Custom designed and built to meet 4 star requirements in luxury self catering establishments, Ashbrook Country Lodge opened at 19 Hill Street, Clarens with 2 cottages in March 2005. Complete with open fireplaces in the lounges, under floor heating, private braai facilities for each cottage and secure parking, Ashbrook cottages also offer fully equipped kitchens and luxury finishes such as down duvets, cotten linen, large fluffy towels and satellite television. Ashbrook at Hill Street proved so popular that owners, Victor and Vanessa Knowles decided to expand Ashbrook's capacity and purchased another property at 73 Malherbe Street, Clarens. The second phase, cottages 3 and 4 opened in December 2006, also achieving the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa (TGCSA) 4 star status. The building of phase three, 2 additional cottages on the Malherbe Street property is due to commence in June 2009. Ashbrook Country Lodge offer both one and two bedroom cottages suitable for couples and larger groups.
