Slow living in Nieu Bethesda

If you've ever driven the road between Graaff-Reinet and Nieu Bethesda, chances are you've considered selling your worldly possessions and relocating. It's probably among one of the most beautiful roads to drive in the country.

Whether you have an afternoon or weekend to spend in this unique village, you'll definitely be leaving with the urge to infuse more of your days with the slow living joie de vivre Nieu Bethesda offers.

I would encourage a trip that extends past just one day, there is a lot to take in and taking it easy is strongly encouraged on your visit. Time moves at its own pace in Nieu Bethesda.

There are culinary highlights, an honesty shop on a local stoep and donkey cart rides to experience.
