The hosts went out of their way to make us comfortable and served a delicious evening meal. Deborah helped us with planning our trip to avoid the worst of the roads. The room was comfortable and the bed divine. Instructions on dstv would have been helpful

We arrived at night and left early the next morning and the Guest Farm is located just outside the town so we didn't get an opportunity to visit Bethulie itself. However, as a pit-stop, it was perfect ... we enjoyed the very pretty drive along the Gariep Dam to get to the farm and were able to hop back onto the highway (near Springfontein) the next morning to resume our journey home. Afraid we didn't have time to visit either the concentration camp memorials or the Royal Hotel book lounge, which were the attractions we knew of.

if interested in history Bethuli offers the history of the site of a Boer War British concentration camp. Trudy Venter curator of the local museum and author of books on the war and surroundings is well worth contacting for a guided tour.

Bethulie has a lost history of the worst Boer War concentration camp set up by the British. Trudie Venter a local resident, Author and historian provided us with insight into the history of Bethuli and surroundings. Bethuli is a very small village, however gives you easy access to the surrounding areas.

I was there for an over night stop on a motorcycle. I visited the Boer Concentration Camp Cemetery - do not leave Bethulie without digging into that hidden part of our history. Also ate at Die Kar pub - good pizza (that is also the only thing I had)

IT IS A VERY SMALL IMPOVERISHED TOWN. BUT HAS A RICH HISTORY, FROM THE BOOK, THE BOY FROM BETHULIE, TO THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS SET UP BY THE BRITHISH IN BETHULIE...GO SEE THE MEMORIAL...VERY SOBERING. LOVELY PEOPLE AND LITTLE 'THINGS' TO OBSERVE
