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.

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.

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.
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
The facility was clean and comfortable. Lovely garden and lawn in the back flowing down to the river. Lots of shade and protection from wind.
Nice restaurants all around as well as a hotel just down the street.
Dinner at the MUD restaurant was top class.
Owner gave complete instructions about the facility and also restaurants around town.
I would happily got back to the Willows
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.
Couldn’t rate Sanbona any higher. The accommodation and facilities were fantastic, the hotel staff and rangers were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the food menus were always high quality with fresh ingredients. The overall ethos of the reserve is something you can really buy into. Hope to be back again next year!
We are repeat visitors! This unique lodge offers excellent customer service, super friendly staff, and an owner-manager that actively engages with the guests. 5-star appointed rooms with carefully selected pieces of antique furniture create a unique and refreshing Karoo feel. This is the best accommodation in Barrydale!
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.
We were greeted with warmth and care. Communication before we got there was prompt and helpful. Comfortable bed and amenities were all we needed for a one night - a bonus to have a swimming pool. Lovely restaurants just walking distance. A great place to explore Barrydale.
We had a lovely quiet family room for 3 which was perfect for us. We had a quick dip in the heated outdoor hot tub which was fun and an exquisite dinner at Mez karoo kitchen in Barrydale. Had a good sleep and were greeted by a friendly cat and dog in the morning.
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.
Extremely well located on route in the main street, and within easy walking distance of the famous Barrydale restaurants and bric-a-brac shops. The Lodge has recently been taken over, and refurbished, and the owners are both delightful. A great nights rest
Superb service from all the staff without exception. Decor is amazing,.like staying in an art gallery.
Position was also very good and Barrydale locals were also extremely friendly..
Highly recommended..😁😁👍👍
Nice location, very friendly and professional staff . Nice menu , shame sometimes you cannot get everything if it is on a loadshedding slot !
Inventive cuisine and nice breakfast too.
