“Peaceful farm stay in Breede River Valley”
We enjoyed two peaceful, relaxed farm days in Barry House on Riverton Stud, just outside Robertson. Distant sound effects were provided by chirping birds or neighing horses. One could sink with one�… More

“Nice spot”
This is a quaint sprawling house that is perhaps a little lost in time. The rooms are nicely done and there's everything you need but it does feel like the owners left thirty years ago It… More

Response from the owner We appreciate your honest assessments and have included them in our budget planning. To help our guest to enjoy the view whilst chilling on the long veranda we have installed 3 overhead fans - the moving air currents are successfully keeping the flies away. Whilst Barry House on Riverton is a heritage manor we certainly don't want our guest to feel that it is too lost in time. We are thus giving careful consideration as to how we can "freshen up" the rooms without the house losing it's historic charm and the "artifacts" that some of our guests find fascinating. So far, aside from some minor subtle changes, we have replaced the brass bed and 2 of our rooms are sporting slightly more 'modern' headboards - one being a padded grey leather Victorian diamond headboard. You have certainly set us an interesting challenge which we are keen to meet and trust our guests will approve of. Thank you! Kind regards, Natasha & Duncan Barry

Response from the owner Thank you! It warms our hearts that you have described Barry House so perfectly! It is a well loved rambling home from a bygone era when families were huge and visitors didn't just pop in, they stayed for days. So glad you all enjoyed your stay and sensed the welcoming atmosphere of the home! Also pleased that you didn't mind our dogs treating you as part of the family. They consider it their duty to look after our guests as well.
