Welcoming hostess and comfortable stay.

The rooms are charming, beds comfortable and water hot. Everything a traveler needs! The optional breakfast was amazing and good value for money.

Oor die algemeen het ons lekker geslaap.

Ons het lekker gebly, daar is net 'n paar goed wat my verhoed om weer daar te gaan bly, onder andere die inkomstyd van 9 nm. Alles word toegesluit. Die gasvrou maak dit duidelik dat sy na 9 nm nie meer daar gaan wees nie, en maak geen voorsiening vir die onvoorsiene nie.

Overall we slept well.

We had a great stay, there are only a few things that prevent me from staying there again, among them the arrival time of 9 pm. Everything is locked. The hostess makes it clear that she will no longer be there after 9 pm, and makes no provision for the unforeseen.

Uitgerus om die pad weer aan te durf!

Ons het lekker gebly in 'n skoon netjiese kamer - heerlike warm water en skoon handdoeke. Ons motor kon op 'n veilige plek staan en die gasheer was baie vriendelik en het goeie aanbevelings gemaak vir aandete.

Skoon beddegoed, maar beslis nie goeie waarde vir geld nie.

Die skoon wit beddegoed was omtrent die toppunt van ons kuier! Die badkamer is ook skoon, netjies en relatief modern. Die kamer het geruik asof daar honde gebly het, en dit het ook nie baie skoon vertoon nie. Die plek is oud en afgeleef en sal definitief 'n paar lae verf nodig hê om opgekikker te word. Parkering is agter die gebou, so jy moet jou bagasie self die hele pad tot by jou kamer dra - dit is aanvaarbaar vir jong mense soos ons, maar sal definitief nie vir ouer mense geskik wees nie. Die beste deel van ons verblyf was die uitstekende restaurant Inni Kraal, sowat 200m verder op die pad. Dit is binne loopafstand en veilig in die aand.

Clean bedding but definitely not good value for money.

The clean white bedding was about the pinnacle of our visit! The bathroom is also clean, tidy and relatively modern. The room smelled like dogs had stayed in it, and it didn't look very clean either. The place is old and tired and will definitely need a few coats of paint to freshen it up. Parking is behind the building, so you have to carry your luggage all the way to your room yourself - this is acceptable for young people like us, but definitely not suitable for older people. The best part of our stay was the excellent restaurant Inni Kraal, about 200m further up the road. It is within walking distance and safe in the evening.

The Barracks 's response

Dear Cizelle,

The Guest House dates back to 1851, so yes it is old and we like to keep it that way with no modern bling.

Our aim is to please, we will look into what you've mentioned.

We like Inni Kraal Restaurant (it's a magical place).

Regards,
Mike

Warm and dry bed on a long road.

The bed and towel were clean and good quality but the rest of the room appeared old and worthless. There were 3 of us and we had to book 2 rooms. In the city, we got a modern and tidy room that could sleep three for the same price. It just doesn't feel like value for money.

Aangename verblyf met uitstekende Karoo-maaltye.

Soos gewoonlik het The Barracks nie teleurgestel nie. Dit bly steeds 'n prima verblyfinstelling in Colesberg met 'n wenresep vir oornagreisigers en 'n regte Karoolam-aandete.

The Barracks is 'n goeie voorbeeld van Karoo-gasvryheid. Gerieflike kamers, goed ingerigte badkamer en vriendelike en tegemoetkomende gashere. Dit is binne stapafstand van 'n paar goeie restaurante, en die volgende oggend is jy sommer binne 'n paar minute terug op die N1.

Hartlike en vriendelike ontvangs. Kamer, badkamer en agterplaas kort 'n deeglike skoonmaak en instandhouding.

Gasheer en gasvrou vriendelik. Kamer en badkamer vuil. Uitgebreide laag van swart alge in badkamer. Oppervlaktes waaraan gaste moet raak (deure en skakelaars) met taai stoflaag bedek. Sigbare stoflaag op teëls en houtlyste. Nagrus versteur deur helder eksterne lig wat by venster bokant deur inskyn (die kantgordyn is te klein en keer nie skerp lig nie). Badkamerlig bly ure aan nadat 'n mens dit afskakel en skyn op bed as 'n mens gaan slaap. Dit skyn ook verby kante van die toe deur. Te min plek om persoonlike items neer te sit. Kamer baie naby straat geleë.

