Perfect stopover for pets (and humans). Linda is a warm, welcoming host and was very eager to please. The room was clean and well equipped. Our dog absolutely loved the fenced-off garden area after a long day in the car. Coming from the N1, the R701 into Bethulie had terrible potholes but beautiful views of Gariep Dam. The R715 had no potholes and was a much quicker option.

Bethul is a little out of the way from the N1 but worth the detour. We had a very nice stay and enjoyed delicious pizzas at the Ou Kar restaurant, it's just a shame the roads in town, both tar and dirt, are in such poor condition.

Bethul is bietjie uit die pad vanaf N1 maar moeite werd om draai te maak. Baie lekker gebly en lekker pizzas geniet by die Ou Kar restaurant, net jammer die paaie in die dorp, beide teer en grond, is in so 'n swak toestand.

When we drive through Bethulie again, this is our overnight stop. Man, Linda is a very approachable woman. Such a friendly person. The unit is beautifully decorated with everything you need to relax after a long day on the road.

As ons weer deur Bethulie ry, is dit ons oorslaapplek. Man, is Linda nou 'n raakvat vrou. So 'n vriendelike persoon. Die eenheid is pragtig mooi met alles wat jy nodig het om te ontspan na 'n lang dag op die pad.

Relaxed atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of the city. If anyone wants to experience true South African hospitality, where the extra mile is gone, visit The Farmers Cottage in Bethulie.

Ontspanne atmosfeer weg van die stad se gewoel. As enige iemand eg Suid-Afrikaanse gasvryheid wil ervaar, waar die ekstra myl geloop word, besoek The Farmers Cottage in Bethulie.

Pleasantly surprised, clean elegant farm life, a must for a tired city dweller. Linda, who welcomed us, radiated kindness, genuine caring and helpfulness. It had been a long time since we had felt at home, and what a delicious breakfast she served.

Aangenaam verras, skoon elegante plaaslewe, 'n moet vir 'n moeg stadsjapie. Linda wat ons ontvang het, straal van vriendelikheid, opregte omgee en hulpvaardigheid. Het lanklaas tuis gevoel, en wat 'n smaaklike ontbyt wat sy voorgesit het.

Quiet retreat. Lovely stay. The welcome was very friendly. Must say that the electric blanket was a winner.

Stil toevlugsoord. Heerlik gebly. Die verwelkoming was baie vriendelik. Moet sê dat die elektriese kombers 'n wenner was.

Recommended stay over in a very nice cottage! The warm welcome on arrival made us feel instantly at home. The setting of the cottage close to the centre of Bethulie with shops, bars etc. is also very good.

I won't book again. No! The furniture in the cottage was not appropriate at all. Fireplace is not suitable for the size of the room it is supposed to heat. Bathroom has no hooks to hang clothes or shelves in the shower. No hot water in the morning.

Msal nie weer boek nie. Nee! Die meubels in die kothuis was glad nie gepas nie. Kaggel is nie geskik vir die grootte van die vertrek wat dit moet verhit nie. Badkamer het geen hakke om klere op te hang of rakke in die stort nie. Geen warm water in die oggend nie.

We will be back! We loved it. Beautiful farm stay. The cottage had all we needed and Linda was a lovely host. Breakfast was delicious. The pool was also a welcome treat after a long day in the car. To future guests, bring your electric mosquito repellent! Suggestion to the host for hot nights in the Karoo: please provide a flat sheet.

Comfortable and good value. It was again a very good experience. The place is well appointed and comfortable. The enclosed garden is excellent for dogs and we feel very safe there.

Gerieflik en goeie waarde. Dit was weereens 'n baie goeie ervaring. Die plek is goed ingerig en gerieflik. Die omheinde tuin is uitstekend vir honde en ons voel baie veilig daar.
