Friendly. Comfortable. Value for money. Hands-on owners.

This was the first time I stayed at The Ibis Lounge. What a great experience. On arrival, lovely, friendly Barbara met us at the door, showed us our rooms, the pool, and the lounge. Centrally located across the road from the Owl House and right in the centre of town. Excellent comfortable beds and good showers. In the morning, Barbara personally served our delicious breakfasts, which included homemade bread and preserves. We loved our stay at The Ibis Lounge. Next time we're in Nieu Bethesda, we'll stay there again. Thank you, Barbara.

100% worth the detour.

Travelling back from holiday, we needed an overnight stay on the N9. The detour to visit Nieu Bethesda and finding this gem of a guesthouse was an excellent idea and highly recommended. Ibis Lounge has everything you need for a short or longer stay. Rooms are comfortable, parking is secure, and the restaurant on site is a bonus. The team is super friendly and helpful.

Perfek! Gemaklik, netjies en heerlik warm.

Vriendelike ontvangs van die gasheer. Ek was nie honger genoeg om die uitstekende spyskaart te probeer nie. Die elektriese kombers was perfek vir die kapok oornag, en die smaaklike ontbyt net die regte manier om die res van my rit te begin. Dankie, dit was die perfekte oornag kuier!

Dis 'n lekker plek om in te bly, rustig en gemaklik.

Barbara (gasvrou) is baie gasvry. Die linne ens. (het 'n ding vir 'goeie' linne) is heerlik en sag en baie netjies. Ek het gehou van die dekor van die huis en die leef-areas, sowel as die ruim eetkamer met die pragtige klipmuur om die buitedeel van die eetkamer. Die Karoo slaapkamer het pragtige groot deure na buite. Die swembad sal in die somer 'n wenner wees.

Barbara (hostess) is very hospitable. The linen etc. (have a thing for 'good' linen) is lovely and soft and very neat. I liked the decor of the house and the living areas, as well as the spacious dining room with the beautiful stone wall around the outside of the dining room. The Karoo bedroom has beautiful large doors to the outside. The pool will be a winner in the summer.

Netjies en skoon.

Barbara is 'n vriendelike gasvrou wat die heerlikste etes voorsit. Haar personeel is ook baie hulpvaardig en vriendelik. Graag noem ek 'n paar punte wat oorweeg kan word. Gemakstoel in kamer sal gerieflik wees. Rakkie in badkamer vir gaste se toiletware. Kort 'n ekstra handdoekreling in badkamer. Verwyder riffelmatras van bed en belê in 'n goeie, stewige matras.

Barbara is a friendly hostess who serves the most delicious meals. Her staff is also very helpful and friendly. I would like to mention a few points that can be considered. Easy chair in room will be convenient. Rack in bathroom for guests' toiletries. Needs an extra towel rail in bathroom. Remove box mattress from bed and invest in a good, firm mattress.

Pragtige, skoon, luukse akkommodasie.

Die gasvrou het vir ons vooraf 'n pin gestuur met aanwysings na die verblyf, sodat ons die akkomodasie maklik kon kry. Ons was baie vriendelik ontvang deur Barbara en ons het dadelik tuis gevoel. Ons het in die luukse Karoo-kamer gebly met groot 2 groot dubbeldeure wat oopmaak op 'n stoep en wat uitkyk oor 'n pragtige tuin met klomp wit rose wat blom en 'n silwerskoon blou swembad. Die kamer het 'n gemaklike dubbelbed gehad met wit gehaltelinne op die bed asook goeie kussings. Daar was ook 'n elektriesekombers op die bed, wat ons nie gebruik het nie, 'n en suite-badkamer met 'n bad en groot stort, toilet en wasbak. Daar was wit "bath sheets" voorsien wat 'n lekker bederf was om mee af te droog. Die verhitte handdoekreeling was nog 'n bederf. Daar was handeseep, handeroom en badprodukte wat jy kon gebruik. Daar was ook swemhandoeke voorsien. Die TV het DStv gehad en daar was ook gratis Wi-Fi wat baie goed gewerk het. Die dakwaaier maak die kamer lekker koel. Daar is 'n pragtige kas waar jy jou klere kan ophang en ook 'n vollengte spieël. Die yskas het water en vars melk ingehad. 'n Ketel met 'n koffie, tee en suiker stasie was beskikbaar in die kamer. Daar was ook 2 gemaklike stoele om op te sit. Die Ibis lounge het 'n restaurant op die perseel "Stirlings" dit is pragtig gemebuleer en het ook 'n tuinarea waar jy kan sit. Daar is ook 'n kroeg met 'n groot verskeidenheid van wyn om te geniet. Ons het 'n ongelooflike "Karoo experience" met "wine pairing" gehad die aand, elke mens moet dit ervaar, dit is absoluut die moeite werd en 'n belewenis met verskillende wonderlike smaak ontploffings in jou mond. Ons het dit baie geniet. Ons kan The Ibis Lounge aanbeveel as baie goeie verblyf en ons sal graag weer daar wil bly.

