Vacation rentals in Hanover

To see the workings of a multi-generational family farm, stay in a 170 year old house with beautiful high-quality furniture and fittings, and engage with a kind and gentle-natured farmer and his wife…was wonderful. A gentle desert rain arrived as we got there and set the tone for one of the most restful holidays we have ever had. The farmer’s 2 dogs popped in every now and again and made themselves part of the family. Richard and Anika were accommodating and quick to sort out anything we asked for. The house was spotlessly clean and filled with history from the 1800s. There was a sense of warmth with the people living / working on the farm as well. The drive to Nieu Bethesda was around 15min going up a gorgeous gentle pass which presented something new every time we travelled. The highlight of the stay was walking up the hill behind the house and sitting on the bench overlooking the farm, valley, and mountains at sunset. Thank you Richard and Anika (our kids say hi).

Amazing stay, way off the main roads, so peaceful and quiet. Beautiful surroundings. Perfect for an overnight stop while travelling through, house has everything you need, very neat,tidy and comfortable.

After a long road on our way to Knysna, this was a wonderful stopover. It is a bit far off the main road and therefore it will be better to stay there for another day. It is rest for the soul. Diane is a superb host. This farm house experience will stay in our memories for a long time. We travel to and from Knysna often, and we will definitely be visiting again. Thanks for a lovely place to stay.

Jaco is an excellent host and the cottage the perfect half way stop between Johannesburg and Cape coast. You are surrounded by great views of the mountains and sheep grazing in the lush fields surrounding the cottage. I would really recommend this to anyone for an overnight stop or even a couple of days of relaxation in the countryside.

Very friendly and great host to have when staying over at places. Will definitely stay here when passing by to CPT.

There were only 3 of us but the cottage caters for 6. The area is stunning, it had snowed and Hester kept me informed as to the state of the roads due to the snow. The cottage was cosy, had a wood fire and electric blankets so perfect.

The property is well located with everything you need! Clean and exactly as the photos! The host was responsive and gave clear instructions! I can recommend this property should you wish to experience Nieu Bethesda! Thank you Jaco! We will definitely stay with you again

Our holiday to CT started with a road trip and a beautiful intimate stay at xxxx farm. It’s 50km by dust road into the heart of Karoo (Western Cape). The drive in the mountains is an adventure for the family in itself. Then you arrive at the Farm. On arrival you met by a beaitiful young local family with 4 young kids, who immediately treat you like family. The cottage is on next to their main home which means you feel like a part of their generational Karoo family. The cottage is beautiful, 2 bedrooms, each curated with all your needs. The balcony under a grape vine is an absolute dream setting. The garden, a large area of green grass with all sorts of animals roaming from chickens, 2 giant tortoises lovely dogs and more… the perfect setting for a braai. The braai wood is like fire dust, crackels and burns into perfect ash for cooking… The mornings start with a roosting chicken who awakens you to a Karoo sunrise. The house and setting is perfect for kids and an active family
