About The Water Tower

About The Water Tower

A circular double-storey with an interesting past. This quirky building was first a water tower and then a Buddhist meditation room. With whitewashed walls and wooden floors, it is a calm and clean space from which to enjoy the famous Karoo sky, day or night. The Water Tower sits in a pleasant garden in the heart of Nieu Bethesda. The Water Tower sleeps two guests on a queen-size bed in the room upstairs adjoining the sun&star deck. The kitchenette is below with the private shower and composting toilet attached in a separate outbuilding. Do some stargazing on the deck before cr

Loved the Water Tower. And the compost toilet and the garden and the friendly relaxed atmosphere. Being close to the village and amenities was lovely at the same time as being very peaceful. Recommendations: some hooks or shelves in the bedroom to put clothes and towels on; a trapdoor to close the top of the stairs when you are in the bedroom. The hole in the floor is bit scary.

It should be clarified in the information that this is part of a backpackers experience. The toilet and bathroom are outside. The cooking facilities are very basic. There is no conformable seating. However, the hosts are friendly, the facilities were clean and the bed comfortable.

I loved the location - next to the Art Centre Restaurant and one block from the Owl House.The layout of the water tower is quirky and fun. I liked the deck and bedroom. The toilet is an organic 'long drop' but clean and easy to use. Really fun and a visit I will remember of fondly. Great breakfast!

I stayed at the Outsiders House. Dog friendly, an arty feel which is rare because all the furnishings are unique and well displayed. Great taste overall. High quality bedding which is not mass produced and has an individual touch. Clean and quite. Will definitely stay there again. Thanks. A lot to do in the small hidden gem of a town.
