“Barry's reminds me of a little house (or apartments) trapped in time in the midwest USA (or anywhere) during the 1950's. The place is very homey. It is so relaxing and the best thing about Barry's is that it accepts Bitcoin Lightning in a town...”

Owen grew up in Zimbabwe, and farmed citrus,cattle and maize there, until we moved to Witsand. Owen has four children, some in UK and one in Zimbabwe with three grandchildren. He is enjoying his career change from farming to tourism! and aswell as being a keen cyclist - he is also learnt to kite surf at the grand old age of 60!! Owen married Helen in 2012. She was born in the UK and after studying for a BSc and MSc at the Royal Agricultural University in the UK,she spent many years travelling the globe, working in tourism /farming or volunteering to fund these travels. We both enjoy to travel and meeting new people - and look forward to welcoming you to Witsand.
