We had the pleasure of staying at Mon Cheri Guesthouse in Clarens and we highly recommend it. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The owner went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable, offering helpful recommendations for local attractions and dining. The guesthouse itself is beautifully maintained, with stunning furniture that adds a touch of elegance and coziness. Our room was spotlessly clean and well-appointed, with all the amenities we needed for a relaxing stay. The location is ideal, situated in a quiet area but still close to all key attractions. It truly felt like a home away from home. If you’re looking for a place with exceptional service, comfort, and a personal touch, Mon Cheri Guesthouse is the perfect choice. The owner also spoiled our little doggie with a lucky packet full of toys and treats. We look forward to returning for next weekend away! Thank you so much for a lovely time.

We recently stayed at Moncheri and were blown away by the amazing welcome and wonderful aura that Mada had. The location is perfect and central to shops and activities. The kitchen is fully kitted with all essentials for a self catering accommodation. The patio has spectacular views of the mountains, a perfect view for sundowners. It was a great way to relax and unwind in Clarens after a long day of exploring. We would highly recommend Moncheri to anyone looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay.

This is the perfect place for two to stay and enjoy Clarens. Very modern, clean and no comfort spared. It is walking distance from the main park area (this was fantastic for me, I have RA and walking long distances are tricky). The room also has an amazing view, no picture will do it justice.We will definitely come stay here for our next Clarence visit.

Very nice room all newly refurbished. Bit on the small side. We did however have to book somewhere else as the bed is very hard and uncomfortable. We just wanted to enjoy our weekend so went somewhere else we stayed previously and know guaranteed a good nights sleep.

A beautiful home away from home. Mon Cheri is perfectly located within walking distance to the center of Clarens. The self-catering unit is beautiful, and everything has been well thought out with attention to detail and care. The dogs enjoyed the private, fully fenced yard and the special treat bags! Mada, the owner, is very friendly, welcoming, and helpful! We loved our stay and will definitely visit again!
