The town of ‘Bethulie’ set in the Free State Province in South Africa is one the country’s hidden gems dating back to before 1829, when the San (aboriginal peoples of Southern Africa known as bushmen) knew it as T’Kout’Koo. Soaked in early settler history the area offers the off the track explorer a totally unique experience of history, art, culture, nature and some of the best trails in the country. The name aptly means ‘chosen by God’ and describes the beauty of the grassy Karoo surroundings and not too distant hilly mountains that surround the area. Bethulie Guest House (previously The White House Guest Farm) was built in 1924 by Mr Pellesier (a descendant of one of the founding families of Bethulie) for his daughter by one of his friends the renowned architect Sir Herbert Baker, one of the most well-known architects in South African history. Sir Herbert Baker, a British architect, is most famous for his work on the Union Buildings, the seat of government in South Africa completed in 1915 as well as Groot Constantia, the Rhodes Memorial and St George’s Cathedral in Cape Town among others.
