At The Bethesda, Ludolf and Carla Smit offer luxury accommodation in tranquil surroundings. Set in the heart of Nieu-Bethesda village on sprawling grounds, one is met by an expansive ‘stoep’ (verandah) facing the formal rose garden.

Natural wooden floors lead to the spacious interior and charming en-suite rooms, featuring custom-designed and sourced furniture and textiles. Large windows, high ceilings and solid walls provide a cool refuge in summer and a warm haven in winter.

All the rooms are individually decorated, expressing Karoo chic with classic style, and open out onto the garden. Comfort and detail are of the utmost importance with extra-length king-size beds, crisp white percale linen and towels, high-quality amenities and robes and slippers.

At The Bethesda, they encourage their guests to relax and unwind. They don’t offer television, instead they offer the Karoo sunshine, wide open spaces and plenty of pastimes:

– Our collection of books to savour on the stoep or in the lounge
– Access to the tennis courts directly across the road at the Nieu-Bethesda Sports Club.
– Fitness equipment available to use in one’s room, include gym mats, light free weights, foam roller, yoga support blocks.
– Complimentary Wi-Fi at 2Mbs download and 1 Mbps upload speed
– A swim dam with pool loungers and towels overlooking the vegetable garden
– Children amenities include a jungle gym, colouring in books, board games, story books, cartoon DVD’s (to be used on guests’ laptop)
– Bruno’s pizzeria, where one can savour our Karoo thin based pizzas with locally sourced ingredients
