We were warmly welcomed and spent a very comfortable overnight stop. Milk fresh from the cows was in our fridge. The family were very helpful. We would recommend this guest house.

Beautifully set in the heart of a nature reserve. I loved the option of an open air shower near the Rondawel! The staff are exceptional. There is also a beautifully curated museum near the reception - a must see!

That is an awesome accommodation in an awesome surrounding. The hotel with several small houses suites perfect in the nature reserve. The staff is welcoming and makes you feel like home. I stayed only one night and wish I would have had more time to spend in this wonderful place.

Barry's reminds me of a little house (or apartments) trapped in time in the midwest USA (or anywhere) during the 1950's. The place is very homey. It is so relaxing and the best thing about Barry's is that it accepts Bitcoin Lightning in a town where most businesses accept Bitcoin Lighning. This is going to bring a huge boost to the town and it makes paying for your room a breeze from anywhere you are on the planet at the moment of payment. The cat on site is extremely friendly and adds to the homey feel. I could see a old VW Beatle over the wall in the neighbors which reminds me of Mexico that had millions of these back in the day.

Interesting location looking out over the river. Slightly confused about the property names. It is named 3 bedroom house in booking.com, on the web site it is called Heron House, but on arriving it is now named Kingfisher! The house is divided into 2 with the main part having 2 upstairs bedrooms. We opted to sleep in the next door bedroom which has a bigger bed and is on the ground floor, meaning no lifting of suitcases! No washing machine as in the description. The staff will do your washing for free if asked.
Great watching the passing boats from the stoop. Be prepared for a long dirt road trip to get there. We ate at the Boathouse restaurant on the river, which has great pizzas (about 20 mins drive away).

It is worth your while to visit De Hoop.
It is worth your while to visit De Hoop. We saw a lot of animals but unfortunately no whales due to the wind. The beach is amazing as is the restaurant by the beach. The long dirt road is a bit of a challenge.

The indoor market is a must visit.
The indoor market is a must visit. The only general dealer in Witsand has a wide variety of products in stock at only a little bit more expensive than the big supermarkets. We felt very safe during our stay and the ladies and children could walk everywhere without feeling unsafe. Remember to check on the restaurant specials at the beach and don't forget the excellent roosterkoek at the indoor market.

It's an absolute beaut to stay on the River.
Indoor braai and the walks down to the riverside was awesome.
Ample space.
The Double Bunks make up for more space for more people which is great.
The cupboards was dirty
And the fridge had a smell
All in all very nice stay.
The Bees came out the Sunday but scary though just glad it was after we had a blast there.

It was beautiful but rugged and not everything is easily accessible. I would go there in a heart beat for a fishing trip, but I think there are better places to go to the beach for parents with small children.

The reserve is not a big 5 animal park but has an amazing biodiversity of flora and birds. It has an inland lagoon, a large white dune field and a beautiful coastline where you can spot whales in the right season. It also has the only remaining Cape Vulture colony in the Western Cape.
To access the park, you need to travel on long stretches of gravel road, so is a bit off the beaten track. You need to pay a conservation fee at the entrance (check Cape Nature for rates). It hosts the multiday slack-packing hike of the Whale Trail. However, it also has lovely day walks and bike rides, where you can get up quite close to the animals.

Witsand is a quiet town and the people friendly.
Witsand is a quiet town and the people friendly. The waiter at the restaurant in town was a bit sulky. Not very friendly. You sit down, you order, you eat, you pay, you go. But the food was perfect.