Beautiful, clean, luxury accommodation.

The hostess sent us a pin in advance with directions to the accommodation, so that we could find the accommodation easily. We were very kindly received by Barbara and we immediately felt at home. We stayed in the luxurious Karoo room with huge 2 large double doors that open onto a verandah overlooking a beautiful garden with bunches of white roses blooming and a silvery blue swimming pool. The room had a comfortable double bed with white quality linen on the bed as well as good pillows. There was also an electric blanket on the bed, which we didn't use, an en-suite bathroom with a bath and large shower, toilet and sink. There were white "bath sheets" provided which were a nice treat to dry off with. The heated towel rail was another treat. There was hand soap, hand cream and bath products that you could use. Swimming pools were also provided. The TV had DStv and there was also free Wi-Fi which worked very well. The roof fan makes the room nice and cool. There is a beautiful wardrobe where you can hang your clothes and also a full length mirror. The fridge contained water and fresh milk. A kettle with a coffee, tea and sugar station was available in the room. There were also 2 comfortable chairs to sit on. The Ibis lounge has a restaurant on site "Stirlings" it is beautifully furnished and also has a garden area where you can sit. There is also a bar with a large selection of wine to enjoy. We had an incredible "Karoo experience" with "wine pairing" that evening, everyone should experience it, it's absolutely worth it and an experience with different wonderful taste explosions in your mouth. We enjoyed it very much. We can recommend The Ibis Lounge as very good accommodation and we would love to stay there again.

Idyllic small town lodge that doesn't disappoint!

My wife and I stayed here for one night and were sad that we didn't stay longer. Ibis lodge is cosy with a beautiful garden. Our host and chef Barbara, did a Karoo food experience, paying homage to the frontiers that passed through the Karoo. Barbara is incredibly creative, delivering exceptionally tasty and unique dishes. Will definitely go back.

Barbara is 'n uitstekende gasvrou. Ons is met 'n groot glimlag ontvang en het onmiddellik baie welkom gevoel. Die kamers is ruim, skoon en baie gerieflik. On het besluit om aandete by hulle restaurant te geniet en was aangenaam verras met die 6-gang-maal wat Barbara en Johan voorberei het. Dit was in klein porsies, pragtig voorberei, baie smaaklik en kan met groot vrymoedigheid aanbeveel word. Ek sal vir seker weer teruggaan na The Ibis Lounge!

We loved staying at the Ibis Lounge. Our hosts were most accommodating and the Happy Room was very comfortable. Dinner and breakfast were superb.

Super hosts, in spite of a very busy Wine Festival.

If you are looking for peace and quiet, a wine festival is not the time to visit this quaint town, but that is my own fault. The accommodation is perfect - breakfast was lovely and the hosts are amazing. Can definitely recommend.

Dorpie baie geniet. Maar kamer was nie heeltemal op standaard, vir prys wat betaal is nie.

Barbara is regtig 'n pragtige, vriendelike mens. Sy het moeite gedoen om nog 'n ekstra selfgebakte broodjie vir ons te maak. So jammer ons kon nie haar aandetes proe nie, waarvoor sy bekend is. Haar restaurant-gedeelte lyk goed. Ek weet die toerisme bedryf kry swaar, daarom huiwer ek om kritiek te gee. Kamer kort aandag, en ek stel die volgende voor: gordyne vervang met mooi lang blockout-gordyne of hout- of rolblindings, spieël opsit waar kragpunt is langs bed. Mooi, wit dakligte skuif dat dit as bedliggies afhang van dak en ander bedliggies verwyder, om dit netjies te laat lyk, sonder al die kragverlengings, miskien wit verf? Plek is oud, wat karakter gee, maar kan so mooi lyk sonder te veel wat nodig is om gedoen te word.

Village really enjoyed. But room was not quite up to standard, for price paid.

Barbara is really a beautiful, kind person. She made an effort to make us another extra homemade bun. So sorry we couldn't taste her dinners, which she is famous for. Her restaurant part looks good. I know the tourism industry is suffering, so I hesitate to criticize. Room needs attention, and I suggest the following: replace curtains with nice long blackout curtains or wooden or roller blinds, put a mirror where the power point is next to the bed. Nice, white roof lights move that they hang as bedside lights from roof and remove other bedside lights, to make it look neat, without all the power extensions, maybe white paint? Place is old, which gives character, but can look so nice without too much that needs to be done.

