Bethesda Tower Accommodation

Bethesda Tower is a wonderful and very special place to stay. Located in the delightful and artistic town of Nieu Bethesda it is centrally located for you to visit all the local places of interest by foot. The Tower is amazing and is based on a fairy tale medieval tower (Like Rapunzel was in). Staying in the top room with the great views of the night sky is fantastic. The room is comfortable and although you do have to go down the outside staircase for the bathroom it was no problem and adds to the charm of the Tower. It was a quiet and peaceful place to stay and easy to find (you can see it from the famous Owl House as it is almost across the road). It was my Birthday and Hilton made it a very special occasion for me with some special treats he had arranged with my wife. The evening meal was superb and again made special for my Birthday. The full English breakfast outside in the lovely courtyard was very tasty and a good start to the day. On top of all the above to see the First People Artists wonderful work of tapestries illustrating their cultural stories in the exhibition was absolutely stunning. We are recommending Bethesda Tower to all our friends and a very special thanks to Hilton and all the team there for making our stay so special. Please note the best road to take to get there is the one North of Graaff Reinett on the left of the R61 (Wellwood Farm) as you drive from Graaff Reinett. It is tarred for approx 20Km with only the last 4Km not tarred but ok.

We only spent an evening in Nieu Bethesda - which we thoroughly enjoyed. Stopped for roosterkoek at Toren farm stall on our way in and had to stop again when we left - delicious! We will be back to see more of this beautiful, tranquil little town.

Kind, caring and thought provoking. Good lamb curry too.

Beds were comfortable, rooms were super clean and the service and friendliness of the staff was superb! Breakfast was great too.
