Barry House on Riverton offers

Our 4 star exclusive self-catering guest house carries the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa’s seal of approval to offer you peace of mind.

LOADSHEDDING – ROBERTSON AND OUR FARM FALL UNDER ASHTON BLOCK 3

There is an inverter & battery system coupled to solar panels to keep the TV, WiFi, fridges, veranda fans and some of the lights on!

Note:    Shower or bath outside of loadshedding times as the pumps draw too much power on start up to connect them.
Please switch the climate control air conditioners OFF BEFORE LOADSHEDDING – they also draw too much power on start up and can trip the house.

The wild unpredictability of travel is what makes it so exciting! However, when it comes to accommodation it is comforting to know exactly what is on offer:

• 6 Bedrooms; there are 4 en-suite bedrooms and 2 bedrooms that are ideal for children as they share a shower. Sleeps 12 (max 14).  For example 3 couples and 6 children / singles. Two of the en-suite bedrooms have a day bed each that can be made up to accommodate an additional 2 children. There is also a camper cot available for an infant or toddler. See our Rooms page for further details and a floor plan of the house.

Guests are welcome to walk around the farm at leisure. However our horses are not tame ponies and young children must be accompanied by an adult.

The Breede river for fishing and swimming is a 10 minute stroll away.
