We loved the quirkiness of the unit! It was so spacious and very comfortable -one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in! Everything is top quality … from the linen to the towels, to the furnishings … We had absolutely everything we needed. And it was SPOTLESSLY clean! Having the restaurant next door is lovely too … we had a delicious breakfast in the morning. I wish we’d spent a few more nights there … we’ll definitely be back!

The bed in our room was really fantastic - huge bed with warm down duvet and comfortable pillows, and an electric blanket that was on when we got to the venue. As it was a freezing night, this was really appreciated! The unconventional decor meant that this was certainly no bland hotel room. Lovely apple juice in the fridge and dried figs were a great touch possibly showcasing food from the Klein Karoo.

The lights in the small lounge were very dull, so it felt a little gloomy in there (it was a miserable day!).

Directly next to iconic Diesel & Creme you find the hidden gem Karoo Moon hotel. It‘s artsy, it‘s edgy, it‘s spacious the perfect stop for a night or two in Barrydale. In the suite we had two living rooms, a very spacious and cozy king size bed, a second bed, four very big comfy chairs and a small kitchenett. The decoration is just outstanding.

It is directly next to Diesel & Creme and very stylish. Expect people to walk by on your porch. All call after 430pm.

This is our 4th visit to the Karoo Moon Hotel and we were not disappointed. We love the quirkiness of the rooms, love the bathroom size and layout, the large and comfy bed and comfy lounge and living area. We had more than enough wood to burn a fire for both nights we were there. Coffee pod machine is always appreciated with the strong wifi. Walking distance to all the restaurants and pubs in town makes it a convenient stop over venue. The host (Dean) was on hand to recommend local spots for the rugby and restaurants to consider.

The only negative (which the host also mentioned) is the close proximity to the restaurant at the Diesel & Creme next door. The noise levels and lack of privacy are only an issue if you are there during the day time, as Diesel & Creme closes promptly at 17h00. SO the evenings are quiet and peaceful. They also have other rooms in town which are more secluded if that is preferred which we will try next time.

Have stayed all over the world, and all over the UK with work, and I have to say I think this little gem of a spot takes the cake for my favourite. An absolutely delightful little cabin, it was a chilly day so being able to light the fire made it very cosy indeed. The interior was gorgeous, with clearly a lot of thought going into it. HIGHLY recommend staying here to anyone. Beautiful little town, with a lovely hill for trail running and hiking right behind the place as well which was yet another bonus for me. The quality of the bedding was exceptional as well. Cannot fault the place.

The Karoo Moon Motel is a combo of quirky, eclectic and upmarket with its exotic blend of memorabilia and high end finishes. The host was extremely helpful with check in and providing suggestions on where to eat. The unit is spacious, luxurious and extremely comfortable. An added bonus with Diesel&Cream on the doorstep serving great food & milkshakes. Loved our stay!

everything! design, decoration, craftsmanship, attention to detail this place is much more than just an accommodation, it is museum, but with enough modern accessories to make it convenient in the 21st century excellent proactive communication with the owner with clear instructions restaurant next door is the cherry on the cake

Comfortable and warm bed. Clean linen. Lovely shower, easy to find the ideal temperature and it stayed there. I could switch the WIFI off and not fry my brain during the night - can't always do that at other facilities

Smoky smell on arrival. I didn't use the fireplace but people should find out exactly how to start the fire to prevent smoke into the room. It could work perfectly
