    A beautiful town with so much to explore.

    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.

    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.

    Outfall clean, spacious, and with everything you could need - thoughtfully set out with information about Barrydale and the surrounding area, a lovely terrace for morning tea/evening wine, a sunny garden with braii, and the actual birdsong and peace and quiet amidst the mountains was fantastic. The bed was so big and incredibly comfy, shower fab and also a wood burning fire for chilly nights. Can’t recommend it more for a peaceful stay.

    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.

    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!

    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 liked literally everything about Sanbona. Gorgeous place with spacious guest apartments. The service is out of this world. Staff is super friendly and accommodating. The rangers were knowledgeable and fun. Food was delicious and they even accommodate gluten and lactose intolerance and allergies.
