  • Facilities
Tucked away in the folds of the Sneeuberg mountains and close to the little hamlet of Nieu Bethesda, you will find Weltevreden, a historic Karoo sheep farm. Discover Africa's outback at Weltevreden where you can relax in the wide open Karoo countryside with its panoramic view of Compassberg and the Sneeuberg mountain range.

We offer you the chance to enjoy everyday sheep and cattle farming activities, walks, hikes, tennis on clay, a splash pool, sundowner jaunts by arrangement, and genuine peace and quiet under great night skies. Birds are abundant and offer good viewing, along with small game.

There are two self-catering cottages available; Cottage on the Pond and The Prison. We are located 56 km from the historic town of Graaff Reinet and 13 km from Nieu Bethesda, the site of Helen Martins' Owl House and inspiration for Athol Fugard's play "The Road to Mecca".

Having used Safari Now we have grown accustom to the standards set and to a quality service as well – thank you. We discovered this cottage about 12 km outside Nieu Bathesda and were pleasantly surprised. We would rate it higher than what it is advertised as it has spacious, clean and neat with all the necessary utilities for self-catering. The sound of lambs and piglets was music to the ears with ample opportunities for walks in the fresh air. This place certainly warrants a second visit with easy access to Nieu Bathesda.

Ideal for a breakaway from the rush - fresh Karoo air and lots of peace and quiet. The "prison" is fully equipped and we all had a great time. Thank you.
