| What Else is happening in Clarens? |
| For those less sporty Clarens is home to some of the finest
artists in South Africa and there are eighteen art galleries
in Clarens or immediate surrounds, some say that Clarenites
have “mastered the art of living”. Add to this
a whole host of street Café’s and restaurants,
where you can strike up conversations with visitors as well
as locals while watching an afternoon disappear over the mountains.
If shopping is your forte then there are many shops in Clarens
that will interest you offering every thing from books, to
pottery to modern furniture. Bethlehem is a mere fifteen minutes
drive and boasts all the modern conveniences of the City. Clarens
is still developing and with the Clarens Golf and Trout Estate
development boasting 30kms of trout waters as well an international
standard golf course, as well as Eagles View where the stands
probably have the best vistas of Clarens, the new golf course
as well as the Maluti and Rooiberg mountains and Clarens itself

as Bloemfontein wanting to build or buy a home in Clarens. |

Each season is special in Clarens, but winter is perhaps
the most magical with everyone anticipating snow and the
children, young and old meet on the main square and make
snowmen or have snowball fights. Skiing and snowboarding
is now also available at
Afri - Ski a mere hour and a half’s drive from Clarens
in to the Kingdom of Lesotho. Clarens also recently became
the first town in South Africa to be awarded Proudly South

that is uncomplicated, civilized and safe, make Clarens your

come and retire to. |