Luxurious Neu Bethesda stay.

I absolutely loved the Ibus lounge. The luxurious Karoo room with it's doors opening onto the stoep, made us feel right at home. Loved the decor and amenities in the room. It was great that we could buy drinks on premises to enjoy next to the pool. Breakfast the next morning was most enjoyable with homemade muesli, fruits, eggs, bacon, the whole thing. Great place to stay over on your way to the Garden Route area.

'n Outentieke Karoo-ervaring.

Ibis is ’n perfekte stop tussen Gauteng en die Tuinroete. Dié Karoohuis is goed toegerus en die restaurant bedien uitstekende kos sonder te veel pretensie. Die huis is aan die rand van die dorp, maar lekker sentraal vir rondstap. Privaat en veilig. Ons sal weer hier bly.

Baie dankie, Barbara, vir die heerlike aandetes. Jy mag maar ─ lekker Karoo-kos. Het baie geleer oor veldkruie op die uitstappie waarop jy ons geneem het. Die omgewing pragtig en so rustig. Net wat ons nodig gehad het. Die kruie, tee en skons was heerlik. Net een probleem: ons het nie sneeu gesien nie. Sal beslis weer by jou en Johan kom bly. Voorspoed in hierdie Covid-tyd.

Baie dankie vir 'n heerlike kuier by die Ibis Lounge - ons het ons tydjie baie geniet en die swembad was fantasties in die hitte! Die verblyf was pragtig en gerieflik en ek moet spesiaal vir Barbara dankie sê vir die heerlike verrassing van 'n lekker chocolate verjaarsdagkoek - dit was 'n pragtige gebaar! En ons moet die lamstjoppies en ribs aanbeveel. Ons kom definitief terug!

Aangenaam, rustig, skoon en gemaklik. Sonder steurnisse.

Ek was daar in die middel van die week toe daar min toeriste was in die dorp, en dis moeilik om die res van die dorp te ignoreer in kommentaar oor die Ibis. Die ervaring as 'n geheel was sielsverrykend. Die gemeenskap is die sout van die aarde, en die besienswaardighede 'n pelgrimstog. Die gasheer en -vrou was baie aangenaam en hulpvaardig, die kamers - puik, behalwe dat ek gevind het daar is geen ingeboude kas om jou klere in uit te pak nie. Die ontbyt was effe eina maar smaaklik voorberei. Ek sou graag hulle restaurant wou beproef, maar moes ongelukkig vertrek voor ek dit kon doen.

Pleasant, quiet, clean and comfortable. Without disturbances.

I was there in the middle of the week when there were few tourists in town, and it's hard to ignore the rest of the town in comments about the Ibis. The experience as a whole was soul-enriching. The community is the salt of the earth, and the attractions a pilgrimage. The host and wife were very pleasant and helpful, the rooms great, except that I found there is no built-in closet to pack your clothes. The breakfast was a bit simple but tasty. I would have liked to try their restaurant but unfortunately had to leave before I could.

Barbara met us and upon checking in. She allowed us to change our room to the Amore one with a huge bath. The bed was comfortable and the electric blanket was a real bonus on a coldish night. The WiFi signal was strong and the access to a TV for the latest news was also a plus. We enjoyed a lovely English breakfast prepared by Barbara and Johan. It was a memorable stay and we look forward to returning again.

Quaint but disappointing.

Heather welcomed us in the absence of the owners and was very friendly and helpful. Dinner was memorable and bread served with breakfast was the best we had tasted in a long time. Our bedroom was comfortable and the bathroom was huge with twin washbasins and a double shower but the mould in the shower was very off-putting and there was no cupboard or even a shelf on which to put clothing.

Pragtig en rustig.

Vriendelike en welkome ontvangs. Skoon en netjies, regtig moeite werd om hier te bly. Heerlike aandete, goed voorberei en ontbyt. Baie spesiaal gevoel. Heerlik om in my oupa se huis van jare terug te kon oorbly ... baie herinneringe. Doen so voort. Baie dankie, dit regtig geniet.

Dit was hemel op die platteland!

Barbara en Johan is ongelooflik. Hulle gasvryheid smelt jou hart en jy voel sommer dadelik tuis en soos ou vriende. Barbara se aandag tot detail is fantasies en spesiaal, en hulle kos is uit die boonste rakke.

Besonder aangenaam. Verrassende ervaring van dorp en omgewing.

