168 guests' feedbackVery nice stay, the hostess made us feel very much at home.
Fantastic. Thank you very much for the best sleep. Luxurious bedding and pillows were the best.
We loved every moment of our stay at Meerkat and appreciated the friendliness of the hostess and the staff. If you love going off the beaten track, it is a destination and accommodation I would recommend. Despite its relative isolation, the town has a wide variety of attractions that can keep one occupied and the people are welcoming and friendly.
Very nice stay. Clean and tidy. Friendly reception.
Nice, relaxing and peaceful.
Was there for Stoep Tasting. Great place to stay.
Always a lovely stay. The host is attentive and the room is well appointed and comfy.
We had a very nice stay. Everything was very neat and clean in a very peaceful environment.
We appreciate the fine finishing of the place and hospitable reception.
Unbelievably beautiful surroundings, peacefulness by itself and just everything you need. Definitely a must.
We were kindly received. The accommodation was extremely neat and very well equipped. We will use the accommodation again.
It's our 2nd time staying at the accommodation to be spoiled with the beautiful surroundings and Tutti's wonderful hospitality and excellent communication and help with anything requested.
This place to spend the night is probably one of the nicest, most comfortable places I've ever spent the night in, and also one of the most beautiful places in the country. The owners are very friendly and helpful. We were generously received and could rest wonderfully on the couch or most comfortable king-size bed ever in the lovely cool living area or the leafy garden. The kitchen is well equipped and everything is neat, clean and looks brand new. We felt very safe and could relax wonderfully. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for accommodation in this region. You won't regret it!
The unit was very comfortable and cool in the summer heat. There was a table under two large trees in the private yard in front of the unit where one could sit and relax.
Fantastic place to stay, tidy and incredible hospitality.
Friendly welcome and very helpful hostess who went out of her way to help us with arrangements for freezer facilities that we suddenly needed for our trip. Accommodation very neat and clean, peaceful surroundings and residents and neighbors very friendly and helpful.
The room was perfectly appointed, with everything you need. It's quiet and safe. The big bed is a winner!
Very convenient. Lovely bed.
We had a wonderful stay.
Only one night. Room was well equipped and clean.
Lodging equipped with a traveler's overnight needs. Particularly quiet and peaceful.
Well equipped, clean and comfortable accommodation. Had a warm welcome and no problems with check-in. Was definitely worth driving the 20 km into.
Well received, clean and tidy accommodation.
Nice stay yes thank you - cozy place with a nice braai. A little far out from the center of town, and if the river is flowing you can't get into town on foot.
Very nice stay, thank you.
Unforgettable! I would definitely stay here again.
I would recommend it to anyone looking to stay overnight in Bethesda. We stayed one night on our way to Plettenberg. The hostess was very friendly and provided us with good information about places to visit and good restaurants in town. The place was clean and safe to stay.
Tutti is a gracious host! She even came around with some clean towels the day before we left. Her accommodation was super comfortable for 2 people and is within easy walking distance to explore all Nieu-Bethesda has to offer. My sister and I loved our stay!
Friendly reception by Tutti. Very neat, tasteful accommodation. Beautiful, peaceful surroundings. Will definitely stay longer next time.
Great place to stay, friendly landlords, quality linen, friendly dogs, braai area and the best rusk! Lovely place and very private and peaceful.
Tuti, hostess, very friendly and helpful. Accommodation: very clean and comfortable. I am also going to buy myself such a lovely comfortable big bed, the linen is "to die for". New Bethesda is a historic place that stands still in time. Visit the cemetery, now that's an experience. Eating places are good, decide what you want to eat and where. Will visit Meerkat again.
What a gem here in the Karoo. Beautiful and luxurious accommodation in the precious place. Hostess and service were top notch.
We only stayed one night, but Meerkat is suitable accommodation for a whole weekend or longer. Next time we would like to light a fire in the braai place outside in the garden and enjoy the view! The place is beautifully clean and tidy. It was a cold night, but we slept wonderfully warm. Lovely soft bed and luxury linen. Thank you Tutti!
Our stay at Meerkat was wonderful. The apartment is private, is located in a quiet part of town with little traffic, there is safe parking, the service is excellent and the recommendation regarding places to eat were spot on. The hostess showed particular generosity to accommodate our inconvenience. make load shedding easier. We will definitely stay there again, this time probably longer.
Meerkat is beautifully clean and tidy. The linen is luxurious and cuddly and the electric blankets very handy in the bitterly cold Karoo. There is everything you need for an overnight stay, with stylish crockery. Tutti is a friendly hostess who cares about her guests.
