The guest house is well situated in a quiet yet close to Clarens' central square location. The room was very comfortable especially the heated floors and electric blanket for the colder nights. The inn was very clean and well maintained. Finally, Casper is an outstanding cook as he provided a full and complete meal that keeps one satisfied most of... More

We spent 2 nights at Sir Henry's. Casper is a great host and we were soon very at home. Our room was large, airy and well furnished. his garden is wonderful and a great tribute to his very green fingers. Walk around it with your complimentary glass of sherry before dinner, Sadly a slight misunderstanding about dates meant that we... More

Sir Henry's is the best guest house my wife and I have ever stayed in. Everything from the room, the setting, and the breakfast was exemplary. I had read a lot about Casper's breakfasts being the best, and I was not disappointed, they are absolutely phenomenal. Situated just outside of town, but still close enough to walk to, the location... More

We ( 4 friends) stayed at Sir Henry's for one night on the way to Lesotho and sampled Casper's three course dinner with wine pairings whilst we were there, it was simply excellent. Sir Henry's rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable and the dinner & breakfast were a culinary delight. I can't really think of much else to say other... More

It is peaceful, the rooms are spacious, the garden is delightful and the breakfast is absolutely incredible...a real work of beauty, it is also... More

Sir Henry's is situated at the bottom end of town, but it doesn't really matter as it is a small town anyway. The property is immaculately groomed with beautiful gardens and a cheeky pet rooster who crows at some very unearthly hours. The room we had was nicely appointed and had nice touches such as complimentary sherry and double hand... More

Beautiful guesthouse set in peaceful cul de sac yet close enough to town. Stylish and spacious rooms, patio and landscaped gardens. Host gives attention to detail and serves BEST breakfast ever enjoyed at any establishment I've stayed. Highly recommended.

Very close to the centre of Clarens, but also very peaceful. We really enjoyed the stay. We went in August but heaters, underfloor heating and wood, firelighters and matches were all provided without needing to be requested. Superb breakfast as well. Braai facilities were also provided. Extremely good value for money. We'd never been before, and the owner was very... More

So much more than we hoped for. The rooms are very luxurious and stunningly decorated. The breakfast are better than any breakfast meal we've had from any b&b, hotel or restaurant ever!

This guest house lived up to all the superlatives in the previous reviews. We were there during a particularly cold spell in the area and the room, with its underfloor heating, was toasty warm. The room itself was large, with not only a very comfortable bed, but also a small sitting area. Extremely tastefully decorated, with attention to every small... More
