The property was lovely overall and the room was old and had antique charm. But it was cold and all I had in a large suite was a small fan heater. My room was full of old colonial era photos - not something I particularly appreciate and for that reason alone I will not stay there again. Dinner at the in-house restaurant was an attempt to be fancy with limited options, but I think it missed the mark and was quite overpriced. Breakfast was also quite limited and did not cater for varied dietary requirements. ##### Hussein Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Unique, very friendly and personal We unfortunately only spent one night in this fabulous hotel, but we definitely plan to return!

It is old, floors are creeky and it has no air conditioning. Shower and sink were obviously added later to the rooms. To that I say ‘who cares!’ This place is awesome. So beautiful, so cool. The art is great, the property is great, the staff is super friendly and helpful. Last night the hotel bar and restaurant were both full and everyone was having a good time.

Lobby, Library and Bar are equipped with great stylish furniture and fantastic pictures and other art. Staff is really friendly and supportive. The best is the menu, the taste and presentation of the food - would not expect that such a chef serves guests at such a remote place. At this place we had the best breakfast ever during our two weeks trip in ZA. A first world issue is that the WIFI is not that stable. As we were travelling as a family it was disappointing that our daughter had to sleep on the floor on a mattress - this does not suit to such a fantastic hotel with all the above mentioned great impressions. ##### Andreas ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keith Apr 3, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Holiday Joy and Famly Fun A very unique hotel and a wonderful experience. The art is amazing and there are lots of comfortable spots to sit and read or just relax. the food is excellent. Unfortunately, the Springbok pie pastry was chewy as it was probably warmed in a microwave oven, which is such a pity. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1426-pd6cc3b30-3720-11e8-90f5-02426f8ac431-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1530-pd60e4260-3720-11e8-90f5-02426f8ac431-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s4-p750de220-3722-11e8-90f5-02426f8ac431-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s525-pd507a7d0-3720-11e8-90f5-02426f8ac431-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Keith ### 8/10 Good #### Nancy Mar 5, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Overall lovely, couple of areas for improvement Amazing place and lovely staff. It’s a real experience. The standard rooms are very basic with a shower in the room. The superior rooms are lovely (wish they had a fridge) but overpriced I felt. The breakfast is great. The restaurant food is slightly hit and miss and promises more than it delivered. The pool area is beautiful and there is a (slightly neglected) kids area. ##### Nancy Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### wazza, townsville Mar 3, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Off the beaten track The hotel is a step back in time. If you are looking for a luxury hotel then this isn’t for you. If you want a comfy bed, great meal and outstanding service then the the Karoo art hotel fits the bill. We really enjoyed our night here, in fact we wish we had more time and could have stayed longer. It’s not 5 star but it had everything we needed and just the drive to get there was worth the stay. ##### wazza Stayed 1 night in Feb 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Tilman Feb 26, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great service, cool people, nice and very cozy atmosphere. ##### Tilman ### 8/10 Good #### Howard Jun 28, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The restaurant was closed at the time (off season) of our stay which was disappointing. This was not disclosed at the time of booking. ##### Howard Stayed 1 night in Jun 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark May 2, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Barrydale Karoo Art Hotel Barrydale is an incredibly relaxed and beautiful town. The Karoo Art Hotel is one of the most interesting and friendly hotels I have ever stayed in, both in South Africa and abroad. The Bistro is an excellent pub, just across the road from the hotel, and Country Pumpkin, Coco's and Diesel & Crème as "must be" place to visit, along with Barrydale Celars. ##### Mark ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Touws-River-Hotels-Aquila-Private-Game-Reserve-Spa.h6347327.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Casino Royale - Center Strip](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Casino-Royale-Center-Strip.h3447481.Hotel-Information) > > [Thorn & Feather (Vermaaklikheid)](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermaaklikheid-Hotels-Thorn-Feather.h61102048.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in East York](https://www.expedia.ca/East-York-Toronto-Hotels.0-n59236-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Mafigeni Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Gravelotte-Hotels-Mafigeni-Safari-Lodge.h3954755.Hotel-Information) > > [Super 8 by Wyndham Niagara Falls by the Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-Niagara-Falls-By-The-Falls.h20065069.Hotel-Information) > > [Finest Playa Mujeres by The Excellence Collection - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Sam-Hotels-Finest-Playa-Mujeres-By-The-Excellence-Collection-All-Inclusive.h8673168.Hotel-Information) > > [Iberostar Waves Cozumel - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cozumel-Hotels-Iberostar-Cozumel-All-Inclusive.h889873.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Destin](https://www.expedia.ca/Destin-Hotels.d6906.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Baker Creek By Basecamp](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Louise-Hotels-Baker-Creek-Mountain-Resort.h7710611.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Polokwane](https://www.expedia.ca/Polokwane-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Polokwane.h17771611.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Kitchener (YKF) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ykf/yyc/kitchener-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Rome (FCO) to Tel Aviv (TLV)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/fco/tlv/rome-to-tel-aviv) > > [Lufthansa](https://www.expedia.ca/Lufthansa-Flights.cLH.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Houston (IAH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/iah/vancouver-to-houston) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Munich (MUC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/muc/edmonton-to-munich) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Mumbai (BOM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/bom/toronto-to-mumbai) > > [Flights from Tocumen (PTY) to Mexico City (MEX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/pty/mex/panama-city-to-mexico-city) > > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to NYC-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/nyc/toronto-to-new-york) ### Cars ### Activities > [Things to do in Port Coquitlam](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Port-Coquitlam.d9374.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages ### Vacation Rentals ### General
