Guest Reviews
- Ewert Bohnen (10/5): - Perfect in every sense. Rooms all big and splendidly artful decorations. Comfortable bed. Full kitchen. All amenities. Host gave us lots of tips on things to see and do. Lovely breakfast at Diesel and Cream on the premises at very reasonable prices I'm trying to think of something.... Maybe a bigger coffee plunger
- Andreas (8/5): Ein spezielles Erlebnis mit Relikten aus früherer Zeit. - Ja, war ein spannendes Erlebnis. Kommt uns gerade nichts in den Sinn (ein gutes Zeichen).
- Alison (10/5): Comfortable, central, gorgeous décor! Loved the property. - The property was so beautifully furnished. Everything we needed, central to where we wanted to be. Just a lovely place to stay. There wasn't anything I could find fault with!
- Carla (9/5): Very cozy and comfortable stay. Perfect for couples. Perfect for Winter season. - Stunning decor.
Quality products.
Very cozy with indoor fireplace (which was already started when we got there)
A lot of subtle extra touches that made us feel very at home (coffee pods, milk & water in fridge, juice, fruits) nothing- was such a lovely stay
- João (9/5): -
- Dorothy (8/5): Very comfortable and our host was super helpful and informative. Just great - I liked the quirkiness and spaciousness and the fact that our host contacted us with many ideas of what to do in the area. A lovely touch A bit noisy due to the road traffic

- Ultaco (10/5): - Das Haus ist mit Liebe zum Detail und voll nach dem Vintagestil eingerichtet.
Ganz eigene Atmosphäre! Nichts
- Jürgen (8/5): Das Hotel hält, was es verspricht. - Liebevoll eingerichtetes Apartment. Originelle, gemütliche Einrichtung. Einziger Kritikpunkt: Die Fensterläden im Schlafzimmer lassen sich nicht richtig schließen. Einige Fenster lassen sich zu einfach öffnen.
- ken (10/5): Unique Motel providing excellent value for money. Lovely staff. - Well equipped kitchen and fantastic BBQ facilities outside. Rooms are full of Character. Ten metres from Diesel and Cream Cafe, which serves great food in a funky environment totally in keeping with the Route 62 Genre Nothing
- Bianca (10/5): - schön, geräumig und so kreativ eingerichtet. ein absolutes highlight auf der route 62. alles unkompliziert und das frühstück im diesel & crème ist auch super.

- Silvia (9/5): Nostalgie pur - Kurios eingerichte Wohnung, man fühlt sich in die 60-er Jahre zurück versetzt. Es ist alles da was man benötigt und kommt aus dem staunen nicht heraus Die Terrasse lädt nicht zum verweilen ein, aber sonst ist alles super
- Heini (7/5): -
- Denise (10/5): -
- Claudia (10/5): Amazing place to stay to get a feel of Barrydale - Amazing space that has been beautiful curated. Great location to start your exploring along the main road. Great for an overnight stop or to see the town for a couple of nights like we did.
- Jeroen (10/5): Wat een bijzondere plek. Prachtig ingericht. - Wat een heerlijke plek. Prachtig ingericht met veel aandacht voor details. Je hebt veel ruimte voor jezelf, een zithoek, voorkamer, keuken, slaapkamer, grt gaat maar door. En je stapt de deur uit en jan allerlei lekker eten en drinken bestellen. Top plek. Wat bijzonder. Niets
- Gülsüm (10/5): -
- Michelle (9/5): -
- Guest (8/5): We were on adventure motorcycles and it provided a fantastic base for us to explore the surrounding - The room was well appointed and very comfortable. The accommodation offered excellent value for money, and the 1 meal that we had in the restaurant was very good. Obviously it has to do with the season, but when we were there the restaurant closed at 17:00, not a hardship as there were a number of restaurants within walking distance
- Schotte (9/5): Toller Zwischenstopp an der Route 62 - Sehr interessantes, authentisches Ambiente. An der ein oder anderen Ecke etwas zu viel "Ausstattung", die Bilder sind teilweise Geschmacksache.
- Emma (10/5): -
- Dupontchristophe (10/5): - La tranquillité du lieu et la gentillesse des hôtes Rien, tour était top !
- Ginny (8/5): It was really good. - Loved the quirky decor details, the excellent bed and linen, the shower, the proximity to the other shops on the street.
- Frankie (10/5): A quick overnight stop to show Barrydale to my daughters; but I found that Karoo moment to unwind the mangled supportrod - Beautiful, tranquil place for soul. Should have stayed longer.
- Abrie (10/5): -
- Carrie (9/5): Well catered and perfect getaway lodging - The staff went out of their way to accommodate us. The place had everything that you could possibly need for a quick getaway or just passing through. No pets :-)

- Brigitte (9/5): Spezielle sehr schön dekorierte Unterkunft. Sehr netter Gastgeber. - Sehr bequeme und warme Bettwäsche.
- Mike (10/5): - Quirky old farm cottage with all the mod cons, a comfortable bed and a nice fireplace. Karoo Moon courtesy of a distant streetlight outside the un curtained bedroom window.

- Jane (10/5): Exceptional -
- Heidi (10/5): Exceptional - Rustic yet warm and comfortable
- Deborah (8/5): Snug bed in quirky accommodation - The bed in our room was really fantastic - huge bed with warm down duvet and comfortable pillows, and an electric blanket that was on when we got to the venue. As it was a freezing night, this was really appreciated! The unconventional decor meant that this was certainly no bland hotel room. Lovely apple juice in the fridge and dried figs were a great touch possibly showcasing food from the Klein Karoo. The lights in the small lounge were very dull, so it felt a little gloomy in there (it was a miserable day!).
- Carel (8/5): Friendly and clear instruction on what where and how. Lovely braai outside with enough wood. - Comfortable and warm bed. Clean linen. Lovely shower, easy to find the ideal temperature and it stayed there. I could switch the WIFI off and not fry my brain during the night - can't always do that at other facilities Smoky smell on arrival. I didn't use the fireplace but people should find out exactly how to start the fire to prevent smoke into the room. It could work perfectly
- Hardwicke (10/5): Thank you for a memorable stay. - It had all the home comforts with enough wood to warm the lovely decorated in old style cottage.
- Dm (10/5): Comfortable, cosy and amazing attention to detail! Magic! - What an exceptional spot to find! Visually and aesthetically beautiful, with comfort to match!
- Johan (10/5): Fantastic! - Everything. Gorgeous interior, so well appointed!

- Andrew (10/5): Great place and friendly staff. - Easy check in and check out. Close to restaurants etc. Convenient parking. Very spacious. Kitchenette and lounge areas so plenty of space. Nothing
