“We had a great time — thank you! Lovely atmosphere and everything was thoughtfully done. Felt very comfortable.”

“Great Stay in Colesberg”

I had the perfect stopover at The Barracks on my way to visit my children in Potchefstroom. I absolutely loved the rich history of the beautiful old building — it adds so much character to the stay. The room was spacious, with good quality linen and a lovely, well-appointed bathroom. One of my favourite features was the private outdoor sitting area, surrounded by lush greenery from the garden — such a peaceful and relaxing space. Coffee and tea were provided, which is always appreciated. I also had some frozen food for my children, and the owners were incredibly helpful in offering freezer space in their home — such a kind and thoughtful gesture, thank you! The location is very convenient, close to restaurants. I enjoyed a lovely dinner at Inni Kraal Restaurant, and even as a woman travelling on my own, I felt completely comfortable walking there from the accommodation. I would definitely recommend The Barracks and would happily stay there again.

Friendly and helpful welcome. Stay was comfortable. Despite the rain on our arrival, Mike offered us umbrellas and we were able to walk up the road and enjoy a goid but a little pricy meal.

Awesome hosts

“Convenient location with restaurant just up the road.”

“A beautiful old house in a small country town.”

Spacious room, comfortable bed, great shower and safe parking.

The matress on the bed. All these guest houses in the karoo seem to have foam matresses, I have not found one with a decent matress yet. I wake up multiple times a night with numb areas of my body. And you genuinely want a good night's sleep for the second day driving or it defeats the purpose, you might as well drive straight through and sleep comfortably on a posturpaedic matress when you get there.

“The hosts were super helpful in accommodating me as a solo female traveller with a fully laiden car. Secure parking, com”

“Loved the stay and would recommend.”

The history of the old Barracks was very interesting and gave one the sense of being in an old British barracks. Our hosts were very warm and engaging.

“Excellent lodge”

Communicative, helpful and respectful owners.

“Nice and comfortable.”

Most everything, especially the free bottle of wine.

Location,friendliness, Dean assisted in keeping my stuff in his freezer. He was accommodating.

“Comfortable and convenient.”

The Barracks is a comfortable stop over. It is in easy walking distance to a restaurant. The air con was working well; the beds were comfortable and Mike the host was friendly and helpful. There is secure parking on site. Great value for money.

“Enjoyable stay after a long drive from the Western Cape.”

Great location for an overnight stay and good value for money. Our hosts were onsite and helpful. There is a good restaurant within walking distance.

“Fantastic stay for the night passing through Colesberg.”

Hosts were so wonderful and welcoming. Accommodation was clean, comfortable and cosy. Wine was ice cold :) Restaurants just walking distance from the Barracks. Would definitely recommend this stay to anyone on their way through Colesberg.

Hospitality, helpfulness and the most comfortable sleep in weeks away from home
