The guest house is nested within a pear orchard, the architectural features of the house transported one to a foreign country side escape, it was delightful, comfortable, spotless, cool, with the addition of the friendliest Labrador, "twinkle toes", the hosts are friends, most pleasant and very kind, allowing your privacy, highly recommend for a weekend getaway

Spacious rustic villa with breathtaking views! The fact that the jacuzzi is under the roof is also an added bonus especially if you have small children.
Sanbona Wildlife Reserve is an authentic and contrasting natural space, conveniently located along Route 62, a mere 3.5 hours from Cape Town in the arid Little Karoo.

Absolutely everything was amazing about our stay.
When we checked in I was unwell from food (elsewhere) and the team were so attentive which was the start of an amazing trip. With their help I felt much better and was able to enjoy the full experience.
Food & drink provided is of amazing quality.
We stayed in the tents which are exactly as advertised - beautiful views & lovely interior.
The game drives are absolutely surreal. Natural beauty everywhere. We felt completely safe & saw so many gorgeous animals. Our guide Joe was spot on, so knowledgeable and really informed us of conservation issues and purpose of Sanbona.
We were in South Africa on our honeymoon & Sanbona was without a doubt the absolute HIGHLIGHT of the trip.
We still cannot believe how wonderful our stay was.
We were recommend a minimum of 2 days!

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.
Barrydale is a small town with a lot of potential.
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.
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.

Great little town when you turn off the main road and explore a little. Wonderful, friendly people in all the places we visited.
Must visit the Karoo Art Hotel for a great meal, incredible staff and festive atmosphere.

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.

Lovely village.
Lovely village. Not too much choice of restaurants at night but plenty during the day.
Mez open some nights we ate there and it is also our favourite.
The Bistro is also very good and serves well prepared and well presented meals.

Accommodation was quirky and cool.
Accommodation was quirky and cool. I will definitely be back at Karoo Moon Cottage soon!
Had a great dinner with the mother and son run Mez and Karoo Kitchen. The service was outstanding and the changing menu well presented.
The trip over Tradouw Pass was a highlight, with all the waterfalls, after the recent rain.
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.
We where in the Dwyka „Tents“ —- while tent is a most probably the wrong name here. Our tented room was absolutely wonderful. We had enough space in all aspects of our stay. We literally skipped the morning game drive on our last day to enjoy the room a bit longer
The reserve itself is huge and we had very interesting game drives with a very experienced guide.
An absolute must go when in South Africa
This place is amazing! Terry, the host, is so friendly and she created the most stunning guesthouse. It's cosy and stylish. Easygoing and comfortable. If you go here (which you should when going to Barrydale!) book at least 2 nights or longer. Barrydale is an interesting little down with many hidden gems to discover and Terry created a place where you at the same time can slow down and enjoy The Karoo.
It was quaint, elegant, arty. The food was good for a small town hotel.( some out of stock) Staff could have been slightly more visible in inside and outside dining areas( often had to go looking for them)I liked the fires. I liked the bar.I liked the books made available to read.I liked the music.The coffee was good ( super important)The savoury scones were very good.
Staying at the motel is an experience that everyone visiting Barrydale should enjoy, at least once - I would suggest more than just once. Every decor item was thoughtfully curated and made the visit even more special. I had a wonderful short stay and hope to be back!
Absolute gem of a place. Loved everything about the accommodation.
Very neat, clean & tidy.
Bed exceptionally comfortable and spacious.
Loved the decor inside and outside.
We did not need anything.
Appreciated the complimentary juices, milk, coffee, ect.
Barrydale is a beautiful town, and Sandy's Place is well located within the town. It is within walking distance of all the restaurants. The unit was well equipped and comfortable. We had parking right outside our door, which made packing and unpacking easy.
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.
A very comfortable place, which was perfectly clean and nicely decorated. We immediately felt at home. After a good night sleep we had the breakfast at the owners coffee place in a great setting. Recommended when you pass through Barrydale.
Newly renovated. Looks absolutely amazing inside now. The rooms were really clean, spacious and super comfortable. Would have no hesitation recommending this Karoo Lodge to other people.
Very nice guest house with great location in Barrydale, and what makes this standout is the owner who is extraordinary service minded and also very friendly.
the owner is just amazing, what a lovely lady, stunning house, great location, she even booked us in at a great restaurant so that was a great service.
