but the shower is a bit old sometimes, and there are many mosquitoes in the room, for which they do provide peaceful Sleep body spray and some insecticide.

Mozzie spray, hand creams, body lotions, shower gels and shampoo.

Mike and Annalie were great hosts and we had an excellent breakfast.

The whole experience was very good from the accommodation, the breakfast and our hosts, who could not do enough for us.

Mike was incredibly hospitable and friendly and showed us to our room and pointed us in the direction of a delicious, hot meal from Inni Kraal (a short walk from The B&B).

The dinner recommendation "Inni Kraal" was good as was the Barrack's early morning breakfast in spite of Eskom electricity outages.

Talking with other travellers is always a good time, coupled with delicious food, it was a special evening.

Annalie and Mike were very accommodating as we wanted to arrive at family Covid Free, and served us breakfast on our private little terrace at the room, which was safe and very pleasant.

Food - dinner was memorable with excellent lamb chops; breakfast also very good.

Thank you for the awesome breakfast 💯🥰 , thoruoghly enjoyed it.

We also enjoyed breakfast during this trip, which was also first class!

The food was outstanding - it was too difficult to make choices at each meal because every meal was great, and the buffet dinner on Saturday night had the tables and us groaning with a huge array of so many different delights that we had to try everything.

Breakfast was lovely (despite loadshedding) and we enjoyed looking at all the War memorabilia.

Mike and Annelie prepared the most amazing dinners and breakfast.

Their dinner of lamb chops and the breakfast with eggs to order, was delicious.

but was received with a warm welcome by Mike who checked us in and made sure we were with safe off road parking.

Safe parking for vehicles Owners are friendly and eager to assist.

We booked the pet-friendly unit as we travel with 3 dogs, and the enclosed courtyard ensured they were safe and could roam in the fresh air after a day in the car.

Safe and secure parking is provided on site.

I felt safe and secure in my room, which is important for me being a solo traveler.

The Reception was friendly and informative; The room was clean and comfortable; The parking was safe and secure on-site; The breakfast was delicious and check-out was easy.

Parking was safe and i will surely use the BARRACKS again.

You're look for tidy, safe, hygienic and affordable.

Easy to find from the N2, safe parking and heated rooms against the Karoo cold.

The service  was excellent and was offered a drink on arrival ,the beds were comfortable and the rooms clean with a nice little patio, the breakfast included in the price was very good.We also had safe parking for our vehicle.Owners were very friendly and helpful.

The room- sleeping 4, was beautifully decorated and spotless, and the closed courtyard perfect to keep the dogs safe.

Had a lovely stay and will visit again. Safe parking is also provided and a husky named Lumi patrols the area :-)

Safe and pet friendly area also lovely garden for us humans.

We were travelling with our big dogs and were looking for a safe place to break our journey with an enclosed courtyard /garden so that the dogs didn't have to be on lead all the time when outside.

We traveled from Cape Town to Joburg and arrived just after 3 on Sunday afternoon.

We stayed only one night on route from Cape town to PTA, with our cats and iut was the best place to stay.

Good for stop over between Gauteng and Cape town

The best thing is that they are there to meet you after a long trip from Cape Town or Johannesburg with a smile and absolute efficiency.

The Barracks is a superb hidden gem in Colesberg that we used for an overnight sleepover during our drive from Joburg to Cape Town.

We overnighted at The Barracks on our way to Cape Town, and

It is still an outstanding place to sleep over on your way to Cape Town or PE/Jeffreys Bay (from Johannesburg).

We stayed here overnight on our way home to Cape Town.

Perfect stop-over in a beautiful little town.

Decent place for a Jo-burg to Cape Town half way stopover.

Ideal stopover to West coast or Cape Town area.

emerging from the harsh lockdown we decided to drive to Cape Town rather than fly and needed to break the trip into two session.

I thoroughly enjoyed my evening there, and will do so again when we travel that way. A bit of a drive through the town,

Situated in a quiet part of town which ensured some peace and quiet.

