Barrydale

Route 62 Town

Barrydale is just one of many unique towns along the popular Route 62, and most travelers remember it for either one of these: great farm stalls, and excellent brandy. Whatever your reason, it is a town for all seasons and with dozens of reasons to visit. 

The town of Barrydale is set in a lush green valley, surrounded by the Langeberg Mountain ranges. Western Cape, South Africa.

You will find Barrydale ensconced within a verdant valley on the arid side of the Langeberg Mountain ranges, slightly undecided as to whether to stick to its rural roots or to let it all hang out. The upshot of it is that Barrydale has retained a sense of timeless country charm, while the food and coffee are reason enough to interrupt your cruise along Route 62. 

Holidaymakers that stopover in Barrydale are welcomed by the beautiful natural environment of the Overberg, earmarked by the signature hospitality and graciousness of Karoo locals. Whatever your traveling needs, Barrydale will have the right accommodation option for you and your guests - whether you are on a family vacation, a roadtrip with friends, or a romantic getaway. There are several guesthouses and B&Bs to choose from, along with a quaint restaurant or two to refresh your tastebuds.

Outdoor folk will be spoiled for choice in Barrydale, with unsurpassed mountain hikes into the high Langeberg peaks or through the patchwork of orchards and vineyards. Sunny days prevail for most of the year, with some winter frost, but just enough to make for an invigorating morning out and about.
