The Barracks offers bed and breakfast accommodation in Colesberg, Karoo with facinating 'backstory' dating over 170 years.

The Barracks (so named as the property was used as barracks during the Anglo-Boer War) was built in 1851 and substantially renovated in 2004. The original building, which is now our family unit, was soon augmented by the main house as the owner, David Arnot, was a prolific breeder of children and needed plenty of accommodation to house his large family. The comfortable and spacious Colesberg Accommodation has double rooms, all with private access, have their own bathrooms (with either a bath and shower or shower only) and private patios. They are all fully air-conditioned to ensure a comfortable stay no matter what the season is. All rooms have TV's with DSTV (Hotel Package).

We also have a large family unit with its own private courtyard shaded by a large oak tree and grape vines. This unit is also ideal for guests travelling with dogs.

Secure off-street parking is available, but limited, so guests towing trailers, boats, caravans, etc. should inform us, at the time of booking, so that arrangements can be made.

We are a pet friendly establishment. Unfortunately we only have one unit that is Dog friendly the other units we are okay with cats / rats / birds etc. but doggies do need a bit more space and be kept separate from our dogs.

The dining room is open for Breakfast between 06:30am - 08:30am (October - March) and 07:00am - 08:30am (April - September) for a Full English / Continental Breakfast and for dinner from 06:30pm - 08:30pm. Please note that the last plate goes out at 08:00pm. PLEASE ADVISE ANY DIETARY REQUIREMENTS. (i.e. NO Pork for Breakfast or Vegetarian) DINNER MUST BE BOOKED PRIOR TO ARRIVAL, NOT ON THE DAY OF ARRIVAL.

The cosy pub is fully stocked with a wide range of beers, wines, whiskies, etc.
