Undoubtedly the non photographic highlight was our stay at the 'Old Watchmakers Guesthouse and Bistro'. We only stayed there for one night, and I am sorry we couldn't stay for more..
When I phoned to book I jokingly mentioned that I must be the only person in the country that would travel all the way from Centurion to Bethulie to celebrate his wedding anniversary...! The owner of the Old Watchmakers, Mrs M Frewen, immediately offered to put flowers, champagne and dark chocolate in our room....she also asked if we would like to have dinner...not knowing whats available in town I accepted the dinner reservation.
When we arrived there late the Saturday afternoon we warmly greeted as only South Africans can and shown our superb room. In our room was the champagne, flowers and Lindt dark chocolate..as promised! One must understand that Bethulie is about 200km from the nearest large town where luxury items like this can be purchased... it must have been some effort to get all this for ready for our arrival. The Karoo lamb meal that evening was also superb and was personally made by Mrs M Frewen, the owner. So was breakfast the next morning...
But our biggest surprise was that all this came to a grand total of about R700-00 ( about 70 euro)...!
I can heartily recommend this establishment, and I can honestly say that we were treated like royals!
