Zwartmodder is situated in the peaceful town of Clarens, the jewel of the Free State. The unit offers stylish accommodation in a quiet area of town and is situated a mere 600 m from the town centre with a variety of art galleries, quaint little shops, the brewery and lovely restaurants. Zwartmodder has 2 individually decorated units. The first unit comprises a king-size bed and an open-plan bathroom which has been fitted with an oval-shaped bath. The second unit has 2 bedrooms, each equipped with a double bed with a separate bathroom that has been fitted with a bath and a shower, and a separate toilet. Both of the units are equipped with coffee- and tea-making facilities, as well as a fridge. Clarens is an ideal base to explore the beautiful surrounding areas, including the majestic Golden Gate National Park with it's breathtaking routes and numerous activities. This also makes for an ideal stopover place when traveling from the Free Sate to Durban and Mozambique.
I appreciate all the beauty in live, decor, flowers and gardening. I also do wedding flowers, coordinating weddings and functions. I love cooking and playing house.
Zwartmodder is situated in the quiet part of Clarens. Surrounded by mountains and trees makes the area even more peaceful. With only a walking distance of 670m from the square of Clarens.
