Abbotsbury Guest House (27 km From Graaff-Reinet)

• Nieu Bethesda
• Graaff-Reinet

Abbotsbury lies off the N9 between Graaff-Reinet and Middelburg, in a small, perfectly-formed valley and a lush, well-tended garden, half way between Johannesburg and the Garden Route. Our Guest Farm offers a restful stay, with great food, game viewing and birding. We are located 27km from Graaff-Reinet and 25 minutes from Nieu-Bethesda.

The main building, originally the Haarhoff family homestead, and now the Scott home, dates from approximately 1827 and has been sensitively restored. The two guest suites are set out around the main garden in a way that allows each unit privacy without sacrificing the enchanting views of surrounding mountains.

Guests stay either in a lovely old cottage, circa 1880; or the new luxury garden suite with its sweeping views of the garden and wild valley in the distance. None lack for character, with polished yellowwood floors, restored old furniture and photographic prints and artwork on the walls. Graham/Sue take your supper orders when you book so as to have a fresh farm supply at the ready (springbok and Karoo lamb pies are specialities) and you are served in your own private dining room with solid silver cutlery and bone china.

Relax in one of the well appointed suites - The Cottage or The Garden.