Bathroom light stays on hours after one turns it off and shines on bed when one goes to sleep. It also shines past sides of the closed door. Too little space to put down personal items.

The Barracks 's response

Dear Annamie,

• There was mould build up above the shower due to the steam that the extractor fan should have managed, this has subsequently been scrubbed and treated with Borax.
• The bathroom light is one of those battery type lights that stay on if there is loadshedding.
• We can do nothing about the room being close to the road, we are one street back of the main road opposite Colesberg Tennis Club.
• The light that would have been shining above your room is a solar light that lights up the pathway at night and helps when there is loadshedding. We could possibly look at moving this elsewhere.
• Space for personal belongings is a tricky one. We do have a wardrobe for hanging items and then floor space for bags, cooler boxes etc.

It is not the norm and we sincerely apologize for the way you felt. We have taken an adult and honest assesment of the situation and would like to offer you a future stay when travelling the N1 next.

Regards
Mike & Annalie King

Salige oase van stilte en rus.

Ons het een nag oorgeslaap. Tydens 'n vorige oorslaapgeleentheid in Colesberg kon ons skaars slaap weens die geraas vanaf die N1. Hierdie kamer was heelnag heerlik stil - 'n kombinasie van die dik, ou mure en die ligging onder die heuwel, dink ek. Eskom het natuurlik die krag afgesit, maar die eienaars het die elektrisiteit aangevul, wat beteken het die ligte het aangebly. Omdat ons eers laatmiddag sou aankom, het die eienaar vroeg al die lugversorging aangesit, sodat ons kamer warm kon wees vir die koue nag. Die beddegoed was van goeie gehalte en ons het baie gemaklik oorgebly. Ons motor kon agter 'n geslote hek parkeer. Definitief 'n veilige en goeie keuse vir oorslaap.

Blissful oasis of silence and rest.

We slept over one night. During a previous sleepover event in Colesberg we could hardly sleep due to the noise from the N1. This room was wonderfully quiet all night - a combination of the thick, old walls and the location down the hill, I think. Eskom of course turned off the power, but the owners topped up the electricity, which meant the lights stayed on. Because we wouldn't arrive until late afternoon, the owner turned on the air conditioning early, so that our room could be warm for the cold night. The bedding was of good quality and we had a very comfortable stay. Our car could park behind a locked gate. Definitely a safe and good choice for an overnight stay.

Ons het met ons groot hond puik verblyf gekry. Hy het sy eie "erf" gehad waar hy kon bene rek.

Hierdie was nie die eerste keer dat ons by The Barracks oorgeslaap het nie.

Hierdie is ons halfweg stop tussen Gauteng en die Wes-Kaap. The Barracks voel soos huis-weg-van-huis. Die ontvangs is altyd vriendelik en gasvry. Ons word gekontak op die dag wat ons gaan oorslaap om seker te maak hoe laat hulle ons kan verwag en of daar enigiets is wat hulle vir ons kan voorberei. Gerieflike kamers en uitstekende diens. Sal beslis weer daar oorslaap.

This was not the first time we had stayed at The Barracks.

This is our halfway stop between Gauteng and the Western Cape. The Barracks feels like a home away from home. The reception is always friendly and hospitable. We are contacted on the day we are going to sleep over to make sure what time they can expect us and if there is anything they can prepare for us. Comfortable rooms and excellent service. Will definitely stay there again.

Baie gerieflik.

Ek is hartlik verwelkom en vriendelik rondgewys. Die kamer was baie netjies, skoon en pragtig versier. Alles wat ek moontlik kon benodig is voorsien, selfs muskiet-afweerder, vir ingeval hulle mens sou pla. Die bed was baie gemaklik en ek het werklik lekker uitgerus na 'n lang dag se ry. Die badkamer het 'n lieflike hoekbad wat ek so geniet het. Ek stel The Barracks voor aan enige reisiger.

The bathroom has a lovely corner bath which I enjoyed so much. I recommend The Barracks to any traveler.

Linne goed. Kamers en badkamers ruim. Gasheer vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Ons het lekker hier oornag. Geen probleme. Ek sal net aanbeveling maak dat die struike en bome bietjie gesnoei word, indien dit nie al gedoen is nie, by die paadjie voor die kamers. Lyk so mooi en gee rustige atmosfeer maar die hang te laag, veral die manne moet gebukkend loop.

