Mountain hiking retreat Mountain hiking retreat near the Maluti Mountains Only three hours drive from Johannesburg, Durban or Bloemfontein and you will be at Clarens, the art town of the North Eastern Free State, South Africa. It is not hard to see why the town has so many galleries once you have stayed at Eddies, a self catering mountain hiking retreat five minutes walk from the Clarens town centre. The area lends itself to become the focus of the canvas. Beautiful water streams, the mighty Ash River, the nearby Red Mountains, Maluti Mountains of Lesotho in the distance, and the longest Mountain Range of South Africa, the Drakensberg Mountains on the horizon, make for awe-inspiring views and equally impressive photos as well as paintings. It is here at Eddies Mountain Hiking Retreat that you will be able to appreciate original artworks in our very own gallery. Sipping a glass of South African wine in front of the dancing fire in your own fireplace or enjoying a traditional South African braai on the barbeque facility which is just outside your villa will be two of the relaxing activities you will experience at Eddies. It is time to relax and enjoy nature in all its splendour. We offer the guests at our mountain hiking retreat the opportunity to hike up Mount Horeb for more breathtaking views or to take a short two hour guided tour up a local mountain and walk around Clarens. If you have enough time, you shouldn’t miss the opportunity to join us on a trip to the Sentinel, a famous Drakensberg peak in Qwa Qwa only 60 minutes from Clarens. It is here where you will see the beauty of South Africa stretch as far as the human eye can see. From the Tugela Falls to various landmarks can all be seen once you have reached the top of the Sentinel. View our accommodation page for full information on the amenities and villas that we offer.
