BARRYDALE KAROO HOTEL
Hotel in Barrydale

We are happy to book one of the private masseurs in town to render massage services for our guests at the hotel. By working with the intregrated WHOLE that the body represents, the following treatments are approached with the HOLISTIC PRINCIPLES that by working with the body’s innate, it has the ability to heal itself. Using Essential Oils, the circulatory and lymphatic systems are stimulated to release toxins and muscle stress. By applying pressire on specific points on the face, blood flow is stimulated leaving the skin to feel tight and replenished. This energy flow is also transmitted throughout the body’s varipus organs leaving it totally relaxed. By means of neuro-muscular feedback, LINKING re-establishes this communication and enhances the healing process. With over 30 years of experience, Shane tailors each session to your body’s individual requirements. He uses ethically-sourced natural oils, including grape seed, coconut and olive oil, to rejuvenate and refresh your body. Note however that time availability is a factor: We do not want your colleagues waiting in the queue behind you to wait too long for their massage. J ust 2 ½ hours from Cape Town, off the scenic Route 62 in the farming village of Barrydale, you’ll find the best accommodation in Barrydale in the form of the quirky, relaxed and welcoming Karoo Art Hotel. Every room in the hotel is individually decorated, one of them by internationally-renowned design collective, Magpie Collective. Aside from the eye-catching interiors and artworks, much of it for sale, the art of winemaking is celebrated with a very good wine list. But perhaps the art that is closest to the beating heart of this funky country hotel is music. In the past 4 years it has firmly established itself as the home of Klein Karoo’s best live music events. Within easy reach of the famous Warmwaterberg hot water springs, and in the heart of the Cape’s longest wine route, this is the perfect stop on a road trip via the scenic R62 to Oudtshoorn and the Garden Route. There’s plenty to do, but here’s the real 21st century challenge: rediscover the art of doing nothing. With caring, nurturing staff on hand to take care of you, the Karoo Art Hotel is a great place to start. Because the Cape’s funkiest country hotel still offers that most vital ingredient: warm, old-fashioned Karoo hospitality. Karoo country hotel style with a twist, each individual in character. Come dinnertime, browse the artworks and other offerings, and enjoy excellent Karoo food in our award-winning restaurant while making a selection from our great wine list. This is echoed by the interior of the downstairs living area, stocked with ample coffee table books on art and travel. Interesting art, soft furnishings and mirrors meet you around every corner. Our room was spacious, with a private balcony overlooking the farm-like town of Barrydale, and an en-suite bathroom offering a shower only.
