After a long drive from Paarl we were warmly welcomed by Leon. Our room overlooking the garden was fitted out with all one might require. Sadly we missed the in house bar experience as we returned a little late and didn't make enough noise to alert Leon. What a view from the front door. The garden at the rear is... More

I have stayed here 3 times on visits to South Africa. It is very cosy and rustical. The owners make you feel so at home and it is certainly good value for money. Nice Garden for sunbathing, and dont forget to ask to meet Priscilla the pet pig.

It's not the first time that we, and our brood, have stayed at Tradouw. And each time we've had an excellent stay, wishing it was longer. Leon and Denis offer excellent, good old fashioned South African hospitality in the quaint and rather eccentric town of Barrydale. Behind the guest house, a living museum of vintage objects (owners excluded :), is... More

We had a great time at Tradouw Guesthouse. We had the place to ourselves and were made to feel very welcome by Leon. The bar is a little gem and the fireplace is very cosy. The rooms are comfortable and Dennis serves a decent breakfast. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone travelling through Barrydale!!

Great guest house in lovely town. Owners Leon and Dennis are very friendly and attentive. Rooms are comfortable and garden beautiful. Breakfast is superb, served in lovely vine covered courtyard. Barrydale is a lovely stop over point if you are travelling on the R62 and the Tradouw Guest House a must.

An incredibly peaceful and tranquil guesthouse with such friendly and helpful hosts. There are beautiful natural pools to swim in close by and some good places to hike. We had the friendliest reception from Leon who pointed us the right direction for things to do. Breakfast was lovely, the garden looked and smelled amazing and you'd be hard pushed to... More

Once again, I got to stay in Leon and Dennis' old-world guesthouse in Barrydale. This charming and uber friendly place is a perfect stop to enjoy the Karoo. The historical house has basic, comfortable rooms that bring back memories of family road trips. Leon and Dennis treat their guests with ease and friendliness so that you always feel welcome and...