We had a nice stay here. No problems. I would only recommend that the bushes and trees be trimmed a bit, if this has not already been done, by the path in front of the rooms. Looks so beautiful and gives a peaceful atmosphere but the slope is too low, especially the men have to walk stooped.

Well recommended. The Barracks really makes an effort to ensure comfort and privacy

Friendly and personal welcome at arrival. The Barracks really makes an effort to ensure comfort and privacy. Own secure parking. The rooms are very comfortable with good beds, a spacious clean bathroom and above all very quiet. Far away from all the traffic on the N1. For dinner we chose the on-site restaurant. And were served a 3 course 'boerekos' meal, prepared by the lady of the house. While her husband lit a fire in the dining room filled with antiques. Really very homely and the food tasted particularly nice. The lamb chops were delicious and crispy. The chocolate bomb for dessert was a real treat. The breakfast in the morning was extensive, with delicious fresh ingredients. Very helpful hosts who also helped us with printing documents before departure. They waved us goodbye personally. A very charming and pleasant B&B where we would like to stay again. Well recommended!

Behalwe vir onverwagte onkoste en as jy klaar parkeer het kan jy nie weer ry nie was dit heel skaflik.

Vriendelike diens. Baie outyds (persoonlike opinie) maar is redelik skoon.

Redelik.

Bad, wasbak en stort gordyn kan doen met bietjie skoonmaak. Daar is baie potensiaal in hierdie gastehuis maar die fyner punte faal. Hulle het 'n historiese gebou en kan daarop voortbou deur bv. die krane ens te "brasso". Dit was immers offisiers menasie gedurende boereoorlog.

Reasonable.

Bath, sink and shower curtain could do with some cleaning. There is a lot of potential in this guest house but the finer points fail. They have a historic building and can build on it by e.g. the taps etc. too "brasso". After all, it was officers' menagerie during the Boer war.

A lovely short stay.

Met by host on the street as I rode slowly past, uncertain of where I was. Safe parking sorted, shown room and all that was necessary to find my way around. Large, clean, pleasant room and en-suite. Air con to heat and cool. Wi-Fi. Host pointed out restaurant close by where I could dine after my journey. A good night's sleep on a good mattresses and bedding. The hosts prepared the breakfast themselves on a Sunday morning which was a nice touch as was the full breakfast. A pleasant stay.

Ou plekkie, maar beslis die moeite werd.

Het oornag by die Barracks. Die gashere is ongelooflik vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die plekkie is bietjie oud, maar baie netjies en skoon. Ons het heerlik gemaklik geslaap. Die ontbyt was heerlik en mens kry individuele aandag. Die Alaskan Malamute was die dierbaarste hond uit en my dogtertjie heel verlief op haar. Ek sal hulle beslis aanbeveel. Warm en goeie mense!

Mike en sy vrou het 'n wonderlike, troeteldiervriendelike gastehuis.

Ek en my gesin (en honde) wil baie baie dankie sê vir Mike en sy vrou se heerlike, gerieflike en gasvrye gastehuis op Colesberg. Die Barracks is ideaal geleë,en die veilige privaat binnehof, skitterskoon gastehuis en uitstekende diens maak dit die perfekte oornagblyplek. Mike het ons help parkeer in 'n toesluitarea vir ons motor en sleepwa, 'n welkom-sjerrie aangedra en selfs 'n ekstra slot-en-sleutel beskikbaar gestel. Op sy aanbeveling het ons heerlik geëet op in die straat by sy vriend Nick se restaurant. Die kamer het slaapplek vir 4 persone en was uiters gemaklik. Baie, baie dankie Mike, sien jou eersdaags weer.

Mike helped us to park in the locked area for our car and trailer, gave us some sherry, and even an extra lock and key. He recommended his friend Nick's restaurant in the same streat - the food was delicious. The room accommodates 4 people and it was very comfortable. Thanks so so much Mike, you will see us again.

Ons was verwelkom by ons motor deur die eienaar. Ons het 'n heerlike 3-gang-maaltyd gehad in die ou huis. Kamer en badkamer is minimalisties mooi. Ons sal beslis weer daar bly in die toekoms!

'n Uitstekende oornagbestemming.

Die vriendelikheid en professionele manier waarop ons getrakteer is, is beslis prysenswaardig. Michael die eienaar het selfs voor ons daar aangekom het ons gebel om uit te vind hoe dit met ons gaan en hoe laat ons daar sal aankom. Van daar af tot ons vertrek het, is ons op die hande gedra met egte plattelandse gasvryheid wat dit 'n unieke en onvergeetlike ondervinding gemaak het.

