Situated 15 minutes from the Golden Gate National Park, the property is conveniently accessible, being 3 hours from Gauteng, Pretoria, and Bloemfontein, and 4 hours from Durban.

In 2021, owners Johan and Madeleine acquired the property, which is strategically positioned adjacent to the conservancy and within walking distance of the town center.

The property boasts several modern amenities, including solar power backup during outages, uncapped high-speed WiFi, and environmentally conscious recycling practices. Its location provides direct access to the Clarens Conservancy, one of South Africa's best-maintained conservation areas, offering well-marked hiking trails suitable for various skill levels. A conservation fee is required for trail access.

Meander Stay Clarens combines the tranquility of mountain-side living with the convenience of proximity to Clarens Square. Guests can enjoy the peaceful environment, abundant birdlife, and easy access to local attractions, including art galleries, outdoor adventures, and the vibrant local culture. The establishment's position near the Clarens Golf and Trout Estate provides additional recreational opportunities for visitors.
