Barry House veranda
Relax and unwind with a chilled glass of wine and drink in the stunning views across the horse paddocks and vines. In summer the fans not only cool you down but keep the flies at bay. The ceilings fans work during loadshedding!
Note: The Duncan & Hubertha Barry en-suite has double doors leading out onto the veranda. These can be used with entrance to the house via the front door should the interleading door to the adjacent twin room not be used by a couple with 2 children.
Rooms are all named after the Barry family
Each room in this historic home has been decorated individually to reflect the personality of the Barry personage that they were named after. Hannah’s room however is named after the governess that not only raised Duncan van Reenen Barry’s children and grandchildren but the extended family as well. Famous for keeping a very strict eye on her charges she would also gather them and all their friends up for a feast of fresh farm bread and homemade butter with her renowned watermelon or fig konfyt (preserve). Honouring her request she is buried in the Barry family cemetery plot in Robertson.
