Paradijs is a spacious Karoo farmhouse on edge of the beautiful Nieu Bethesda village, just a 5 minute walk to the Owl house. Sitting on the stunning porch, overlooking the damson plum orchards, with the town and Church in the near distance, and the striking Karoo landscape beyond, it is apt that this house was named Paradijs back in 1876 when first built. The large kitchen is the perfect place for the family to enjoy spending time together. It is fully equipped, and has a woodburning stove and separate fireplace for those cold winter days. The 8-seater dining table, and seating area within the kitchen, with views into the orchard and town beyond, makes it the happy core of the home. The 3-bedroom house was meticulously renovated and remodelled. The thick walls and roof insulation keeps the house cool in summer, and the refurbished sash windows and doors, large poplar beams, antique door handles and light fittings, and eclectic mix of furnishing, gives this home a sense of charm and grandeur. The main bedroom features a King-size bed, and an en-suite bathroom with bath and shower, air-conditioning and heating, with views across the porch and gardens. The other two bedrooms have Queen sized beds - and each has its own bathroom with a shower. All bedrooms have electric blankets for winter, and overhead fans and mosquito nets for summer. This house is the perfect getaway home. You can enjoy the absolute peace and tranquillity of the Karoo from this stunning home, large porch and garden, or quickly pop into the village to grab a bite to eat, visit the owl house, see the art galleries or explore.

Please take note: The property is secured by an alarm and camera system. The alarm system will be available for your use and control via an alarm remote and internal keypad. The camera system is under the control of the guesthouse and can be disabled if you request it to be disabled. The Cottage, previously known as "Simone's", does not have a solid door and wall between the bedroom and bathroom.
