This fun guest house, just outside Clarens in the Eastern Free State, looks like it has been transported straight off the pages of a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale.

Close to the charming arty town of Clarens, the Castle in Clarens will suit those with an imagination, a sense of adventure and those looking to stay somewhere shall we say ‘rather unique’.

There are no dull moments to be had in this part of the world, and as the saying goes you are responsible for creating your own magic – it just helps if you are staying in a castle where the lines of fantasy and reality blur.

There are just two bedrooms in Rapunzel’s Tower, sleeping 4 people in total, so quite a good choice for a family.

One of the rooms includes a bath suspended 12 metres above the floor, just as one would expect in a fairytale castle.

Cornerstones from Windsor Castle, tapestries from Dubai, light fittings from America and tiles from Europe all contribute to an eclectic decor.

The garden is especially designed to fit in with the Rapunzel fairytale. Thorn trees, small pathways, and of course the vegetable garden with the famous Rampion, are all very true to the fairytale.

What’s so Special?

South Africa Tourism describe The Castle in Clarens as “a fun guest house geared towards the offbeat traveller looking for something a little different”.

In other words, “completely bonkers” and hence a hotel to be treasured and admired.

Bear in mind

The Castle in Clarens is not exactly a 'castle', and it's not exactly in Clarens either, but let's not split hairs.

The castle is rented as a ‘castle’ i.e. you’ll have the two bedrooms to yourselves with no other guests.

Breakfast is delivered in special treasure chests.