Baie vriendelike ontvangs. Ongelooflike gasheer en gasvrou wat ons op hande dra met inligting oor dorp, lekker ontbyt en geselskap. Wonderlik dat ou gebou in so 'n doeltreffende gastehuis met al die nodige geriewe omskep is. Een nag was heeltemal te kort om die dorp en omgewing te geniet en te waardeer.

Gasvryheid en heerlike kos, eienaars gaan die ekstra myl met alles!

Sal vir seker weer by die Ibis oornag. Ons het in Desember daar oornag op pad met vakansie en weer op pad terug van Stilbaai af in Januarie. Eienaars gaan uit hul pad uit om gaste te akkommodeer. Ons het tot padkos gekry omdat ons die oggend vroeg wou vertrek! Heerlikste Karoolamstjoppies en beste Creme Brulee ooit. Kamers gerieflik en beddegoed en handdoeke van uitstaande gehalte. Hoogs aanbeveel. Ligging perfek. Fantastiese ondervinding gewees!

Will definitely stay at the Ibis again. We spent the night there in December on our way on holiday and again on our way back from Stilbaai in January. Owners go out of their way to accommodate guests. We even got road food because we wanted to leave early in the morning! Most delicious Karoo lamb chops and best Creme Brulee ever. Rooms comfortable and bedding and towels of excellent quality. Highly recommended. Location perfect. It was a fantastic experience!

Ons was baie beïndruk met die netheid en standaard van die gastehuis. Baie goeie diens en ontvangs en was veral baie beïndruk met die wonderlike bederfies by die bad om van te kies. Hier is 'n fyn sin vir detail wat sorg vir 'n gevoel van bederf en nie slegs 'n oornag-fasiliteit nie. Sal julle HOOGS aanbeveel.

A fabulous stay in a beautifully restored old Karoo house.

A lovely place to stay! The rooms are exceptionally well decorated, everything you need and more! Real milk for your coffee, no sachet coffee - a container of the real thing. Bathrobes, chocolates, etc. There was a problem with our twin room that we booked so they gave us each our own room, but it was no problem. Staff went out of their way to please. Food and their speciality coffee was incredible although we waited a bit long despite pre-ordering. But it's the Karoo. You're in a wonderful location, sit back, relax and enjoy watching the passers' by. You're also just across the way from the Owl House. Only negative is that we couldn't really leave the old fashioned windows open once we went to bed at night as they were not secure. Loved it!

Diamond in the rough worth discovering.

From the moment we arrived until we left, we were made to feel at home and as part of the family. The food is definitely 5 star. As for the accommodation, we were pleasantly surprised by the thought that went into the smallest of details, from the water bottle next to the bed, to the towel heater in the bathroom. The fire pit outside the room made for a lekker kuier with a sundowner in your hand. The hostess, Terry, is such a gracious person and I know that we have made a friend for life.

Pragtige, skoon kamers, lekker beddens, rustige atmosfeer!

Die winkel/restaurant is pragtig en kos heerlik! Kan die Ibis Lounge beslis aanbeveel! 'n Klein yskassie in die kamer sou dalk 'n goeie idee wees. Interessante dorpie - veral die Uilhuis was baie fassinerend! Dit was ons eerste besoek, maar dalk moet mens nie op 'n Sondag oorslaap nie, want net 2 restaurante was oop en darem ook die brouery waar ons die middag die lekker plaaslike bier kon proe! Vriende en familie het vertel dat die dorpie saans lewe kry met perdekarretjies waarop mens kan ry ens maar daar was geen teken daarvan nie - weereens dalk omdat dit Sondag was? Nietemin het ons dit baie geniet om die dorpie te besoek!

The shop/restaurant is beautiful and the food is delicious! Can definitely recommend the Ibis Lounge! A small fridge in the room might be a good idea. Interesting village - especially the Owl House was very fascinating! It was our first visit, but maybe you shouldn't oversleep on a Sunday, because only 2 restaurants were open and at least the brewery where we could taste the nice local beer in the afternoon! Friends and family told me that the village comes alive at night with horse drawn carriages etc but there was no sign of that - again maybe because it was Sunday? Nevertheless, we really enjoyed visiting the village!

Tuis, maar nie by die huis.

Hierdie was 'n wonderlike verblyf ervaring, ons was so spyt ons kon nie nog 'n aand oornag het nie. Dit was so lekker om die mense te ontmoet en het die wonderlike kos, die pragtige netjies en skoon kamers en geriewe te geniet. Baie moeite het in die dekor gegaan, met 'n klomp geriewe in die kamer om jou verblyf net te vergemaklik. 5-ster in my boekie... Sien uit om weer daar om te gaan en by Ibis te gaan bly.
