Welcome to Aandster, a delightful self-catering establishment nestled in the enchanting town of Nieu Bethesda. This charming old Karoo house, exquisitely furnished and equipped, offers a warm and inviting haven for your stay. Originally an esteemed sculpture studio, the house still showcases Clive's magnificent original artworks within its zen-inspired, walled garden. The captivating decor, adorned with Braam van Wyk's masterpieces, harmoniously captures the essence of the stunning Karoo landscapes.
Discover the heart of Nieu Bethesda as you step into Aandster's embrace. With three bedrooms, including a quaint garden retreat, and a shared bathroom, this enchanting abode provides both comfort and tranquility. The spacious open-plan lounge, dining, and kitchen area is perfect for relaxation and shared moments. Your private garden awaits with a braai for delightful outdoor dining and a delightful swing for the young ones.
Allow the seasons to guide your experience at Aandster. In cooler times, cozy up by the wood-burner in the lounge, while warmer days beckon you to lounge in the sun-kissed walled garden. Fresh cotton linen will keep you cool during summertime, while woolen duvets and mohair blankets offer a snug embrace during wintery evenings. We also happily welcome your furry friends, so feel free to inquire and make arrangements.
Stepping into Nieu Bethesda is like traveling back in time, immersing yourself in the charming history of this 130-year-old village. Marvel at the remnants of its past as you stroll down the wide, dusty streets, lined with stone water furrows that still serve their purpose. Being a sanctuary from streetlights, the night skies unveil their mesmerizing beauty, while the air remains pure and refreshingly crisp.
Witness the village's remarkable water network, still working just as it did when established. Water is daily supplied from a spring atop the plateau, conveniently channeled into residents' gardens through smaller gated funnels. Explore the surrounding beauty by embarking on hikes along the ancient furrows, leading to the spring or embarking on an exhilarating journey up Kompasberg or through the Canyon on one of the nearby farms. Outdoor enthusiasts can revel in the breathtaking surroundings, especially mountain bikers who will find themselves in paradise with two exhilarating bike trails in the area.
