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.

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.
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.
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!!!
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.

Birdsong was our favorite accomodation during our South Africa trip. A comfortable and spacious cottage with all the comforts of home makes Birdsong a perfect place from which to explore Barrydale. The host was wonderful...ensuring we were happy at Birdsong and providing lots of great ideas for enjoying Barrydale.
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.
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.
The cottage is a true gem and beautifully decorated and Teri's hospitality and warm welcome is beyond words. Barrydale is a lovely little town. We enjoyed every minute of our 2 night stay and wished we could have stayed longer. We will be back for sure.
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.
Highly recommend this lodge. Location super, great rooms - spotless, elegant, comfortable, generous size. The Lodge has a lovely art collection. Breakfast was great - muesli, fruit etc as well as full English breakfast. Fell in love with Barrydale.
Great getaway from the hustle and bustle. Barrydale and surrounding towns have plenty of exploration options.... Or you can just sit in front of the fireplace with a good book. Farm is peaceful with plenty of hiking trails and beautiful dogs.
The experience was surreal. The guest house a fantasy.
Breakfast another unique experience.
The garden and surrounds exquisite.
Carel our host was kindness personified
