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.

    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.

    The owners are friendly and warm, and most helpful - nothing was too much effort. The room is spacious and comfy - loved the info. books on the Barrydale area! Ian was happy to oblige when we asked about a braai - even supplying the charcoal, and Ella was gracious in allowing us to use her freezer for our ice-packs. The bathroom is ample, we enjoyed the shower and extra large towels! I would have appreciated a net curtain for privacy when using the facility during the day (same goes for the bedroom). Ian was understanding in this regard.

    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.

    This is our 4th visit to the Karoo Moon Hotel and we were not disappointed. We love the quirkiness of the rooms, love the bathroom size and layout, the large and comfy bed and comfy lounge and living area. We had more than enough wood to burn a fire for both nights we were there. Coffee pod machine is always appreciated with the strong wifi. Walking distance to all the restaurants and pubs in town makes it a convenient stop over venue. The host (Dean) was on hand to recommend local spots for the rugby and restaurants to consider.

    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

    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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dq0n9AaJRjU&t=8s

    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!
