The Village Inn - Nieu-Bethesda

Nieu Bethesda about 50km from Graaff Reinet and the drive is quite scenic Last bit of the road is gravel and there had been some flooding recently so they were working on parts of the road The Owl House we found a bit odd and eerie at times. A sad and dark story. Some of the artwork was also interesting and a bit weird at the same time. Guess if you into art it maybe a bit more meaningful The place is fairly easy to find and some really nice old houses in the town. It's important to note they only take cash or snapscan. The tour starts off with a video of Helen Martins life and then you head off into the house, all self guided

I've been to the Owl House three times and I've loved it each time. The statues all over the place and Helen's use of light and the materials at hand is incredible. It is like a different perspective on life.

Very interesting. I wouldn’t say it’s beautiful. Rather a closer look at a clearly troubled woman’s artistic expression. Slightly creepy but worth the visit. We also bought a book from a wonderfully stocked gift shop.

Wow, this was worth the detour. Such beautiful pieces and having watched the little video beforehand, we were so astonished. Well-worth a visit!

An unexpected lunch stop n the quaint village of Nieu Bethesda. Good, wholesome food. The chicken schnitzel was huge and the coffee was the best!
