Exclusive self-catering 4 star original farmhouse with modern bathrooms on Riverton thoroughbred horse stud and wine farm. Nestled in the heart of wine tasting estates in the Cape Central Valley, 6 km from the restaurants in the village of Robertson. Sleeps 10 to 14 guests in 6 bedrooms with 5 bathrooms. Relax in the shade of the long veranda and drink in the magnificent views of the horse paddocks and vineyards back-dropped by the Langeberg mountains.

The bedrooms have either an ac or a fan and panel heater and coffee/tea making facilities. The home is spacious with a lounge, dining room, breakfast room, fully equipped kitchen and family/TV room with a flat screen TV offering the full DSTV bouquet of channels, DVD, iPad/IPhone docking station, card table, board games and table tennis. Guests are welcome to walk around the farm or wander down to the river for a spot of bass or carp fishing. Young children must please not walk around unaccompanied as our horses aren't tame. Horse riding can be organised at the nearby Robertson Riding School.

Optional: Housekeeping can be arranged on request.

Optional: Single, couple or group Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports or Combination massages in the privacy of your room or under the trees in our beautiful garden for a unique experience can be arranged in advance. Price: ZAR700 ppp hour paid directly to the therapist.

Peaceful farm stay in Breede River Valley

We enjoyed two peaceful, relaxed farm days in Barry House on Riverton Stud, just outside Robertson. Distant sound effects were provided by chirping birds or neighing horses. One could sink with one�… More

Nice spot

Response from the owner
We appreciate your honest assessments and have included them in our budget planning. To help our guest to enjoy the view whilst chilling on the long veranda we have installed 3 overhead fans - the moving air currents are successfully keeping the flies away. Whilst Barry House on Riverton is a heritage manor we certainly don't want our guest to feel that it is too lost in time. We are thus giving careful consideration as to how we can "freshen up" the rooms without the house losing it's historic charm and the "artifacts" that some of our guests find fascinating. So far, aside from some minor subtle changes, we have replaced the brass bed and 2 of our rooms are sporting slightly more 'modern' headboards - one being a padded grey leather Victorian diamond headboard. You have certainly set us an interesting challenge which we are keen to meet and trust our guests will approve of. Thank you! Kind regards, Natasha & Duncan Barry
