Sleeping in Nieu Bethesda

Q: I would like to spend a few nights in Nieu Bethesda in December, specifically to visit the Owl House. Could you recommend self-catering accommodation for two people. - Hannes Visagie

A: A spot that may appeal to you is a room in the Bethesda Arts Centre Tower, which is only two minute's walk from the Owl House. This tower is a fairytale-like three-storey building which also houses a restaurant. The best room is on the top floor, which has a huge round bed covered with a "love quilt" made by local artists. Other rooms also have great views of the surrounding mountains or feature private courtyards. You can book by telephoning 049 841-1729. You could also try Rustpunt, a charming fully-equipped Karoo cottage close to the Owl House. It has a large verandah with unrestricted mountain views. Tastefully furnished, it has everything you need for a break in this charming village. Contact the owner on 049 841-1667. Another place to try is Bergsig, a cottage for two people surrounded by a lovely garden. It is also a stone's throw from the Owl House and other attractions in the village. It has a bedroom with double bed, bathroom with shower and a fully-equipped kitchen. There are also braai facilities on the property. For further information and bookings, telephone 049 841-1665.
