This is truly an exceptional restaurant. Despite arriving late due to traffic, we were greeted with warmth and served incredible food. The dinner I ordered was absolutely divine—truly the best lamb chops I’ve ever tasted. The ambiance of the room was beautiful; it felt warm and cozy despite the freezing temperatures outside. Our cats felt secure, and we slept soundly. The customer service was outstanding, the rooms were excellent, and the atmosphere was fantastic. I highly recommend this place!

We arrived late as traffic was horrific as trucks kept us to a speed of sometimes only 80 km an hour … we arrived 10.30 pm way past closing time for reception and found our pet friendly cottage cozy , electric blankets. immaculate , car safe behind huge gate our dinner was kept hot and was so yummy after 8 1/2 hours on the road ! thank you to the owners who were friendly helpful caring !

We were warmly welcomed and found the room to be comfortable and clean. It was clear that a lot of effort went into sharing the history of the Barracks, which made for very interesting reading.

The food is the best in the Karoo. Mike and Annelie are perfect hosts. I've stayed at The Barracks on several occasions and never had a complaint.

Love this little gem. The owners went out of their way for us. What wonderful surprise when you see how beautifully it is decorated. Will definately stop over there again.
