Guided hiking Eddies as a leading self-catering as well as B&B establishment in Clarens, North-Eastern Free State, offers exciting guided hiking in the areas surrounding Clarens. The guided hiking takes place under leadership of a qualified and known mountain walk leader who admittedly has several years experience in mountain walking as well as extensive knowledge about the beautiful area, the historical sites, and fauna & flora of the region. If you want to break free from the rat race for a week or weekend make your way to Clarens. It is a mere three hours drive from Johannesburg and on the way to the Golden Gate National Park (17km) and if you are living in Bloemfontein or Durban it will still be only three hours drive. As such you will not find a more centrally located self catering resort that offers guided hiking than Eddies with its five fully equipped villas accommodating up to 16 persons at a time. The units at Eddies are fully equipped with microwaves, fridges, DSTV, Mnet, electric blankets and heaters. As an added feature you can also request a unit with a fireplace. Nestled amongst mountains, Clarens with it very own Red Mountains, is a hikers haven. More so is Eddies self catering or b&b which is only ten minutes from nearby streams and Clarens mountain by foot and five minutes from the town centre. While you lodge at Eddies you can put away the notebook and take out your binoculars, camera, and walking shoes to explore the Red Mountains. From short two hour guided hiking up a local mountain and a leisurely stroll around Clarens to a seven hour hike up Mountain Horeb for a stunning view of the surrounding mountains can be undertaken. We also offer a trip to the famous Sentinel, which is a Drakensberg peak in Qwa Qwa. It is one of those excursions that make memories for a lifetime. Once there you will have to climb a 35 metres ladder up the cliff face to reach the top from where you will have the most awe inspiring views. For those who are a bit apprehensive about a long ladder climb there is an option to use the gully to travel along.   Don’t let life pass you by without taking a trip to Clarens and lodging at Eddies Self Catering offering you guided hiking to the most exquisite destinations. If you book for the mid week time you will also be able to save as we offer special rates during the week.
