About Us
A true outdoor experience
The Barnard’s Barnyard is located on the outskirts of Cape Town near the small town of Malmesbury, this charming family getaway not only offers a tranquil environment coupled with breathtaking views but also the opportunity to explore all that nature has to offer.
The outdoors on our farm offers all our guests a personalised experience through the freedom of creating your very own adventures. The Barnyard is known for the peace and tranquility it offers, from being greeted by a wide range of early morning birds or the calming stillness that the night brings, inevitably sparks a disconnect from the busyness of life. This true outdoor experience is enriched by the farm animals, surrounding and natural vegetation. Our accommodation operates entirely off the grid, inviting you to experience a tranquil stay in harmony with nature. We kindly ask guests to use electricity mindfully to preserve this balance.
We have such a passion for living an outdoor experience that we started the Barnyard to share our experience with as many people as possible.