Linens and pillows are remarkable. Excellent quality. Will definitely recommend. The sink in the bathroom is Tutti's own handiwork and a masterpiece. Will definitely recommend.
Nice touches like electric blankets, Wi-Fi during load shedding, etc.
To one side, away from main house, so you are nice and private. Silver clean inside. Comfortable large bed with clean white bedding, and electric blanket for the winter. Nice warm duvet. Bathroom with shower (no bath). Towels new, clean and pure white. Couch and small dining table for two. Well equipped kitchen, just bring your food. Outdoor barbecue area with grill. Large outside area with garden furniture, grass and pecan trees for coolness in the summer. Secure parking. Very friendly hosts.
We had a great time at Meerkat. The unit is well located and within walking distance of all attractions in the village. The unit is very well equipped with everything one would need for a lovely long weekend or a little longer visit. Meerkat offers really good value for money and we would definitely recommend the place to anyone who wants to visit New Bethesda.
Very neat and clean. Will definitely use Meerkat again.
The hostess, Tutti, was very kind to accommodate us before the normal check-in time. Information regarding roads to New Bethesda, places to eat and things to do was sent to us prior to our arrival. It just makes everything so much easier. The unit is very comfortable with everything we needed. Meerkat is also within walking distance of the town center and Uilhuis. Thank you very much Tutti, we had a great stay.
Friendly welcome, would recommend the place anytime.
Meerkat is very secure with parking behind 2 gates. I can definitely recommend Meerkat, for even longer periods as well.
See stars.
Tutti was so lovely and welcoming! She left us to our own devices, but said we could knock on her door if we needed anything. Highly recommend!
We will definitely stay here again!
Tutti went out of her way to spoil us. Delicious chocolates on the bed, nice big bed and wonderful bath towels!
We had a great stay and were able to go for a nice walk in the area.
Very friendly welcome and can recommend the place for an overnight stay or weekend break.
Friendly and helpful hostess. Unit is beautiful in a well kept garden. Unit has everything we needed.
Exquisite and peaceful accommodation.
The room was equipped with all necessities and the host took care of our needs.
Lovely setting and nice and quiet.
Nice, peaceful stay. It was clean and tidy.
The stay at Meerkat was excellent. The place was tidy and the bedding crisp. We can recommend Meerkat with great confidence.
Meerkat was the best.
The lighting in the room was not good. It was very uncomfortable to do make up and hair with no direct light.
Beautiful, clean, neat and stylish. Add lovely people-people as hosts. One night was too short.
It was an incredible experience of kindness and caring. A visit to New Bethesda should be on every traveler's bucket list. To clear it up is the accommodation at Meerkat. The reception and cleanliness at Meerkat makes you not want to travel further.
The Meerkat is a very neat and well appointed place. I had a great time and was kindly received. The small garden and table for hanging out in the garden was a pleasant surprise. There is also a beautiful view of the mountains.
This is our second time staying here. Beautiful garden. Neat, clean. Nice big bed. Soft bedding. Quiet. We also had a nice barbecue the 1st night.
We had a wonderful stay and a big thank you to the friendly and helpful hostess!
The guest house is out of town in a quiet street, yet close to all the other interesting places.
Our well-equipped room opened onto a private garden with a view of the mountains. Would highly recommend.
Had a great stay and enjoyed the silence and beautiful village.
Right place to stay overnight on the way to Pta.
Tutti looked at us so well. Love the village and Meerkat is the perfect overnight stop. Room has everything needed, was very neat, spacious, stylish and clean. You won't find better value for money. Wifi was still available through load shedding which was a big plus.
Beautiful room and bathroom. Hostess very friendly. Very private. Would definitely recommend.
Very nice and peaceful.
Unfortunately only overnight.
We had everything we needed and the bed slept very well. Lovely mattress.
Location perfect for exploring town on foot. Nice garden and braai area. Hostess friendly and very helpful.
Our host was warm and friendly. The unit was spacious, clean, quiet and comfortable.
Neat and fully equipped. Had a great sleep. Ideal location. Very neat place. Well equipped, safe and an ideal location.
I think this place needs a bit of renovation. Especially the aged bathroom. Kitchenette could also do with a built in gas hob and oven. The hostess Tuti.
Extremely neat guest apartment with a view of a mountain. Clean and stylishly furnished with everything you need to stay self-sufficient. Outdoor barbecue with garden chairs ensures a peaceful barbecue. Secure parking with two beautiful dogs. The nice hostess made sure that our stay was pleasant. We will definitely go back.
