The Karoo Gariep Nature Reserve (8 000 ha), Khoisan Karoo Conservancy for the Karoo Hippo is between Colesberg and Hanover. We are 8 km off the N1 highway and perfectly situated between Cape Town and Johannesburg, also halfway between Upington (Kalahari) and PE (Garden Route). Our location makes us the perfect halfway-break in South Africa from most destinations.
We pay special attention to nature and the outdoors. You can explore the central Karoo using us as a base, we have the "Sea Caw Vally Meander" whish connect New Bethesda to Hanover and Colesberg by dirt road. These roads can be enjoyed by car as well as on mountain-bike.
New Holme offer a family friendly farm stay experience.
Our activities include early morning birding drives, stargazing from our star deck, hippo sundowner drives, Koi etchings, mountain bike trails and more.
There are three lodges on the conservancy to choose from. Mieliefontein managed by Elma Ferreira, New Holme with P.C. and Marisca Ferreira. Wolmado Self-catering farmhouse (managed by Elma) New Holme and Mieliefontein are 3-star graded farm stays.
We offer excellent "Plaas kos" (Farm Food) 3-course dinners. The meals are an experience and most of our guests stay again and again just for the Karoo Cuisine.

The best overnight spot halfway between Cape Town and Johannesburg.
Always an amazing experience - wonderful hosts, exceptional accommodation (and food!), and set on a beautiful Karoo farm.
Would recommend to anyone!
Great experience! Highly recommended.
Without a doubt the best mid-way stop between Cape Town and Johannesburg (and also great for longer stays!).
PC and the team are great hosts and go above and beyond to show guests the true meaning of Karoo/South African hospitality.
Awesome experience. Can't wait to visit again.
Wonderful stay! The stables were beautiful. Decor very tasteful and the food to die for.
Great overnight stay. Excellent supper and very comfortable accommodation. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Always a pleasure to stay here! PC and his team go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
An excellent establishment - would recommend New Holme to anyone and everyone!
Perfect stayover. The cabin is gorgeous, warm, comfortable. Watch the sunrise and sunset. Meals are simply perfect - delicious and lots of choice. The hosts could not be more generous or accommodating. Favourite stayover, keep going back. It is safe, spacious, private and your every need is taken care of. Great for kids and the elderly if you have any special needs.
Excellent and friendly service, highly recommended!
Wonderful stay - the food and hospitality is out of this world. Love to stay there, never been disapointed.
