Bethesda Tower

 
 

Description

Unique accommodation experienced in an enchanting tower at a vibrant Arts Centre in the Karoo village of Nieu Bethesda. The Bethesda Arts Centre Tower is located two minutes' walk from the fascinating Owl House, surrounded by stunning mountains, under an amazing array of stars. See the artists at work making huge colourful wall hangings and lino-prints, or catch a performance at the outdoor theatre while enjoying a Karoo-style meal at our great restaurant.

The Tower is a fairytale building three stories high.  On the top floor is a huge round bed, covered with a “love quilt” made at the project.  The middle room has twin beds, so the Tower is ideal for a couple wanting a romantic night, or an adventurous family wanting a completely unique experience.  There are wonderful views of the surrounding hills from the Tower balcony, and at night you can sit and sip your wine under the stars in the round stone courtyard, in privacy and complete safety. 

Delicious meals are served in the Arts Centre's restaurant/gallery, where you can browse the exquisite bags, cushion covers, wall hangings, and prints made at the Centre, or chat to the artists while you wait for a fine meal prepared from local produce in the Tower kitchen.

The Priory is named after the Priory in England where its stunning 1820 stained glass windows came from. It sleeps a maximum of seven people, with the beds covered quilts and the walls covered with artwork both made at the Centre.  A beautiful stone courtyard with its own barbecue area offers privacy in a charming outdoor setting. Here you can gaze at the famous Bethesda night sky while you sip your wine.

Nights spent in the Centre's friendly and quirky accommodation will not only give you the chance to meet the local artists, but to know that you are supporting a worthwhile project that is changing people's lives.

Magical place with very friendly and accommodating staff who served us breakfast early so we could make an early start. The dinner was delicious too.

Magical place! The staff were very friendly and accommodating, even arriving early to make breakfast for us. The rooms were charming and the food was delicious.

We stayed over at the Bethesda Tower for a single night and were blasted away by the friendliness, efficiency and cleanliness of the venue. The staff were always willing to assist us and the next morning arranged for a breakfast on the stoep. We chatted with the locals and got a real sense of hospitality. Thanks a lot!

We so enjoyed our stay at the Tower and the service was really good. Love the idea of the tower as its just something special.