Warm welcome. Tutti told us more about New Bethesda, but because of the rain we couldn't visit places. Stylish place, thank you Tutti for all the little things that made us feel welcome.
Meerkat is ideal. The facilities are beautiful and have everything one needs. We had a great time.
Comfortable, neat, clean and well equipped. Tutti who always welcomes you warmly. It almost feels like we are visiting family. The peaceful surroundings, delicious shade under the pecan trees during the day and Karoo stars at night will always make us come back to charming Meerkat.
Very spacious and tidy room. We felt very welcome and will definitely stay again if we are in the area again.
Enjoyed our stay. Would have preferred a shower door.
A beautiful place to sleep awaits. We had a great time in the garden in front of the fire, slept peacefully and could just relax. Tutti the owner is thorough and hospitable and made sure we had everything we needed. We definitely recommend Meerkat.
It was better than the pictures. Tutti is a very friendly person. The setting was beautiful. I am recommending it to friends who want to visit Nieu-Betheseda.
I would recommend Meerkat to anyone. The owner told us all about the town, we walked and saw the town. It was a festival.
Meerkat is well situated out of the main street and off the dusty roads. You look out onto a pretty garden and see two mountains in the background. The decor and bedding are excellent and although the unit is small, the owners have achieved miracles with the space. We would definitely stay again if in the area. The apartment was very clean and everything worked.
Meerkat is beautifully clean and tidy, the bed sleeps wonderfully and the linen is luxurious. Small but everything needed for a peaceful few days. Thank you Tutti for your hospitality. Good luck and blessings to you.
What a wonderful experience to sleep over here! The unit is excellently furnished, attention has been paid to the smallest detail. The linen and bedding are luxurious with very comfortable sleeping pillows. Delicious barbecue place with private seating and secure parking.
The hostess, Tutti, was very accommodating to receive us late Friday. Our stay was great. Quiet, safe environment.
Tutti and Charles made our stay so enjoyable, felt like we have known each other for years! Thank you for a great stay!
Had a great time at Meerkat. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
Nice view. Neat room. Will make sure to stay longer next time, thanks.
It's a beautiful place and very friendly host and hostess. Very nice stay.
Lovely stay and Yvonne made us feel very welcome. Nice and private with a nice braai area and little garden under the shade trees. Car safe.
We once again had such a nice stay at Meerkat. The chalet is nice and private and the view beautiful. Deliciously eaten at the slippers in the orchard. Thank you to Tutti and Charles for always being so friendly and hospitable. Looking forward to staying with you again.
Couldn't have asked for better service!
Apartment is superbly located in a very quiet area with a view of Kompasberg, walking distance from the town centre, restaurants, Uilhuis and micro-brewery. Secure parking within yard with outdoor barbecue and patio set under shade trees. Free Wi-Fi. No TV, but it contributes to rest for soul and body. Owners very friendly and helpful.
The location of the property is such that it is within walking distance of the town center but not in the town centre. It suited us exactly.
We were pleasantly surprised by the location of the Meerkat, both in terms of the side of town that it is located on and being private from the hosts' house on the same property. The room is thoughtfully put together with everything we sometimes miss at other places, like electrical blankets and sufficient plug points.
Only stayed overnight, unfortunately everything was then in Nieu-Bethesda due to Covid.
Got a lot of information from the hostess.
The cottage is what one would expect from a self-catering unit. Everything was there and worked. But the biggest plus is the spacious lawn and garden with barbecue area and garden furniture that make it special. And that it is nice and secluded.
We enjoyed our stay. It was comfortable and neat.
Very neat facilities. We liked the neat, clean bed linen.
The accommodation is beautiful. So much attention is paid to the little things. The place is tastefully decorated and cozy warm in the winter.
Nieu-Bethesda has healing waters and flowing peace, as Anton Goosen describes it.
Tutti friendly and warm. Beautiful surroundings and private accommodation, but close to the village.
The room has got everything necessary for overnight stay, maybe smallish, but compensated for by private outdoor area with a great braai.
We enjoyed our stay. What a stylist and welcoming oasis in this part of the Great Karoo.
Very hospitable, good conversation and very friendly welcome. Neat, clean and cozy. Would definitely recommend to those looking for accommodation in the area. Can't wait to go back again.
Enjoyed a lot. Neat, comfortable.
This was our 2nd time staying at Meerkat and it was again a lovely experience. Everything is clean and tidy and the bed sleeps wonderfully. The chalet is very nice and private and equipped with everything you need. We would definitely like to stay here again in the future.
No effort is spared. Charles is a true host.