An excellent overnight destination.

The kindness and professional manner in which we were treated is certainly commendable. Michael the owner even called us before we got there to find out how we were doing and what time we would get there. From there until we left, we were treated with genuine country hospitality which made it a unique and unforgettable experience.

Nie net 'n halfpad oorslaap plek nie.

Ons het die verblyf by The Barracks aangenaam gevind. Ons het van die aandete opsie gebruik gemaak, en die ete en wyn goeie waarde vir geld gevind. Selfs my tiener seuns het genoeg geëet! Ons kamer was reeds heerlik warm gemaak toe ons in die winters middag daar aankom. Alles was mooi skoon en netjies. Ons was op pad tussen Gauteng en Knysna, en het daarom beplan om sommer weer vroeg te ry. Die aangename, rustige, huislike atmosfeer het ons oortuig om rustig op te staan, ontbyt te eet en dan weer verder te gaan. Ek kan vir seker sien dat ek hier meer as een nag sal kan oorslaap. Vir ons persoonlike smaak het die blinders in die kamer, asook die venster bo die deur heeltemal te veel lig ingelaat om behoorlik te kon donker maak vir 'n goeie nagrus.

Not just an overnight spot.

We loved our stay at The Barracks. We booked dinner and found the food and wine to be great value for money. The portions was even big enough for my teenaged boys! Wonderful warm room when we arrived on a winter's afternoon. Everything beautiful and neat. We were on our way between Gauteng and Knysna, so we had plans to leave early the next morning. But the calm, home atmosphere compelled us to get up on our time and have brekafast before we hit the road again. I can definitely see myself spending more thatn just the night here. We found the blinds and the window above the door unable to block out the light sufficiently for a good night's rest.

Mike en Annalie ontvang jou met aankoms in egte plattelandse gasvryheid met glasie sjerrie en lemoensap. Goeie diens, ontbyt heerlik.

Baie veilige plek met vriendelike diens.

Die oornag op roete vanaf Kaap na Gauteng is gemaklik met baie ruimte in die kamers en badkamers. Die stoep voor die kamers asook die pragtige plantegroei maak dit baie privaat vanaf die straat. Die geskiedkundige gebou is werklik baie goed onderhou met die basiese toegerus. TV en alles was in werkende toestand en die bestuurder van die plek baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Die parkering is weg vanaf die pad en ons fietse was veilig agter op die trailer. Die aandete asook die kospakkies wat ons vir ontbyt bestel het was goed voorberei en voorgesit. Veral die mans het die aandete baie geniet na die lang dag op die pad.

Very safe place with friendly service.

This overnight stay en route to Cape Town is comfortable with loads of space in the rooms and bathrooms. The veranda outside the room and the beautiful plant life makes it very private and removed from the street. The historical building is really very well looked after and equipped with all of the basics. TV and everything else is in working order and the manager was so friendly and helpful. Parking is off the street and our bikes were safe on the back of the trailer. The dinner and the lunch packs we got for breakfast were well prepared and presented. Especially the men enjoyed the dinner a lot after a long day on the road.

The Barracks 's response

Charmaine arrived late with a massive caravan which we were only informed of on the day of arrival, this being the 24th December at 13:30pm. To park this huge caravan proved very stressful for both them and ourselves as there was very little give of take on either side of the entrance. Charmaine did mention that "she should have checked this before booking". If they had informed us prior to them confirming the booking we would have advised them that we are unable to assist with parking for a caravan, as we have got long narrow drive ways on either side of the main building with no turning room or room for error.

They were also leaving at 04:00am on the 25 December which was also only communicated to us upon arrival at 08:30pm. We do not discount forfeited breakfast and it was too late to prepare a "breakfast pack" for them on the road. If we were informed prior to their arrival i.e. earlier in the day we would have been able to assist.

We welcomed them with sherries and gave them a complimentary bottle of wine and water in their unit.

Lastly - fortunately we all have different scales of measuring value. There is a saying in life that you can please most people most of the time, but not all of the people all of the time. We (being Annalie & Mike - Owners of The Barracks) tried very hard, but to no avail.

Bevredigend.

