The Weekend Before the Festive Season Begins

There is a particular point in the year when you realise December is coming.

Suddenly there are gifts to buy, family plans to make, Christmas functions appearing on the calendar and approximately 47 things that apparently need to happen before the year is allowed to end.

Before all of that begins, why not book a weekend away?

One Last Slow Weekend

November is a wonderful time to visit Clarens. The days are warmer, the mountains are beautiful, and there is still enough breathing room before the festive season rush properly takes over.

You can take a walk or cycle around the Clarens Golf Estate, enjoy the scenery and let the day unfold without having to be anywhere particularly urgently.

And then you can head back to St Andrew's Lodge, put your feet up and enjoy the mountain views from the patio.

Bring Your People

A pre-Christmas getaway can also be a lovely opportunity to spend time together before everyone's calendars become completely ridiculous.

Bring the family and let the kids explore. Bring friends and turn the braai into an evening event. Or come as a couple and enjoy a few days where nobody has to decide what needs to be done next.

St. Andrew's Lodge offers a comfortable self-catering base within the Clarens Golf Estate, giving you the freedom to structure the weekend however you like.

There is plenty to explore around Clarens, but there is also absolutely nothing wrong with spending a few hours doing very little.