A unique place among the dry Karoo mountains. An oasis of a breathtaking garden. One walks through a demarcated front garden that is raised very privately but still with a beautiful view. The room itself is well maintained and pleasantly decorated. It feels like the master bedroom of a farmhouse, but with a modern eye. Would recommend it as a stopover on the way to the South Coast or as a place to stay while visiting the dream world of the Karoo.
Quick overnight stop in NB. Friendly owners and really comfortable room.
Being a city girl I missed having a TV in my room. Also I think guests should be informed that there are no ATM and card facilities available. This will help and prepare guest to carry cash. But in general a good place if you want to away from the hassle of the city and connect with nature.
Comfortable and neat, a bit small
Everything you need for a short stay is there. Coffee, milk and biscuits are also provided. There was also a beautiful bunch of roses from her garden.
Had a wonderful stay at Tutti and Charles' Meerkat. Clean, tidy, cute, private garden with grass and trees for shade in the hot Karoo summers, braai area, wood and firelighters for sale, shaded parking for your vehicle. Quieter surroundings (not that the town is particularly busy and noisy), but still only a few minutes' walk from the Uilhuis and places to eat. Electric blanket for the winters on the giant queen size bed. The kitchen only has the basics, so you won't be able to whip up a three-course meal there. But with the eating places (about eight) in the town and the braai place, you don't have to start cooking. There is a microwave, kettle, pan and frying pan, fridge, toaster and cutlery, so you will be fine if you want to make something light for dinner.
Receive valuable information about New Bethesda in advance with restaurant recommendations. After reception we were surprised with delicious fruit cake to enjoy with our afternoon coffee. Definitely recommend and we will also stay at the Meerkat again on a next visit.
Meerkat is accommodation that also pays attention to small, thoughtful details and makes your stay delightfully relaxed. Owner was also very helpful regarding village things. Was a pleasant experience and we will visit again.
Onvergeetlik! Dankie vir goeie diens.
Nicely clean and very friendly service. Everything one needs. Owner also made great recommendations for places to eat.
Meerkat is by far the best self-catering guesthouse we have stayed in. The room is exceptionally spacious and well-equipped with all imaginable fittings - I could even bake pancakes one cold wet evening. Everything is neat and tidy and we liked that it was so quiet at night and dark without lights burning all night. Tutti and Charles were very friendly and immediately made us feel at home. They shared valuable information about their village and the environment with us. If we could, we would have wanted to stay there for a few more days. We can definitely recommend Meerkat Guest House to anyone who wants to visit Nieu Bethesda and the surrounding area.
Meerkat offers stylish, spacious and comfortable accommodation and we will come here again.
Wonderful reception and everything I needed was available. Had a great restful night after travelling for 8 hours. The Owl House visit was incredible. What a unique site. I am very glad I stopped over at Nieu-Bethesda. Very worthwhile.
Another gem of a place just right for us quiet people. Was lovely. Wish we could stay longer. Will go again.
Excellent overnight accommodation where you are warmly welcomed by the owner, with all kinds of little extras that make the stay that much more enjoyable. Lovely peaceful place to sleep, away from the town centre, but close enough to be able to walk to everything. Highly recommended!
Very clean and neat. Quiet and peaceful. Friendly reception. Within walking distance of everything.
Our host and wife were exceptionally hospitable and very helpful! The guest house is beautiful and very well equipped. The private garden with table and chairs is a big plus. We will definitely stay at the Meerkat again! Love the place and its people.
Our stay was unforgettable. Tutti is a hostess times 1000 and if we needed anything, it was there. Meerkat will definitely see us again!
Good location, friendly host and hostess in a neat place in a quiet area.
Thank you, Meerkat, for the nice stay! Quiet and comfortable and very tasteful with attention to small detail such as even an electric blanket for the cold nights.
Meerkat's accommodation is well-equipped and it had everything needed for two people. Neat, spacious with lots of fresh air and near the beautiful scenery of Nieu-Bethesda. The owners also make one feel at home immediately. The town has an old world charm and people are friendly everywhere.
We found the accommodation very clean, modern and comfortable with every necessary facility and convenience. The hosts are very friendly and obliging, offering advice on attractions, restaurants, etc. They went out of their way to suggest an alternative approach to Skypeing my daughter before we arrived, waited until we arrived and even put a welcoming chocolate on each of our pillows. It was one of the nicest self-catering units we have stayed in.
Shower needs some attention. That's all.
The accommodation was lovely, clean and the bed slept great. Thank you very much for everything.
See stars.
