I love the town. Bed was very comfortable. Staff was amazing. Had their lentil and chickpea potjie for dinner and can honestly say that it was the most delicious vegetarian meal I have ever tasted.

Winter is not the best time to visit Nieu Bethesda and we were the only guests. Barbara and Mimie went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The rooms are comfortable and clean with all the mod cons. But the real attraction is the Stirling restaurant where bara cooked up a Karoo Food Experience for us. Thanks for everything.

This review is relatively objective being my 17th road trip encompassing 18 properties over a 43 night period. I stayed solo for one night in March. Easily found in this very laid back village with adjacent on street parking. I’ve stayed several times and as ever Barbara was a welcoming host. Doesn’t look much from the outside, but inside it’s a lovely blend of old school Karoo and modern touches. Comfortable, clean and well equipped bedroom. Decent shower pressure. The rooms are becoming slightly tired and in need of a light refresh, hence 4 rather than 5 stars. Small garden (in need of a little tlc) and pool. Very relaxing lounge area. The in house Stirlings restaurant has been extended to include an outside dining terrace - perfect when I stayed - as was the Karoo tasting menu I enjoyed. The restaurant was very popular with local trade, which tells its own story. Breakfast was well up to standard. Still highly recommended.
