50 guests' feedbackBeautifully designed and spacious cottage with a lovely view and two wonderful patios. It is also within walking distance of the shops & restaurants along the R62. Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful stay at Inkaroo. The owner was lovely, respectful, and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend and will be making a return soon!
Lovely fireplace for cool evenings. The best shower. Beautifully decorated with beautiful mountain views in the front and back of the house, with table seating on both sides. Definitely worth a stay!
If I have to complain about anything, it's the wine glasses. There were only 3 and none looked like the others.
We had a great stay at InKaroo Cottage! My two dogs also enjoyed it very much. The house is very nice and tidy and contains everything one needs. It is also nice that the cottage is walking distance from most places in Barrydale.
Welcomed by a friendly host - fireplace going most of the weekend - suited for a family of 4.
No power on the meter when I arrived at 2pm. I let the owner know in advance when I would be there. He only came to charge power units at 17:30. The place is not 100% clean and the braai and grill are very dirty.
I will never visit Inkaroo again, the owner is so unfriendly and impatient and who knows what. Because we were an hour late due to of the Sunday morning service we attended, the owner was so so unfit, really, of all the people I have met in my life, I have never come across such an individual. I'd rather book somewhere else than there if I'm ever in Barrydale again.
Well located. Walking distance to everything with a nice view of the town and the mountains.
Perfect home for a nice winter getaway. Walking distance from everything. Lovely fireplace.
Love the decor! The host is friendly and helpful. We will definitely return. InKaroo is central and set in nature. We loved the decor and the fireplace was a gem! The host was friendly and helpful.
Personally, I would like to see better in terms of safe parking - parking is off street only with no security or shade.
It's a nice place to visit but quite cold for the winter. The downstairs room and bathroom are freezing cold. Rather sleep upstairs in the loft section. At least the fireplace is a big plus because it also heats the upper sleeping area. Also take your own milk as there is none, just some powdered coffee and sugar.
The bed is too small and the duvet insufficient.
Great comfortable house. Lovely fireplace and great host.
Safe, spacious home with beautiful view. Well equipped, although WiFi is not available. Walking distance from tourist attractions.
Excellent location and clean accommodation. Would only recommend putting air conditioners or fans in the house. Due to the type of windows, venters cannot be made up at night due to security and mosquitoes. Also good value for money.
The most beautiful views and peaceful atmosphere. It was our third time staying there and it continues to be nice. Too bad the WiFi disappeared.
Inkaroo Cottage is a comfortable and well-furnished house where you can relax wonderfully. The large porch with the beautiful view over the town and mountains is a winner.
We visited on a very cold weekend, but when we got there the fireplace was already on and the wood was more than enough for the weekend. Had a quiet time with family and friends and got away from all the noise. We will stay here again on our next visit to Barrydale.
The Inkaroo Cottage is excellently designed and well equipped. Only problem was the gas stove which lolled a bit. However, Danny brought us a new gas bottle early in the morning, thank you!
A very pretty Karoo cottage. If you are looking for a peaceful setting overlooking Barrydale, this is the place to go.
We stayed here on 2 occasions with our toddler and dog, and everyone had a great time. Walking distance to restaurants and grilled cake and coffee at the Ruth 62 Market which is probably a 2 minute walk away at toddler pace. The WiFi didn't work, but hey, maybe not being on the internet while in Barrydale is a good thing!
What a beautiful cottage with all the comforts of home. Beautiful, peaceful, quiet and great value for money. Loved the view from the stoep and the fireplace inside which is great for those cold nights. Was also great meeting the owner himself and spending time with him. We had a great weekend and will certainly be back soon. Will recommend this cottage to anyone.
It is private, clean and comfortable. Would recommend to anyone anytime.
The cottage is located in a quiet street and easy to reach. One immediately feels at home in the calm and artistic interior. The bed is incredibly comfortable with top quality white bedding. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to prepare your own food. Fantastic, hot shower and an enormous bath to relax in. We sat on the front porch for hours and enjoyed the beautiful view. The owner is friendly and helpful and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed - he also informed us about local artists performing during our stay. We will definitely stay at Inkaroo Cottage again!
