    Peaceful, well-equipped and close to the few quite impressive restaurants / fairly basic but well-stocked shop in Nieu Bethesda, this was a really nice surprise at the end of a long journey. Washing machine and Arga-style heater were bonus items...

This charming cottage is a hidden gem in the quaint village of Nieu-Bethesda which lies in the heart of the Great Karoo. The cottage is situated on a large plot of land, with a stunning Mountain view. The cottage has a cozy and inviting atmosphere, with concrete floors, exposed brick walls, and a wood burning stove for cold winter months. The living room has a sofa and a king size daybed with a magnificent mountain view with stacking doors opening up onto the patio area. The open plan kitchen is well-equipped with a fridge, a stove, a microwave, a toaster and a washing machine. The dining room area has a table with four relaxing Malawian chairs. The patio has a four-seater bench where you can enjoy your meals al fresco with a beautiful mountain view and a working windmill in the background. Open air BBQ facility available for guests to enjoy. The bedroom has a double bed, a standing mirror, open cupboard and a place to hang your cloths with a floor standing fan for the hot summer days. The bathroom has a big walk-in shower, a toilet, and a basin. The cottage is perfect for couples, solo travellers, or small families who want to experience the tranquillity and charm of the Karoo. The cottage is located in a quiet and safe neighbourhood, within walking distance from the village centre. There you can find restaurants, a general store, art galleries and a bookshop. You can also visit the famous Owl House, a museum and sculpture garden created by the eccentric artist Helen Martins. The cottage is also close to several natural attractions, such as the Nieu-Bethesda Fossil Centre, the Karoo Adventure Centre, Camdeboo national park and the Compassberg Mountain. You can explore these places by hiking, biking, horse riding, or 4x4 driving. The cottage is a wonderful place to relax and unwind, while enjoying the beauty and diversity of the Eastern Cape region.
