Description

The Barracks is a fully serviced and licensed guest house, situated in a quiet area of Colesberg, opposite the tennis courts. The establishment has been graded as "Superior" establishment by AA Travel.

The Barracks, so named as the property was used as barracks during the Anglo-Boer War, was built in 1851 and substantially renovated in 2004. The original building was soon augmented by the main house as the owner, David Arnot, was a prolific father and needed plenty of accommodation to house his large family.

The comfortable and spacious double rooms, all with private access, have their own bathrooms, each with a bath and separate shower as well as private patios. They are all fully air conditioned to ensure a comfortable stay no matter what the season is. All rooms have TV’s with M-Net /DSTV - Hotel Bouquet.

The dining room is open for breakfast between 06:30 and 08:30 from October to March and between 07:00 and 08:30 from April to September.

There is 1 parking space per room. No trailers, caravans or boats are allowed.
