COMMUNITY Nieu- Bethesda, today is a peaceful village which attracts artists and intellectuals who live or holiday in this mountain-retreat where in spring the pear-tree avenue makes a golden highway and the white blossoms welcome the summer. The flourishing farming community patronises the Civic Centre every Saturday and the four tennis courts, badminton court and bowling green are in great demand. The OWL HOUSE is at present the main attraction. Learn the sad, yet inspirational story of Helen Martins and experience the legacy she has left behind. Like all country towns, the town of Nieu-Bethesda has a lovely church, a police station, a small general dealer, craft shops, coffee shops, and the Sneeuberg Brewery and the Fossil Centre. Please note Nieu-Bethesda has no petrol, bank or credit card facilities. Fill up your tank and your wallet before you arrive.
