Excellent, Beautiful, unexpected Gem! If you have young kids and enjoy the outdoors, this place is perfect. It started from driving in from the Harrismith side in the late afternoon, the colours reflected off the mountain left me speechless. Scenic parking spots along the way to enjoy the view. Animals were seen along the roadside from cows and horses to antelope, zebra and birds. Except for Harrismith, the quality of the roads was mostly good, well repaired potholes and a few uneven surfaces. Beware of the blinding sun while driving. Kiara's location is central to exploring the area. The accommodation was clean, spacious and well apportioned. While the units were a bit too close for my comfort, we did enjoy some privacy. Playground for the kids with bunnies hopping around. Planned entertainment activities daily for children, adults and families. Lots of activities in and around Kiara, most incredible is the affordable costs of paid for activities compared to other holidays and tourist areas. Free Hiking routes that are easy for young and old, hot water pool with jacuzzi, small practical gym, pedal boats. Paid for small gorge swing, horseriding from between R100 (Clarens Town) and R250 (Golden Gate Park) /hour, catch and release fishing. Explore the mountains, waterfalls, dams. Weekends are very busy in the area with day trippers and weekenders, I found it to be much more pleasant midweek if you prefer quiet and peace. Others mentioned No lifeguards, but there was always one on duty while we were there. The heated pool is deep, about 1,7m off the second step and does not have any indicators of depth. It seemed that most complaints that I saw on the reviews were addressed by Management. Quite commendable. Rooms: Spacious, Well proportioned with spacious bathrooms. shower with rails and seat for handicap and elderly. Nearby activities: Hiking, horse riding, trout fishing, explore Clarens town. Safety: Seemed quite safe, resort had many security guards, fenced in design, cameras and helpful staff. Walkability: Great area for walking and hiking. Food & drinks: On-site shop and restaurant with bar.

This is the best place to go whenever I need a breakaway, whether it is to rest or to go wild on the many other activities. Located in the most beautiful and scenic area of the Eastern Free State, it is easily reachable and lends the best atmosphere for chilling. Neatly kept lawns and pathways allow you to walk around with joy. The units are amazing and beautifully kept, as I've stayed on different ones over the years. What a joyful to stay here.

The apartment was spacious enough for my family and it had everything, it felt like home away from home. There’s enough entertainment for little ones so you and the kids will never be bored. The spa is just the cherry on top. I’ll be coming back soon
