Peaceful, quiet, lovely. The village of Nieu Bethesda itself is an experience! The Water Tower is perfect for two people staying overnight. Although it is self-catering, guests do not need to cook, as there are so many great places to eat in the village. (Just make sure when they are open). Everything is within walking distance.

Rustig, stil, heerlik. Die dorpie Nieu Bethesda opsig self is 'n belewenis! Die Water Tower is perfek vir twee persone wat oornag. Hoewel dit selfsorg is, het gaste nie nodig om kos te maak nie, omdat daar soveel lekker eetplekke in die dorp is. (Maak net seker wanneer hulle oop is). Alles is binne loopafstand.

Unique, esoteric, comfortable, brilliant. A wonderful and truly unique stay in the heart of Nieu Bethesda. Definitely one of my most memorable accommodations from my road trip.

Excellent accommodation and close to everything nice. A very nice stay after arriving in the rain. Everything was nicely decorated and we slept very well. Friendly reception and close to everything.

Uitstekende verblyf en naby alles wat lekker is. Vreeslik lekker gebly na ons in die reën opgedaag het. Alles was lekker ingerig en ons het baie lekker geslaap. Vriendelike ontvangs en naby alles.

The village is special and something from ancient times, never experienced anything like it. Very unique, not just anyone would be able to sleep in the water tower due to its uniqueness. We had a great stay!

Die dorpie is besonders en iets uit die oertyd, nog nooit so iets beleef nie. Baie uniek, nie enige iemand sal in die watertoring kan slaap nie agv. die uniekheid van dit. Ons het baie lekker gebly!

Very pleasant. Interesting use of an old water tower. I would consider a railing around the stair access upstairs.

A very interesting and nice place to stay that we really enjoyed. It was a very comfortable place to stay and was made for 2 people. Luckily we are still young and mobile enough for the stairs so it was not a problem for us. The bathroom which is outside is not always so comfortable for getting up during the night, but nothing to complain about. The toilet was a compost toilet which was clean and tidy with no smell hanging around, which may not be for everyone, but for us it was not a problem and we really enjoyed our stay. The fact that there was no TV or WiFi was very nice, because who needs that when you are on a weekend getaway. We really enjoyed it. We were within walking distance of everything going on in the small town, which was very comfortable and convenient. Everything was clean and very tidy and there is everything you need.

'n Baie interessante en lekker plekkie om te bly wat ons baie geniet het. Dit was 'n baie gerieflike plekkie om in te bly en is gemaak vir 2 mense. Ons is gelukkig nog jonk en mobiel genoeg vir die trappe en daarom was dit nie vir ons 'n probleem nie. Die badkamer wat buite is, is nie altyd so gemaklik vir deur die nag opstaan nie, maar niks om oor te kla nie. Die toilet was 'n kompos toilet wat skoon en netjies was met geen reuk wat rondhang nie, wat dalk nie vir almal is nie, maar vir ons was dit nie 'n probleem nie en het regtig baie lekker gebly. Die feit dat daar nie 'n TV of WiFi was nie, was baie lekker, want wie het dit nou nodig as jy op 'n wegbreek naweek is. Ons het dit baie geniet. Ons was loopafstand van alles wat in die klein dorpie aangaan, wat baie gemaklik en gerieflik was. Alles was skoon en baie netjies en daar is alles wat jy nodig het.

Hosts were absolutely amazing and very kind. It is accommodation, as they say, for younger people; it will be a unique experience. Very small as it's a water tower.

Affordable stay in small & unique setting. It was exactly as described - an affordable and uniquely styled option for an overnight stay in the heart of Nieu Bethesda. As mentioned in the description, it has steep stairs (upstairs loft mattress bed) and a separately attached bathroom and composting toilet. A basic yet clean and small place with everything you need in the kitchen for a self-catering stay.

Well located in a very interesting town. The Water Tower had everything I needed for a stopover. It was exceptionally hot with unusually many mosquitoes, but at least there was a fan and insect repellent.

Goed geleë in 'n uiters interessante dorp. The Water Tower het alles gehad wat ek nodig gehad het vir 'n oornagpunt. Dit was uitsonderlik warm met buitengewoon baie muskiete, maar daar was darem 'n waaier en insekweerder.

Very weak and not at all for older people or children. I couldn't even get up the stairs, no cleanliness and the parking is small.

Baie swak en glad nie vir ouer mense of kinders. Ek kon nie eers die trappe opkom nie, niks netheid nie en die parkeering is klein.
