Driving into Nieuwoudtville, in non-peak season (Spring is when the area gets a lot of visitors due to flowering bulbs), the town seems rather unassuming and almost sleepy… that perception quickly changes when encountering the friendly locals who are a veritable fountain of information and always keen for a ‘lekker kuier’.
Lunching at 1897 Nedersetting Guest House & Restaurant Just having arrived in Nieuwoudtville, this charming, unpretentious restaurant is a great start with it’s warm and chatty owner who serves up delectable dishes, craft beer and entertaining conversation. The menu itself is hearty and authentic South African cuisine – it is the Karoo so expect a variety of meaty dishes and desserts such as malva pudding.