Met our requirements 100%. Nice, tidy, clean and what was really great was the milk, fruit juice and biscuits, although it was actually a self catering unit. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
The unit was very well equipped with everything and more that one needs. A delightful walking distance to everything and more in New Bethesda. Tuttie was very helpful and friendly. Real 5 star accommodation and I can highly recommend it!
Nice, cosy, comfortable, quiet, super. Hosts all in all just perfect.
I can really recommend this place to stay. It's clean, tidy, beautiful, well appointed... I could go on. The room is wonderfully warm even though we were there in July and the hospitality could not have been better. Charles and Tuti are very pleasant people - it was like visiting with friends. The location was unbeatable - within walking distance of the Owl House and the fossil centre. If you want to vacation in New Bethesda, don't even think twice - stay at Meerkat!
Very friendly reception by Charles and his dogs. Compact and effective accommodation, located outside hustle and bustle of the village.
We’ve had a lovely stay at Meerkat in Nieu-Bethesda. The hostess, Tutti Graham, provided us with plenty of extremely useful information before going to the little town (like having cash available since there are no ATM's, which roads to follow and much more). The unit is very tastefully decorated, comfortable and it is certainly notable that a lot of thought has gone into predicting and meeting guests needs! The unit has a private entrance, parking and garden area and we enjoyed a peaceful braai under the Karoo stars.
We had such a nice stay at Meerkat and want to stay there longer next time. The hospitality, privacy, fresh flowers and chocolates on the pillows meant so much to us. Definitely see you again in the future.
Friendly welcome by our hostess, Tutti. We are fully informed about attractions and restaurants. The unit is tasteful and fully equipped.
I stayed for the 2nd time at Meerkat and can recommend it highly - the best stay in town.
Nice stay in a beautiful environment. We were able to shut down properly. Only the shower is a bit neat, that's all, the rest was fantastic.
The quiet and peace is really something to write home about.
Would definitely recommend it. The accommodation is very private but close to everything.
We spent three days at Meerkat. We enjoyed the following: Privacy, security, hygiene, quiet environment, friendly and helpful host and wife, lovely large heated bed.
Very friendly reception, lovely bed and tastefully furnished. Beautiful view from room and good lighting and outdoor barbecue facilities. Only negative is the shower curtain that wants to stick to you. We can definitely recommend Meerkat.
We had such a nice stay at Meerkat and the hostess was very helpful. The private braai area is an absolute winner and the location unbeatable!
What a beautiful spot in the heart of New Bethesda! The room is lovely and has everything you need. Our hostess was out of town, but she arranged for a friend to open for us. We had a small crisis in the evening but the hostess was available even late at night on Whatsapp and we were able to sort it out. Go stay here if you want to experience Karoo hospitality!
The hosts were impeccable and gave directions without asking! There is a delicious braai place and I saw that there is the necessary salt and pepper. The kitchen is fully equipped! The linen and towels are very nice! Would recommend Meerkat anytime! Thank you Tutti!
Pleasant hosts, beautiful location and a well appointed unit made for a great stay.
Definitely recommend Meerkat - friendly, lovely unit with cozy yet private facilities.
Can highly recommend Meerkat. For me one of the better accommodation options in New Bethesda.
Was delicious and would recommend it for sure.
Had a very nice time! Most beautiful place. Peaceful atmosphere.
We were warmly welcomed by the owner of Meerkat, Tuti Graham. She also informed us about all the places to eat and attractions on New Bethesda. There were also appendices in the room to read. Will definitely stay there again. Just a pity we couldn't experience the ride with Jacob on the donkey cart, as it was raining.
Fantastic scenery, the unit is superbly appointed, everything is crisp, super clean and so much attention to detail. What made the whole experience even more special was the effort the owners made to forward a lost item. This is definitely a winning place to stay, we recommend it wholeheartedly - thank you Charles and Tutti!
The unit was clean, sensible, private and the host helpful and friendly.
Beautiful unit in quiet, safe and private area. Hostess Tutti very helpful with lots of information about New Bethesda's attractions and places to eat. Friendly reception, good service and good value for money. Will definitely stay here again.
The stay was great, everything was spotless and new, hostess/gentleman could make good recommendations what to visit and where to eat well.
We were warmly welcomed in the cutest village. Stay was excellent. Just missed a bath to relax in after a long day's travel, but otherwise everything was perfect.
Tutti and Charles are very nice people who warmly welcomed us. The place is private, very clean and has everything you need for a peaceful stay, including the most beautiful view. Parking is safe and in our opinion the best place to stay and park in New Bethesda.
I would recommend this place to live anytime. Efficient, clean, tidy and well equipped.
