Tucked away in the folds of the Sneeuberg mountains, 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.
