WARMWATERBERG

Warmwaterberg Spa & Barrydale Weekend: The Ultimate Winter Escape!

Get ready to soak away the winter chill! We are heading to the iconic Warmwaterberg Spa from June 12th 14:00 to 14th 14:00 for a weekend that perfectly balances rugged Karoo hiking with pure, steaming relaxation.

Imagine waking up in the heart of the Klein Karoo, surrounded by vast landscapes, and knowing that after a day on the trails, a natural hot spring is waiting for you. Whether you’re looking for a challenging mountain loop or just want to float under the stars, this weekend has it all.

The Highlight: Private Roman Baths

For those staying in the Main House, luxury awaits! Each unit of four comes with its very own private Roman Bath, allowing you to step straight from your room into the healing, mineral-rich waters whenever the mood strikes. No Water Restrictions - all water is recycled for the farm and straight from the Eye.
