Every time I visit Clarens and the Golden Gate area in the eastern Free State I fall in love with it all over again. Visiting it at different times of the year is like a private viewing of nature’s perfect seasonal colour palette, as if discovering the different personality traits and facets of someone you love but will never fully know. It has unmistakably become one of my favourite spots to visit in South Africa and lucky for me I have uncovered that its beauty does not only run skin deep .
Only a 2,5 hours drive from Johannesburg this coined little artist town nestled in the Maluti mountains is not only for gallery browsers and outdoor activity lovers but it comes equipped with its own little bookshop aptly named Bibliophile, for those days when the muscles need to recuperate and your thoughts seek their own adventure and deviation. The shop is situated just of the main street on a little dirt road and is packed with charm, character and above all a great selection of reads.
