did not hAve breakfast. Host was there within 2 minutes of arricval with key. The property was quaint \, neat and tidy set in a beautiful garden out of the main dentre of town with glorious mountain views. Only problem we had , we found the mattress a little soft for our taste

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.
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.
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.
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
Breakfast was excellent - especially the German meat salad. Everything was exceptional - from serving the coffee, showing us how to break an egg with a special "thingi" a heater to keep us warm, beautiful gardens and lovely dogs. Uwe proudly told us how happy they are in Barrydale and sharing their story on how they came about to move from Hamburg to SA, Thank you Uwe, Carel and your friendly staff.
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.
When I opened the door, I felt ashamed for being a solo traveler--this place could hold a big family! This motel has only one room, I was the only guest that day, the restaurant and the motel were together, the meal was so yummy! Words are too pale to describe the experience, see yourself from this short video, started from 1min 52sec.

I can’t say enough good things about this gem of a place. The decor, attention to detail, and general vibe of the Karoo Moon House was incredible. It was a real shame we couldn’t stay longer - it would have been a perfect long weekend. We also really appreciated the little extras that were provided in the house. We would come back to Barrydale just to stay here!
The friendliness of the hostess was lovely. The scenery was outstanding. What was really wonderful was the restaurant and the pleasure of having breakfast which was amazing by the way, on a wood deck overlooking a dam teeming with bird life and watching weaver birds building their nests.
The evening braai was in a great peaceful area just outside the cottage.
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!
What a wonderful spot in the Karoo. Barrydale is worth the visit & if you are, the Karoo Art Hotel surely ranks among one of the best.
The experience from the check in to the pub, to the rooms along with the public areas is amazing.
Relatively close to all the attractions, makes this a joy to stay at.
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.
Beautifully decorated home and garden. Our host, Uwe, was so friendly and helpful with restaurant recommendations and information about Barrydale. We loved the homemade bread offered for breakfast. This is truly a classy place in Rural South Africa.
Great place to get away from the hussle and bustle. Beautifully nestled amongs the mountains and trees of the Bronze Grove Farm. Big farm to hike amd roam around on and its just down the road from Barrydale.
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!!
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.
The location was great. So easy to find and close to the road. Barrydale is so pretty. There is much to see and cute little restaurants and cafés to visit and enjoy.
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.
