Beschreibung
I live in Nieu Bethesda with my 3 boys. We live in a remote village in the Karoo region in South Africa. Farm small scale with cows which we milk for making cheese. Also many other animals and vegetable production for home use. Also farm with bees along natural beekeeping principles. Have a small microbrewery and restaurant where we serve our cheeses and beers. Also small coffee roastery. Beautiful part of the country with hot summers and cold winters.

Every day there was something new to learn or explore. I’ve learned how to make soft cheese, roast coffee, got the chance to get honey from the bee hives and to serve the customers and work at a wedding.
I definitely would have stayed longer if I haven’t already booked my flight.
Thanks again… read more

I had a great time at the brewery. This place is quiet and very different from everything. You can do a lot of sports, hikes, eat nicely in the small restaurant in town and have fun at the bar. You won't spend much money because you don't need to.
I learnt a lot from Andre about beer, bees, cheese, coffee etc.… read more

We had a truly wonderful time with you guys in Nieu Bethesda. We only wish we could have stayed longer. Nevertheless, we learned a lot during our too short stay. The brewing, cheese-making and coffee-roasting processes were particularly fascinating, and it was really nice that you made a point to share your… read more