The Barracks is 'n gemaklike oornagstasie op die langpad tussen Johannesburg en die goeie ou Kaap. Miskien moet die gasheer en dame net let dat alle kliënte "ewe gewig dra". Het so bietjie gevoel dat die ouer garde wat oornag meer aandag op gemak en behoeftes kry (miskien meer gereelde gaste). Maar sal definitief The Barracks aanbeveel vir enige een, maar persoonlik self sal ek 'n meer alle-gaste-welkom-nessie soek as ons weer so ver reis.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Satisfactory.

The Barracks is a convenient overnight stay on the long road between Johannesburg and the good old Cape. Maybe the host and hostess should note that all guests "carry the same weight". Felt a bit as though the older guests enjoyed more attention to their comfort and needs (maybe they are regular guests). But will definitely recommend The Barracks to anyone, but personally when we travel this far again I would look for a more everyone-welcome-nest.

A clean, comfortable bed in a quiet place.

Fine for an overnight stop en route to the Western Cape. A pet friendly, secure, overnight stop was appreciated at The Barracks. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, with attentive hosts. Food served at dinner and breakfast was fresh and delicious.

Veilig, maklik en interessant.

Veilige plek in die middel van die dorp. Parkering binne die erf. Plek het ook geskiedenis vir die wat daarvan sal hou. Ons het daar gebly op pad na vakansie en op pad terug. Kos was ongelooflik lekker. Sal definitief weer daar bly op volgende vakansie.

Baie behulpsame mense wat omgee oor jou veilige aankoms en bied 'n goeie nagrus.

Die diens was puik. Ek was 'n dag voordat ek vertrek het gebel om te hoor van waar ek ry en hoe laat ek van plan is om by die plek aan te kom. En op die dag was ek 'n halfuur laat as wat ek min of meer beplan het. Hulle het my gebel om te hoor of alles nog okay is op die pad. Hulle behulpsaamheid van die begin tot die einde was opreg waardeer. As enkelreisiger het ek baie veilig en op my gemak gevoel.

Very helpful people who care about your safe arrival and provide a good night's rest.

The service was great. I had called a day before I left to find out where I was going and what time I planned to arrive at the place. And on the day I was half an hour later than I had more or less planned. They called me to see if everything was still okay on the road. Their helpfulness from start to finish was greatly appreciated. As a solo traveler I felt very safe and at ease.

Aangenaam!

The Barracks is 'n goeie opsie vir oornagverblyf. Ons was tevrede met die akkommodasie. Daar is 'n pragtige uitsig van die kamerdeur en stoepie oor die berg. Wat 'n groot plus vir ons was, is dat ontbyt ingesluit was in die prys en dat die eienaars 'n mens die opsie gee om 'n gepakte ontbyt te vat as jy vroeg wil ry. Ons het daarvan gebruik gemaak en dit was heerlik!

The Barracks is a good option for overnight accommodation. We were satisfied with the accommodation. There is a beautiful view from the room door and porch over the mountain.

We used it and it was delicious!

Die ontbyt was onverbeterlik met vars vrugte, sap, joghurt, verkskeidenheid pap en vol Engelse ontbyt. Die eienaars was altyd beskikbaar en baie behulpsaam.

'n Baie interessante plek met 'n interessante gasheer.

Die plek het 'n baie interessante geskiedenis en Dave (gasheer) het allerhande interessante stories. Die aandete was voortreflik, veral die vegetariese dis vir twee van ons. Die kamers het alles wat mens nodig het.

Die plek is oud, maar ok. Die koffie en aandkos was heerlik.

Die plek is ok, maar ek hou nie van sulke ou plekke wat spokerig is nie. Die eienaars was baie vriendelik.

The place is ok but I don't like such old places that are haunted. The owners were very friendly.

Ek en my vrou het werklik ons verblyf geniet en sal weer oornag by The Barracks.

Die gasvryheid en kos van The Barracks was werklik uit die boonste rakke en ons het baie lekker daar gekuier.

Aandete was heerlik, net jammer dat dit kos 'n plaas se prys.

Epitome of a family home

Felt like home away from home - only we did not have to clean up like home. Thank you Dave and spouse!

Pleasant host

Very pleasant host, thought they were a bit overpriced, room was quite spartan - ideal for a one-night stay over.

Enjoyed my stay

I enjoyed my stay at the guest house but think that the meals are a bit over priced. The owner told me that the supper worked out R85 per meal and 2 glasses of wine R45.I was charged R265 for 2 suppers and 2 glasses of wine. Don't know where did they get the extra R40 from.
