Nieu-Bethesda is ingestel om gaste te vermaak.

Ons het lekker gebly! Pragtige groot huis! Rustige omgewing. Kan veilig in die strate rond stap.

Loved every second

The guesthouse, the vibe and the people, both local and visitors, were amazing. I would only suggest the one bathroom would benefit from a sliding door as manoeuvring around the door was a bit awkward - but we had an amazing stay.

Heerlike oornagplek.

Ons oornag graag by Elke's want ons reis saam met ons twee honde. Hulle geniet die groot tuin en dit is goed omhein so ons kan ook ontspan. Die dorp is pragtig en rustig.

Great place to stay.

We like to spend the night at Elke's because we travel with our two dogs. They enjoy the big garden and it is well fenced so we can relax too. The town is beautiful and peaceful.

Gemaklik

Ideaal om met troeteldiere oor te slaap aangesien die eiendom omhein is. Kon lekker braai die aand.

Voldoen aan al die nodige vereistes.

Elke`s gastehuis is goed toegerus - alles wat nodig is, is daar. Heerlike kuiers op die stoep gehad in die laat Karoo-middag. Binne stapafstand van die meeste kuierplekke.

Was baie mooi, huis is goed toegerus.

Die huis is goed toegerus. In winter beveel dalk aan om hout te koop vir vuur in huis. Badkamer met sort baie klein. Meer inligting oor waar te eet en wat is oop sal help.

Skoon, ruim verblyf. Fantasties vir honde!

Ons honde het saam met ons gereis. Elke's gastehuis het 'n heerlike groot tuin waarin hulle kon baljaar. Lekker stoep om op te kuier. Dis werklik wegbreek van die stad. Alles wat mens nodig het.

Te duur.

Afgeleefde huis. Spinnerakke was die huis vol. Kon sien dis lanklaas uitgevee of skoongemaak. Prys te hoog vir die tipe akkommodasie. Sal nie aanbeveel nie.

Too expensive.

Dilapidated house. The house was full of cobwebs. Could see it hadn't been wiped or cleaned in a long time. Price too high for the type of accommodation. Would not recommend.

Hope ruimte, binne en buite die huis.

Alhoewel die buite temperature hoog was, was die huis koel binne met hope ruimte in die kamers en leefareas. Kombuis is volledig toegerus en baie groot! Ons het die huis baie geniet en sal beslis weer daar wil woon.

Ruim huis, skoon en netjies met 'n egte plattelandse atmosfeer en gasvryheid.

Ons is hartlik verwelkom by Elke's gastehuis. Die woning is ruim, skoon en netjies met al die geriewe wat ons nodig gehad het. Aandete op die stoep by die Karoo Lam was heerlik. Dit is 'n heerlike oornagstop as jy van die binneland kom en op pad is na die George-/Knysna-area.

Spacious house, clean and tidy with a genuine country atmosphere and hospitality.

We were warmly welcomed at Elke's guest house. The house is spacious, clean and tidy with all the amenities we needed. Dinner on the stoep at the Karoo Lamb was delicious. It's a great overnight stop if you're coming from the interior and heading to the George/Knysna area.
