Bethulie Guest Farm (previously the White House Guest Farm) was built in 1924 by Mr Pellisier ( 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 Bake, a British architect, is most famous for his work on the Union Buildings, the seat of government in South African completed in 1915 as well as Groot Constantia, the Rhodes Memorial and St George's Cathedral in Cape Town among others.
The guest house, now almost 100 years old, is steeped in history. it has been lovingly maintained over the years with may of its original features and decor remaining and offers a truly unique hospitality experience.
