Highlands Mountain Retreat is a highly recommended property for self catering in Clarens for tourists visiting the Thabo Mofutsanyana region.

About Highlands Mountain Retreat

Highlands Mountain Retreat is the perfect getaway for visitors craving a secluded setting. The wooden cabins, tucked into the mountainside, offer unbelievable vistas of the surrounding Maluti's, that seem to stretch as far as the eye can see. A great escape for the mind, body and soul, the Highlands Mountain Retreat, is a luxury camp in the Golden Gate National Park.

Close your eyes and allow your senses to totally relax. Breathe in the crisp, fresh mountain air and slowly allow your eyelids to open. Take in the awesome view of the overlapping mountain range, all the while knowing that you are standing 2200m above sea-level, the only place in South Africa at this height

Self Catering Accommodation

Home to eight log cabins nestled in the foothills of Golden Gate, that can accommodate four families of four guests each (two bedroom cabins) and four that can accommodate two guests each (1 bedroom cabins), making this camp, a definite must visit for all.
