice, no problems.
Beautiful room and a friendly host. Can highly recommend it. We will be back.
See stars.
The host, Helena, was very helpful and made sure we were happy with everything! Well done!
Definitely value for money, everything you need is there. Will definitely book there again.
Good location and check-in and check-out procedure is easy and convenient. All necessary information is provided in advance.
We would definitely recommend Forest Lane. It has everything a self catering unit needs, it is in a good location and there was good customer service.
Great welcome! Great, neat accommodation.
Had a great stay, was just too short.
Beautiful location, cosy, and perfectly clean.
Beautiful room with nice king size bed. Room was nice and warm even though it was a cold night. Glass of sherry on our arrival was so nice. Our hostess was very friendly and hospitable.
Will go again and recommend to others.
Forest Lane is well located, not only because it is within walking distance of all the shops and restaurants, but also because it has the most beautiful mountain view. Helena was an excellent hostess and available at any time. Accommodation was very neat and safe.
We had a wonderful stay and were private at all times. The room is extremely neat and clean. We were also welcomed by a friendly lady. Great service. Will go back again anytime.
Clarens is worth a visit. Just avoid the R26 - a road from hell. A disgrace that the authorities have allowed it to get into such a state of disrepair. My heart goes out to the farmers and community who rely on this road for their economic survival.
A complimentary welcome drink with fresh flowers made us feel extra special. Thank you very much.
Beautiful gardens and beautiful surroundings, safe and friendly service.
Wounded host. Nice, clean and perfectly located.
Forest Lane is neat, quiet and beautiful. Unit 2 has everything you need in it.
See stars.
Beautiful place. It's very peaceful and close to nice hiking trails.
Not clear description of what is not available. Have booked with other places, where there is a clear outline of what is available and what is not. Even the apartments at the other places at least had cutlery, microwave and TV, at a much lower price.
Our stay was very peaceful and the unit is very neat and clean, will definitely stay there again if we visit Clarens again.
The 3 star for value is the load shedding issue. I could stay home and have the same set up. For that price per night, the owner should invest in alternative energy applications.
Aunt Helena really went out of her way to welcome us. We enjoyed it so much and look forward to our next visit. The rooms are incredibly beautiful and the "view and garden" is even more beautiful! There were even hot water bottles ready for us if the cold was too bad. Our hearts ached to have to go home.
My wife and I and our 12-year-old Saniel visited here for my wife's birthday. We were received generously and a lot of effort was made to make us feel at home. Because Helena is now involved in the business sector of Clarens, she was able to serve us with wise advice, or best places to eat and walking routes, etc. We will definitely stay at Forest Lane again.
The accommodation delivered everything that was advertised. Hospitality by Helena was excellent. We were personally received and greeted again upon departure. Unit was nicely heated and comfortable. We had a great rest, watched Netflix and the WIFI helped to finish work. Clean and tidy, delicious coffee and biscuits were welcome. View on the mountain with sunsets and sunrises is great. The shower was a nice hot water and water pressure experience. Guesthouse is located safely and close to everything.
Very nice stay. Nice and warm in the cold with a beautiful view. Walking distance from town.
Comfortable stay, clean and well maintained. Helpful, friendly hostess. Will definitely return.
Nice room with everything one needs for a comfortable stay.
Helena van Forest Lane's hospitality was one of our highlights! The unit was incredibly beautiful and tidy. It is also located close to the "square" which was convenient for us. I would recommend anyone to book with Forest Lane! They definitely see us again soon.
We would recommend it for sure.
Friendliest host and hostess and best of all, you can bring your pet! Thank you very much Helena and Baron for allowing my 2 naughty baby brats to come together. We will visit again when the 2 "mares" are bigger.
Very neat, friendly hostess. Walking distance to town center and footpaths.
We enjoyed it tremendously and the place is comfortable and well equipped where you can let your soul relax.
Very neat and clean. Also nice and private.
It is indeed very pleasant to stay there for the weekend. Very private, beautiful garden view and mountain view! Close enough to town to walk.