Awesome hosts, great rooms and all round fabulous stay in-between Cape Town and Jozi  :) I arrived with a welcome glass of sherry to take off the travel buzz, a lovely conversation with their husky dog in their cozy gardens - he's got lots to say = which made me miss my fury children even more - they even have a pet friendly room for those traveling with their fury children - just fyi :)

I will definitely break my  Cape Town to Johannesburg journey there again.

Our go-to place on the way between Cape Town and KZN

A very convenient place to stay midway between Cape Town and Johannesburg/Pretoria.

We were directed where to go for dinner in town, which was a quick walk.

Close enough to walk into town and see some old buildings and churches.

The best experience ever, with great food, wonderful warm hosts and customer service.

We were greeted by our hosts and made to feel very welcome!

Mike and Annalie were great hosts and made us feel very welcome.

The hosts, Mike & Annerlie, were very friendly and helpful.

Very helpful hosts who also helped us with printing documents before departure.

The service from the hosts are second to none.

The hosts (Mike and Annelie) were very attentive.

To our Hosts, Mike & Annelie,

Thank you very much for your friendliness and true hospitality.

Annalie and Mike are excellent hosts and our future trips via Colesberg will always include a stop over at The Barracks.

Kind and welcoming hosts provide good value-for-money and a pleasant and friendly environment.

Thank you Mike and Annelie, you are super hosts.

Was welcomed by charming hosts Mike and Amelie and shown to my lovely room with a glass of sherry -  great after an 8hour drive.

Terrific hosts with good recommendations for dinner.

The WIFI was excelent, also in our room, dispite the thiks walls.

Due to the very thick walls, there was absolutely no road or other noise.

Wifi in the rooms seems challenged by the thick concrete walls of each room

Thick  stone  walls and  beautiful  wooden floors.

but i lost my heart in the breakfast restauran, to the beautiful antique furniture, and pictures on the walls.

Best place to stay 
Breakfast was delicious
Very friendly staff
Room nice and big very clean and tidy
Warm welcome when we arrived friendly staff very helpful
Loadshedding did not stop us neither did rain.

The Breakfast the next morning was delicious and freshly prepared.

If you have time opt for the breakfast,it was delicious.

The breakfast room is really lovely, looking out  onto the garden and the breakfast was good.

I can't comment on the variety or quality of breakfast as we didnt have any.

Spacious bathroom, comfortable beds, and nice breakfast.

Very efficient, friendly, clean, comfortable and a wholesome breakfast - just what's needed for a quick overnight stop!

The room and bathroom were VERY spacious and our request for a packed breakfast was accommodated as we needed to leave early to get an early start on the next day's journey

The staff is very kind and friendly with an awesome breakfast the next morning.

although I didn't have breakfast there myself, I have heard great things about the Lighthouse breakfast.

Cottage was equipped for 6 people very neat and tidy very spacious
 Breakfast delicious.

She also let us store stuff in the big freezer in the breakfast area.

Very nice ,neat and quiet place to stay.The people are friendly and the breakfast was lovely.Very helpfull hosts.We will defenitely visit again and recommend this for a overstay going to Cape Town.We loved it!

Breakfast was a far cry from the pictures we saw of the this B&B.

Nice rooms, great breakfast, friendly staff.

Breakfast is available 
Restaurants in walking distance 
Off street secure parking

the rooms are clean and the breakfast was good for the price we paid.

From our friendly and very helpfull welcome, the safe parking, beautiful clean room to the delightful breakfast.

but felt that we had to cancel our reservation due to COVID positive test.

I asked the hotel if we could check in later (22:00/22:30) due to the circumstances

Due to the fact that 3 persons were staying over we were alocated one bathroom

Due to a turned over pantechnicon i arrived rather late - i called whist waiting for the mess to be cleared up through to the accommodation to advise about the delay -The hostess , Bianca   was most accommodating , like it used to be when your patronage was appreciated .

Boy oh boy I was wrong, despite arriving almost 2hrs late due to trucking convoy we were greeted warmly.

Loved the message to shower in the evening as due to the icy weather, there might not be hot water in the morning, due to burst pipes!!!

but refuse to pay me back my rate due to COVID test - I find this conduct unacceptable and want a refund from LightHouse to be paid back to me.

