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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Warm and friendly welcome. Room, bathroom and backyard need a thorough cleaning and maintenance.
Host and hostess friendly. Room and bathroom dirty. Extensive layer of black algae in bathroom. Surfaces that guests have to touch (doors and switches) covered with sticky dust layer. Visible layer of dust on tiles and wooden moldings. Night rest disturbed by bright external light shining in from window above door (the side curtain is too small and does not block bright light). 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. Room located very close to the street.

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

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.

Die Barracks has an ideal location and the safe, private courtyard, spotless guesthouse, and outstanding service makes it perfect for an overnight stay. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lekker aandete en ontbyt; dubbelbed gemaklik; kamer te veel verlig van buite af.

Nice dinner and breakfast; double bed comfortable; room too much lit from outside.
The owners were very focused on safety which is acceptable. However, the bedroom's blinds were insufficient to block the outside lights and the bedroom was too lit during the night.

Pleasant!
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. What was a big plus for us is that breakfast was included in the price and that the owners give you the option of taking a packed breakfast if you want to drive early. We used it and it was delicious!

Very friendly, helpful reception, food particularly good.
Barracks is well located for tourists. Friendly, helpful reception, safe parking, meals very good, but the uncleanliness really detracted from the experience.

Very pleasant, with a beautiful room and crisp bedding.
We enjoyed a tasty dinner that was particularly well presented. The cutlery is of the best quality and everything was tasty and attractively presented. The breakfast was unbeatable with fresh fruit, juice, yoghurt, variety of porridge and full English breakfast. The owners were always available and very helpful. From now on we will stay at no other place than The Barracks when we are at Colesburg.