It's right by the entrances of the trails/park run. Forest effect and yet safe, quiet. Even though it's on the owners property, you have your own entrance, privacy looking into their garden where the dogs are playing and lots of bird life.
Forest Lane is the perfect cabin for a couple who wants to break away from the busy city. It is very clean, well decorated and makes you feel spoilt. The kitchenette is ideal for making your own meals. We had the best time. Thank you very much. We will definitely return.
Cute unit conveniently located centrally to the town center as well as the walking paths.
Owner's communication excellent. Key on arrival, power outages and any information required. She recommends places to visit and just has great conversations. What a pleasant person and exceptionally beautiful garden, especially the roses.
Perfect accommodation for 2 people, neat, clean and peaceful environment.
We had a wonderful stay. The separate cottage is stylishly furnished and equipped with all the necessary cutlery and electrical goods. Although there wasn't a television, we didn't miss it. The view of the beautiful garden and the bird feeders contributed to a peaceful and calm atmosphere. Thank you very much Helena for a short but pleasant stay. We will definitely have to come and stay longer next time (as you suggested) to explore the area.
Clarens is a very beautiful town and a very peaceful place. Love the location and the shops and all the attractiveness.
Good service. Friendly people and slept well.
Very happy with the accommodation and surrounds.
A beautiful and tidy cottage near the river in Clarens. Rest and peace for the soul.
Very clean and comfortable.
Very comfortable and beautiful setting!
Thank you guys. We slept well.
We enjoyed our stay and found the accommodation to be perfect.
Excellent Cosy, safe place to perfect your stay without disturbance. Here you can relax and explore the surroundings.
See stars.
Our hosts were absolutely lovely, very caring and helpful and we appreciated their kindness. Beautiful little cottage with the most beautiful scenery and surroundings.
Unit was painstakingly neat and clean. Owner came to ask if everything was acceptable after we were in and no further contact - really a private piece of accommodation. Wonderfully relaxing and after enough to walk to als. Great stay for a couple.
The peaceful atmosphere of the trees and mountains creates the opportunity to recharge for the demanding reality that awaits after a busy first few months of 2021. The neat unit is all that is needed to make the visit in Clarens the best yet.
Wooden house in a corner of the garden. Very private and far from any other guests. Had a great stay and would definitely recommend it.
The unit has absolutely everything one needs. It was delicious.
We were warmly welcomed and the owners made us feel welcome and at ease at all times. It was a fantastic week.
Thank you very much for the fresh flowers and the soft soft pure white bedding. Als was perfect. Thank you also for your kindness, and the communication in advance. We also appreciated the fast WiFi.
Helena, thank you very much for your kindness. All the tips and flowers and just everything you did extra for us. Good luck to you and your family. Friendly greeting.
The venue is beautiful and the accommodation exceeded expectations. Security was good.
Large garden to walk in. Nice view and very neat place to stay
Beautiful garden. Lower green.
Lovely area that is walking distance from town. Very cozy stay, with everything you need. Well appointed. Enjoyed every moment!
Unfortunately it is located on a relatively busy sand road and there is a lot of dust. Braai area is not great. There are many places to choose from in the price range which are larger and equally equipped.
Beautiful place with a mountain view. Nice clean accommodation, we will visit again.
Forest Lane is the perfect choice for accommodation in Clarens. It is situated within walking distance of the restaurants and shops - we loved it!
Bathroom in unit one a bit small and in need of updating.
Aangename verblyf. Baie tuis laat voel met ons vriendelike ontvangs Onverbeterlik.
Thank you very much for your kindness and helpfulness. Beautiful place. Would definitely recommend it if anyone wants to visit a place in Clarens.
The unit was very neat and centrally located. The hostess was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend and stay there again.
Very nice unit that is neat and clean. The unit is very private and has everything to make a weekend getaway very comfortable, such as the luxury large bed, well-equipped kitchen, electric blankets, electric wall heater and gas hob. Very friendly reception and interaction with Helena who goes out of her way to make the stay as comfortable as possible. The guest house is very close to the main part of town and is only a 5 minute walk to all the restaurants and shops.