I then requested if they would be willing to give us our money or some back as they lost nothing and we had to pay for another room for the night plus expenses for our car.

We even paid in full and did not receive any refunds.

The WiFi did not work neither did the computor in the office so I had to go and draw cash to pay for my accommodation

I asked her if she was going to transfer our funds for the room to that guesthouse in Richmond, she said no we will have to pay the guesthouse and unfortunatley we will forefeit our funds (and either sleep on the road) for the initial booking with her.

She charged me R200pp extra and I undertook to pay it the next morning, which I duly did.

however don’t support the breakfast, its overpriced for real low quality (no love at all) food; however its very uncomplicated and a safe place.

The Herb garden is slightly more expensive

Not good value for money, cost us roughly the same per night as 11 other places we stayed on our 3 week trip which were all far superior.

Awful experience, felt ripped off for the price charged.

however, that the breakfast is a bit over priced.

just a pity the breakfast is not included in the price.

Just a pitty that the price do not include a breakfast.

I have stayed at several different places in Colesberg, similar and higher priced,

We had to gather together all our cash to pay.

The unit doesn't have a kitchen which makes it expensive if you have a family and wanted to stay longer.

The only room available for a couple did not have air conditioning do we paid more for a family room with air conditioning

Easy walk to restaurants as well located.

All the restaurants were within walking distance from the guesthouse.

we received a warm welcome and were happy that everything was in very close proximity so that we could walk for dinner.

The location of the property is excellent with four restaurants within walking distance.

It is within easy walking distance of a few restaurants and

Ideal for a safe and tranquil night's rest halfway between JHB and CPT.

The accommodation is very secure and safe with off-street parking.

Safe and secure off-street parking so you can leave luggage in the car.

The host was very friendly and the breakfast was great!

The accommodations were clean and comfortable and the breakfast was way beyond our expectations.

Very friendly and helpful hosts, delicious breakfast.

The breakfast the next morning was tadty and well prepared.

We were pleasantly surprised with our choice in particular the delicious food at the restaurant.

Darren in particular is a masterful chef and the food is delicious.

The dinner and breakfast was delicious, definitely highly recommended to eat at the guesthouse.

but from what we saw delivered to the unit next to us as a take-a-way breakfast on the go, the catering services were too top.

Loved the plunger coffee in the room and the food was outstanding, both dinner and breakfast.

We had a very pleasant stay over for one night,it was like home,the dinner and breakfast really special!

but we got it and the breakfast was also amazing, accompanied by fresh crumpets and home made preserves.

Food was lovely 
A consideration could be to start the breakfast at 6 am as there are a few early riseres that would like to have breakfast before the next part of the journey overall pleasaNT STAY

the staff was friendly and the breakfast was very good.

A very good dinner and a very good breakfast.

The rooms were comfortable and very clean and the food was delicious.

The restaurant is a stunning setting for dinner and the food is delicious.

The Die Kleipot Guest House is near to this landmark: Colesberg-Kemper Museum

but due to COVID-19 restrictions could not offer dinner.

Over December we stayed overnight on two occasions, the first where they accommodated us due to a late cancellation.

We were really a bit disappointed with the reception, almost died of heat and had to be moved to a 'sharing' room and no refund was offered due to the rooms not having fans!

We stopped here on our way to Bloem for a wedding and due to the road works arrived REALLY late.

The accommodation is superior and comfortable.

Lovely setting, excellent accommodation and a delicious bill of fare.

Great atmosphere, food and accommodation.

Comfortable accommodation, and the meals ordered and left for us in the fridge are always tasty.

Simple clean accommodation with a meal ready to cook on your arrival.

Weeks later, we received a warm welcome by the staff and were delighted with our accommodation in the Paddocks, a spacious self-catering unit, overlooking the expanse of Karoo grassland.

Perfect accommodation for my overnight stay, lovely peaceful setting and views.

Clean, comfortable accommodation, add a cold refreshing swim in Karoo pool, G & T, and phenomenal dinner under the stars by chef Pardon, made for an awesome stopover spot.
