3 Bedroom House in Barrydale

In the heart of Barrydale on the world-famous Route 62 lies one of the Klein Karoos most cherished hospitality landmarks, The Dung Beetle Lodge, Restaurant & Pub. With a loyal following, excellent reputation, and over two decades of success, this turnkey business is ready for its next chapter.

Offered as a going concern (non-VAT registered), the sale includes the property, thriving business, all inventory, furniture, equipment, digital assets, and established online presence across Airbnb, Lekkeslaap, Travelground, and social media. Fully liquor licensed and trading seven days a week, it stands out as one of the few late-night venues in the area, drawing locals, bikers, and travelers alike.

The property spans approximately 600 m2 and is thoughtfully designed for seamless guest experiences. The on-site lodge accommodates up to twelve guests across three comfortable, well-appointed rooms, each with private en-suite bathrooms, tea and coffee facilities, and direct garden access. Two rooms feature kitchenettes for self-catering stays, while the third opens onto a patio with picnic benches. In total, there are five bathrooms across the property, as well as a versatile studio space ideal for an office or managers quarters.

The fully equipped commercial kitchen, laundry, and storage facilities support smooth operations for both the restaurant and pub. Guests and locals gather under flowering trees for the beloved Saturday bring-and-braai, enjoy live music, comedy nights, and casual meals beside the indoor fireplace or shaded outdoor seating areas. A saltwater swimming pool provides a welcome retreat during warmer months, while fibre Wi-Fi, an alarm system, generator, and wheelchair access ensure comfort and convenience year-round.

Beyond its strong community ties, The Dung Beetle maintains an excellent online reputation with average ratings around 4.1/5 and consistent occupancy of 7090%. With multiple income streams, accommodation, food and beverage, and events, this is a stable, profitable business positioned for long-term growth.

Barrydales vibrant mix of locals, artisans, and travelers continues to fuel its rise as a sought-after Klein Karoo destination. This property is more than an investment, its an opportunity to carry forward a legacy of connection, creativity, and authentic country hospitality.
