## Our read

Kamala Karoo is worth the journey because the stay is built around an 11-circuit rose quartz labyrinth Terry de Vries designed in a Klein Karoo garden, not because Barrydale needed another Route 62 inn.

## Come here for

- Travellers who will leave Cape Town or the Garden Route for a labyrinth walk, a saltwater pool under the trees, and a two-night stay in a named room, not a town hotel with a spa list
- Adults who can live with a smoke-free house, no guests under 18, and vegetarian food on retreat days
- People who want Terry's labyrinth, yoga or sound work as extras, or who will book the whole garden for a group of up to 16

## Skip it if

- You are travelling with anyone under 18, or with a pet. The Book page prints no under 18s and no pets.
- You want a one-night stop on Route 62, a hotel bar, or a stay with no walk at the centre of it. The minimum is two nights. The labyrinth is the reason to come.

## The place

Kamala Karoo sits at 33 Bain Street in Barrydale, in the Klein Karoo of the Western Cape. kamalakaroo.com names Terry de Vries as the person whose vision the sanctuary is, beside info@kamalakaroo.com and 082 442 5623 on the same homepage. The land is printed as 5,500 square metres: a garden, a yoga studio, a soul library, an outdoor infrared sauna, a saltwater pool, a fire pit, and an 11-circuit rose quartz labyrinth. Terry is named there as a labyrinth expert, yoga teacher and sound healer. Images on the site are credited to Hannah Paton Photography, with Frank and Nicole Krummacher, and to Josua de Vries. The Book page prints overnight rooms, not a day spa. Five deity-named rooms in the Wellness Villa (Lakshmi, Durga, Aditi, Parvati, Ganesha) each have an en-suite bathroom, a garden view and a private patio. Two Garden Suites, Saraswati and Kwan Yin, share a patio over the vegetable garden. The secluded Garden Cottage Aphrodite has its own patio, hanging chair, hammock and an outside bath. The whole villa sleeps 10. The whole sanctuary sleeps 16. Minimum two nights. No guests under 18. No pets. Smoke free. Health breakfast is included on the room rates. In season until 30 April 2026 the villa rooms print R3,300 per room per night, the garden suites R3,520, and Aphrodite R3,950.
