The little self-contained cottage, Ansie, was extremely well-appointed and tastefully decorated. It had a lovely veranda with a table and chairs, ideal for taking in the surrounding tranquillity. The friendly animals take 'pet friendly' to a whole new level! A perfect place to break up your travels and unwind!

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.

Safe parking outside the house on the pavement, It has an exceptionally beautiful garden. It was fascinating to be in a large period home, with period furniture. Very quiet at night. We had access to the kitchen to make coffee/tea. The rooms with a double bed were very spacious compared to the room with twin beds, There were sitting rooms at the guests' disposal.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Most beautiful well manicured gardens with a spectacular mountain view from room. Friendly and helpful owners. Rooms are comfortable, spacious and beautifully decorated. Easy access to all restaurants and shops and safe parking on on the property. Highly recommended and a 10 from us.
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.
Rustic chic! Decor so beautifully done. Very rustic, but with modern finishes on the important things like bathroom, bedding, towels (all of good quality). Walking distance from all the shops and restaurants in Barrydale
What a fantastic little boutique hotel. Very friendly and helpful owners and staff. Dinner and breakfast were great. Very comfortable, well appointed room. Quiet at night. Would recommend it to anyone.
Everything was picture perfect!
Fantastic place for taking your small dog to! She had the sweetest farmdog friends.
Lots of beautiful walking opportunities on the farm
Close to 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.
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 indoor fire place was so welcome now in winter and the 5* amenities was such a treat. Fun and very very very comfortable. The only place to stay in Barrydale.
We have a 26 year 'relationship' with this hotel. We always loved the quirkiness of the place. We still do enjoy the decor and art exposure. Dinner was good.
