The hosts at The Barracks were delightful and very warming. Check-in was incredibly seamless, and the room we stayed in was very cozy. The historic building in which the BnB is located made things even more charming and worthwhile. The accommodation was spacious, well-ventilated, and very comfortable.
The only slight downside is that the WiFi disappeared halfway through the stay and didn't reappear again. Otherwise, things were amazing, including the breakfast that was cooked for us by one of the hosts. Highly recommend this as a place to stay!

The Barracks is an ideal half way stop between the Cape and Gauteng, but be sure to book more than one evening - there is so much to take in in this area. There is also fabulous food available within walking distance of this property. Mike and Annalie are great hosts and the accommodation is top notch.

Lovely place for a night's stay over. Annalie was very accommodating and helpful. Inni Kraal is walking distance to go grab supper so that was a huge bargain.

Old charm in a quiet street in Colesberg. Guests are welcomed by friendly owners Mike en Hannelie. This quest house offer different accommodation types - but unit 6 is for those travelling with dogs. An enclosed courtyard with sufficient shaded areas under old trees. The charm of the old buildings were maintained especially the dining area.

Fully secured garden for peace of mind when 2 tiny yorkies were off leashes. Lots of extra touches for us humans too! Fabulous!
