My stay at the Karoo Art Hotel felt like a home away from home! From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, friendly, and made me feel genuinely welcome. The hotel has a variety of charming spaces to relax in—whether soaking up the sun on the beautiful stoep, unwinding in the cosy bar, or admiring the exquisite art and stunning furniture arranged throughout. The food was simply outstanding! I enjoyed breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the restaurant, and every meal was top-notch, thanks to the exceptional chef Derek Lowe.
My room was spacious, spotless, and had all the amenities I needed. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the small balcony provided a breathtaking view.
Overall, I absolutely loved my stay and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!
Sanbona Wildlife Reserve is an authentic and contrasting natural space, conveniently located along Route 62, a mere 3.5 hours from Cape Town in the arid Little Karoo.

Barrydale has some quirky little shops, coffee shops and a very interesting African art museum and curio shop.
Everything closes at 4 p.m. along the main road, so the Karoo Art Hotel is a good choice for dinner.
It was nice seeing Barrydale, but it is small enough to do within a couple of hours.

Quaint little town on the well-known Route 62.
Quaint little town on the well-known Route 62. The main activity at the moment seems to be as one enters the town from the east, and the brandy tasting and weaving mills are definitely worth a visit.
The only problem for now is that the main road is being resurfaced, but once this is complete the centre of the town will again be much more attractive. The beautiful surrounding mountains and scenery in the meantime are good compensation, as are several interesting shops. There are also several interesting places to eat.

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.

Loved the setting and the rustic yet comfortable chalet which is very spacious. Zebra, wildebeest and blesbok virtually on your stoep with the magnificent mountain backdrop. Relatively close to Barrydale itself and so quiet at night.
Very cozy rooms. Friendly, accommodating hosts. Great shower! Like a cross between a self catering cottage and a hotel room. perfect for a short stay in Barrydale. Walking distance of restaurants and shops. We recommend it!
Breakfast was very good and location was good. Hotel, itself great decor, outside area and facilities well maintained. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Dinner and atmosphere in the bar/restaurant was vibey.
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
