    Thank you to Mike and Annelie for your warm hospitality. Perfect place for a stopover between Johannesburg and Cape Town. Clean rooms, super comfortable bed and an excellent breakfast. We will definitely visit again and recommend to all our friends and family!

    One of our favorite stays in Colesberg to date. Warm reception, Safe parking, Spacious room with extra space for relaxing on a little lounge set in the room or an outside patio table area. Beautiful garden. Refreshments and toiletries in the room too. They have a quaint little bar and restaurant area, where we had breakfast prepared by the host - delicious. We walked up the road to the restaurant for dinner. Will definitely visit there again.

    Absolutely top notch bang for buck. Clean, very comfortable, great breakfast (optional), friendly. First time back in about 10 years and still my favourite overnight stop on the N1.

    The Barracks is a great example of Karoo hospitality. Comfortable rooms, well appointed bathroom, and friendly and accommodating hosts. The only thing I would change would be to offer some ground coffee and a plunger jug. But a lovely stay, that I'll happily do again.

    I enjoy staying here with the fur kids. They have an enclosed yard to explore and the room is big with a huge bed and 2 singles. Aircon and fans help in the heat if Escom plays ball. A kettle for coffee and bar fridge to keep things cool. A top sheet for the bed was very welcome. Thanks Annelie and Mike.

    Stayed over to break up the trip to Joburg. It gave us an opportunity to explore the town of Colesberg with a morning walk before breakfast, which was great considering another day of driving. The owner contacted us a couple of times during the day to check in on our arrival and advise about load shedding expected, which was thoughtful (and in this day and age - the kind of service that makes a difference). Room was spacious and comfortable, with a lovely en suite, and we certainly enjoy places of character, with old decor and preserved fixtures and fittings.

    This is just an amazing place. Due to traffic we arrived late. But were welcomed with warmth and amazing food. The dinner I ordered was out of this world. Really the most amazing lamb chops I've ever had. The room was stunning. It was warm and cozy even though it was freezing outside. Our cats felt safe and we slept like logs. Excellent customer service, excellent rooms and great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

    A wonderful little spot to stay over or spend a couple of days at. The accomodation is perfect, very comfy and spotless. Surrounded by a picturesque little garden and quaint streets.

    Very relaxing, hospitable hosts. Good pillow selection, comfortable firm mattress, plenty of blankets and means to stay warm and fans and air conditioning to stay cool! Really enjoyed our short stay, and we will definitely be back.

    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.

    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.

  • 5/5 Helena L. 1 year ago on Google
    We were made to feel most welcome. The room was comfortable and clean. A lot of research had gone into providing the history of the Barracks which made very interesting reading.

    Thank you for a lovely overnight stay. Fantastically located not far off the highway, in the quiet streets of Colsburg and walking distance to the best restaurant , Inni Kraal. The rooms where beautifully prepped with the heater and the SA cricket on. In the morning a delicious full cold and hot breakfast! Looking forward to returning when we next travel through with our dogs!

πŸ‘ Driving through the most of Colesberg I was a bit worried about the accommodation I booked online as a stop-over between Johannesburg and Cape Town.

πŸ‘ Right next to the N2. Spacious, affordable and comfortable. Aircon would have helped rather than the water cooler as it was extremely hot, but not much with loadshedding. There is a pool but we did not use it. Felt safe as there was a security guard on patrol all night. Ideal for overnight stay. Rec...
