The little self-contained cottage, Ansie, was extremely well-appointed and tastefully decorated. It had a lovely veranda with a table and chairs, ideal for taking in the surrounding tranquillity. The friendly animals take 'pet friendly' to a whole new level! A perfect place to break up your travels and unwind!

I like the ancient decor of the rooms. The bed was super confortable. The yogurt and muesli was very nice too. The little area is quiet and safe. The garden is so cute and Bella the cat is very endearing.

Safe parking outside the house on the pavement, It has an exceptionally beautiful garden. It was fascinating to be in a large period home, with period furniture. Very quiet at night. We had access to the kitchen to make coffee/tea. The rooms with a double bed were very spacious compared to the room with twin beds, There were sitting rooms at the guests' disposal.

A beautiful town with so much to explore. For tourists s longer stay is advisable to see everything this lovely place has to offer. But it also offers perfect overnight stops when passing through. We recommend Barrydale Karoo Lodge. With an in-house pub and restaurant, you need nothing more.

Barrydale is a small town with a lot of potential. Wonderful artistic shops and drop in eateries. Amazing 2nd hand bookshop - new books also available - I couldn't leave!! Close to Warmwaterberg - a must for a visit, not far from Swellendam and Witsand - beautiful beach. Lovely walks in the hills around the village.

It is lovely, safe and quiet. Most of the restaurants close at 5pm, so don't expect to eat out at a nice restaurant. Fortunately the guest house we were staying at was spacious and comfortable, and so we made a plan to buy our own food and eat in. But seriously, going out to eat should be an option.

One of the highlights was the sense of peace and tranquillity we felt in this authentic ‘dorp’. The solitude of the town provided a serene backdrop, making our stay truly magical.
Exploring the town and its surroundings was a delightful adventure. Quaint local shops, friendly faces, and the simplicity of life in the Karoo made our stay truly authentic. My list of mandatory places to visit would be Diesel and Crème for their out-of-this-world milkshakes, The House of Books (a paradise for any bibliophile), The Karoo Art Hotel for coffee or a gin and the gorgeous décor and coffee shop ‘Die Langhuis’
This gem on the border of the Karoo has the potential to become an even more coveted destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat in this unique South African landscape.
In summary, our time in this small town was a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of big city life.
We absolutely loved our night at the Karoo Moon Cottage. It is beautifully decorated in a modern take on the old-school Barrydale style (kind of retro chic) - the little touches are quirky and wonderful. We loved the big bed, electric blankets (it was a very cold winter night) and delicious coffee in the morning. Our host's recommendations for dinner and breakfast were also spot on. Everything was perfect! We would definitely recommend this spot for anyone who would like a quiet, comfortable place to themselves when staying in Barrydale.
This is our 4th visit to the Karoo Moon Hotel and we were not disappointed. We love the quirkiness of the rooms, love the bathroom size and layout, the large and comfy bed and comfy lounge and living area. We had more than enough wood to burn a fire for both nights we were there. Coffee pod machine is always appreciated with the strong wifi.
Walking distance to all the restaurants and pubs in town makes it a convenient stop over venue. The host (Dean) was on hand to recommend local spots for the rugby and restaurants to consider.
This is a gorgeous hotel with some of the loveliest hosts. Everything seems effortless, from the excellent breakfasts to the decadent evening meals. The near restaurant, Mez, is an alternative for an evening meal.
The bar is a good place to meet similarly interesting people.
The artwork on display is eclectic and decorates the hotel beautifully.
Lovely garden. Great pool. Nothing not to like.
Uwe and Carol have lovingly cultivated the amazing museum of a house, as well as gorgeous gardens. You could sit on the veranda all day. A short walk to first class restaurant (Mez) and friendly staffed shops. The Africa room has a great private terrace and direct access to two porches. We loved the magpies - and wished the Magpie art gallery had been open when we were there.
Wow! What a great venue to visit. The decor is amazing with all the art on display everywhere. The wall murals are very good and each one tells a story of each of the themed rooms. Sunny, warm and airy with music playing throughout the hotel. Love the old world charm and feel of the hotel and all the friendly, well-trained and helpful staff and owners.
No Breakfast in the deal but went to the local hotel down the road for an excellent breakfast.
The furnishings were excellent . There is also an enclosed fireplace in the lounge area, air conditioner in the bedroom and electric blankets on the huge double bed. It was cold and wet outside so these facilcilities were much appreciated.
Such a charming cottage.
It’s small - only suitable for a couple or close friends who are happy to share a bed (but from memory they do say this) but TOTALLY charming.
Beautiful decor and a lovely swimming pool (that you share with the hosts) and a perfect base to explore Barrydale.
Great location that affords both privacy but also easy access to main street and the roads in and out of Barrydale
The room was clean and well-furnished which was great to come to after a long day's drive. Bertus is a great host who works hard to ensure guests are well taken care of.
Most beautiful well manicured gardens with a spectacular mountain view from room. Friendly and helpful owners. Rooms are comfortable, spacious and beautifully decorated. Easy access to all restaurants and shops and safe parking on on the property. Highly recommended and a 10 from us.
The peace and tranquility of the location on a fruit farm. We loved the walks through the orchards.
Close proximity to town and restaurants. Our host Yvonne was really wonderful and very helpful with local knowledge. The cottage was amazing and well equipped.
Over Karoo Inn is very well located in Barrydale, walking distance to restaurants and shops. The host was so accommodating and friendly. The room is spacious and comfortable. Definitely value for money!!
What a fantastic little boutique hotel. Very friendly and helpful owners and staff. Dinner and breakfast were great. Very comfortable, well appointed room. Quiet at night. Would recommend it to anyone.
Plaas Wegbreek is a lovely farm hidden away from everything just outside of Barrydale. Filled with fruit trees and a gorgeous mountain view, it is quite the experience to stay there!
