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.

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.

It was pieceful and relaxing. It was a good stepping stone for visiting that area of the R62. The hosts were helpful with suggestions for places to visit and for places to eat out.

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!

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.
Perfect location in the heart of Barrydale. Our hosts Uwe and Carel clearly love what they do and where they are and that is contagious. The combination of German precision and the relaxing life and feel in a quaint is pretty special. Time stood still for a while on our way to the KKNK. The coffee and home made pastry on the stoep made us feel so welcome and the recommendation of dinner at the Hotel was a very good one. Barrydale will definitely be our stop over again. Thank you!
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.
We arrived with a lot of excitement and surprisingly left again with the same excitement because everything was to the required expectations and more. We only stayed for a short time after arrival / and left for the Harley-Dale Event at the Karoo Hotel returning late at night for our sleepover. What a pity that we could not spend more time during the day in Barrydale, but we will be back!!!

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.

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
The experience was surreal. The guest house a fantasy.
Breakfast another unique experience.
The garden and surrounds exquisite.
Carel our host was kindness personified
Overall added to our lovely time in Barrydale
Clean and neat, spacious facilities, convenient safe parking with a generator that ensured that we had electricity all the time while the rest of Barrydale suffered from severe load shedding
Room very adequate and lighting far better than most hotels. Bathroom good. Dinner good value at the price for basic cuisine. Charming young new waitress. Breakfast very goood value.
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.
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.
