Don’t miss a visit to the Sneeuwitjie Creche. A community initiative, this gives you the chance to see the other side of Nieu Bethesda life. Local township women have formed a programme for children in need involving education, guidance and meals. The crèche relies largely on external support, and the best way to give this is by having a meal in the restaurant. Crèche supervisor Dorah Oliphant will make sure, like the kids under her charge, that no one goes home hungry. Fresh Karoo lamb with homemade bread and ginger beer is a common meal, but it does cater for vegetarians. Ask Dorah about meeting local township residents.