I am absolutely in love with Inkaroo! What a magical place to stay. A spacious, neat and tidy farmstyle cottage which is surprisingly cool inside stepping in from the Karoo heat. Great accommodation, well fitted kitchen with every utensil you could need, gas stove and microwave. Spacious bedroom with a super comfy bed with hotel style linen, a little walk in closet and lovely country style bathroom. Endless hours were spent reading and drinking wine on the large stoep while admiring the beautiful view of town and the hills beyond. The back garden sits on the foot of a hill and gives spectacular mountain views with a lovely seating area near the braai to eat at. We were lucky to spot a troop of baboons, beautiful birds and have the welcome company of the owners Collie, Coda and a very vocal black and white cuddly cat. We can not wait to go back, Dan the owner was a wonderful, yet unimposing host. Everything about Inkaroo is relaxing and makes you sad to leave. We have visited many small towns and stayed in many guesthouses and self-catering and this one was by far one of my favourites. Already planning our next visit!
It is an ideal place to sleep. The service was fantastic and the house very comfortable. The house is equipped with everything needed for an overnight stay and within walking distance of a lot of places to visit. Very nice stay!
Beautiful place with everything that you need. The host was very friendly and helpful.
Lovely house, nice central you can walk to the restaurants, etc. on Route 62, but it is also located on the mountain so the view both sides of the house is very beautiful. In front of you you look out on the village and behind you are the mountains. Very quiet; beautiful town. Everything you need in the house, even firewood for free.
I fell in love with the beautiful place. Nothing fancy, but comfortable and peaceful. Will definitely come again.
Very nice and tidy with a peaceful atmosphere.
Excellent for a weekend break. Walking distance from most restaurants.
We thoroughly enjoyed it.
We enjoyed it very much.
Lovely cottage, beautiful setting, comfortable bed and huge bathroom, basic amenities in kitchen, pet-friendly though no perimeter barrier. No burglar-proofing (and no safe), but Barrydale seems to have a low crime-rate. No television (great for some of us), dodgy internet connection (so I was told, although I didn't use it). The cottage is pleasantly decorated, but needs a bit of help: a door that doesn't close, blinds that are frayed, etc. Minor issues, but they affect the overall experience. There is an "upstairs" over the kitchen, which looked as if it hadn't been cleaned or the linen changed after the previous guests. Not a problem for me, but it might be for others.
A beautiful cottage that does not fulfill everything as promised per advertisement: It is located next to the cemetery. Dirty underwear found in drawer. Several lights were blown. Shower was dirty. No Wi-Fi.
There is no bowls to make salad, there is dog poo everywhere. The braai area has ash piling up and has not been cleaned out. Was not a pleasant stay at all.
Perfect place for a relaxing 2 night stay, walking distance to everything there is to see in Barrydale. Kids loved it. Would definitely recommend.
Beautiful, well-equipped Karoo cottage with an incredible view!
We wish we could come and stay for a week!
Beautiful, neat, clean and spacious house! I would definitely stay here again when I'm in Barrydale!
Very nice stay, tranquil area, a lot of firewood, warm fireplace and a nice house.
A good stop on your trip to the Klein Karoo or on the way back.
There isn't much to do in Barrydale, but it's a nice place to just wind down.
Inkaroo Cottage has a lovely location - walking distance from restaurant, view of the town and in a very quiet little street. You can hear the traffic on the R62 from the front porch. The fireplace was a prerequisite and it worked well.
Inkaroo Cottage is really nicely and stylishly furnished. However, the price does not offer value for money. The doors and windows don't close tightly so you get a cold as a gift. The gas stove didn't work - the gas was out! We just had to heat water in a microwave oven. Please cut the grass outside - it creates a poor impression of an otherwise very nice cottage. A signpost to Inkaroo Cottage from Route 62 main road would be welcome. If the host tells you in the second sentence that you still owe R450 and you have already paid in full more than a month in advance and received confirmation, it bothers you. For R900 per night there really could have been at least a television and a 2017 magazine or two. The nice warm fireplace on arrival at least left my family with a nice warm feeling. We will stay overnight in Barrydale again, but preferably somewhere else.
One can really rest here. Well-equipped, clean, good location and everything that one would need is here. My only 'regret': Why did we only stay here for 2 nights? Can recommend it any day and will definitely be back again.
It was exactly what I expected and I was 100% satisfied. Will do it again!
