Escape to the Karoo Art Hotel this December for a unique festive getaway, where art, comfort, and countryside charm create an unforgettable experience.
How we found the Karoo Art Hotel, Barrydale
How a chance visit during an offroad motorbike trip lead to a life changing purchase made on a whim
I arrived on a motorbike. Six months ago. I was with a group of friends on adventure bikes out of Capetown . Our focus being the Cederburg and the Tankwa Karoo. But on the way home we’d booked into a hotel I hadn’t heard of in a village I’d never visited; The Karoo Art Hotel, Barrydale. It was a Friday afternoon. As we drew up to the hotel my attention was drawn by a banner on the wall; ‘Hotel auction Wednesday’.
We never attended the auction but called Derek the Chef after it was over to find out what had happened.
"Nothing happened, no body came, no one called" came back the reply. It wasn't long before Sue and I plus Charlie, Zoe and Derek were sitting in the breakfast room. One thing lead to another and we're now the owners of The Karoo Art Hotel, Barrydale
