Each year, thousands of visitors flock to the tiny hamlet of Nieu Bethesda, which is situated off the N9 outside the Eastern Cape town of Graaff-Reinet. These folks visit Nieu Bethesda primarily to see the magical Owl House, injecting vitality into an otherwise stagnant economy, and many of the hamlet’s businesses and individuals rely on the income tourists bring.
