Whether your interests lie in art, bushman paintings, fossils, climbing, hiking, bird-watching, mountain biking, horse-riding, game-viewing, star-gazing or stoep-sitting, you'll never be at a loss for things to do in Nieu Bethesda.
Sip on a cocktail around the swimming pool or a sundowner in garden and watch the sky fill with stars; curl up next to the wood-burner and enjoy the carefully selected backpackers' wines or local beer. Treat yourself to the home-made bread and cottage cheese, or braai some delicious Karoo lamb. Pick fresh herbs from the permaculture garden. Take a dip with the goldfish in the dam or hire bikes and explore the Karoo. Book your tours to Bushman Paintings, Fossil walks, The Mountain Zebra Park and The Valley of Desolation and, if you decide to stay for a while, catch up with the outside world every now and then on the Internet...
The Owlhouse Backpackers is a quite, cosy lodge in an established garden with a variety of comfortable ensuite double and twin rooms, 4 & 6 bed dorms all with linen and duvets.
If you don't fancy cooking, Ian and Katrin the well-travelled owners, can provide a hearty breakfast, a pack lunch and dinner of home-made food and home-grown veggies - or point you to the best eateries around town. They will pick you up or drop you off in Graaff-Reinet and you can buy your bus tickets from them.
