Owner's Map of Cape Town
My husband and I fell in love with a wonderful historic Manor House which had been sadly neglected. We set about restoring it to its full former glory dating back to 1898. We retained the outside facade and leaded windows and numerous other features and built totally new bathrooms, kitchens etc.
My husband's background in the architectural field combined with my former work at Scandianvian Airlines in Copenhagen led us to make an improptu decision to share our apartments with travellers from all over the World, and to offer them a home from home in Cape Town.
It has been great fun, and we look forward to continue sharing Danish/South African hospitality with our guests.

Not only was Barry Hall in a wonderful location but the owner Rita, provided first class service. As for the location, you would be hard pressed to find a better one. Within a 10 minute walk you could find a couple of grocery, liquor, and pharmacy stores along with many outstanding neighborhood restaurants. As an added bonus the property is located only a few blocks from the ocean with its wonderful promenade filled with families, dog walkers, and art work. It is here That you can catch the on and off red double Decker bus that will provide a good overview of the city And it’s the surrounding area. We were able to save a day on our car service and it provided us with A clear idea of what and where we wanted to spend more time and even saw things we were unaware Of from our various tour books. As for Rita, not only did she arrange for the car service to pick us up but she was there to greet us herself at 11:00PM. She called to verify that we were fine after the worse wind in over 50 years had Swept through the area and to provide us with information on what to see in the surround areas. On top of that much of the furniture in the unit is designed by her husband and produced by their Local company. Overall experience, Property description and photos were accurate. The property was clean and well maintained with few exceptions that were taken care of promptly. Issue of ants and a light switch. I would have loved to have had screens on the windows to keep out the mosquitoes, or at lease AC. However we know this is not the norm in the area. We have recommened this property to our friends.

If you want comfort, historical charm, and access to everything Cape Town, this is the home for you! We stayed 12 days for World Cup and besides having amazing African winter weather, our accommodations made this vacation. It is a warm, clean, safe place to come home to after a long day touring. This place is close to everything. We walked to the waterfront more than once. You are steps from cabs, good restaurants, coffee, internet cafes, a great grocery store, and best of all the beach. Seriously, what else can I say, oh I know, the owners of this building are amazing! Rita and Neil greet you when you arrive, and kiss you goodbye when you leave, and in between they are 100% available to assist you with whatever you need. Dinner recommendations, driving directions, you name it. We felt so at home knowing we could ask them anything. Do yourself a favor and don't feel like you have to be right down town. This is really a perfect location! Thanks Rita and Neil!! Lonely Planet better come visit you!

We stayed not at this pictured apartment, but at another the owner, Rita, maintains in Camps Bay. The apartment was perfect- clean, safe, BEAUTIFUL ocean views of Camps Bay and Signal Hill, and check in and out times were flexible. The location was as described- no more than 15 minutes in any direction to much of what Cape Town has to offer... a few minutes to the beach (or a long walk), a few minutes to Table Mountain and Signal Hill, 10-15 minutes to the V&A Waterfront area and downtown, and a grocery store just moments away. We found it was the perfect spot to stay for what we wanted to see. A car is really required, and the neighborhood seemed really safe. The apartment had good amenities and Rita was an excellent host! We would recommend it to anyone. We would recommend driving around the Cape along the coast... it's a beautiful drive with many stops along the way- great views at Hout Bay, Cape Point, Simons Town, Kalk Bay and back. There is a great restaurant in Kalk Bay called Cape to Cuba that we highly recommend. The apartment was about 1.5 hours to Cape Point, if I remember correctly. We'd love to come back!

Barry Hall was our home away from home for 2 weeks during the 2010 World Cup, and our group of four (two married couples) could not have been happier with our experience, from start to finish. Rita (owner) and her staff were incredible- the accommodations really felt more like a 5 star hotel than a self catering apartment (but with the advantage of being able to cook your own food in a stainless steel kitchen or have your own bbq in the back courtyard). While the pictures on VRBO and their website are accurate, they could not capture how charming, spacious, and elegant the building and units actually are. All of our expectations were far exceeded during the stay, and we look forward to coming back to re-live our World Cup experience in the future. I should also note we appreciated Barry Hall's location within Cape Town - we felt we were ideally located to take in all the city has to offer. Table Mountain, the beach scene at Camps Bay, downtown city center, are all at your finger tips here..

• Have had a wonderful month , to think that before I went to Cape Town I was worried where I would stay, I need not have worried, for it could not have been better than Barry Hall . Many thanks.
