Bethanie is a small village in southern Namibia, situated on the C14, which is the shortest route to take when travelling from Western or Northern Cape to Sossusvlei and Swakopmund.
Originally a settlement of the Orlam people, the town was developed as a mission by the London Missionary Society and Rhenish Missionary Society.
In 1814 the Schmelenhaus was built which was for a long time considered the oldest structure in Namibia.
The original Bethanie Hotel was built in 1880 and is therefore the oldest hotel in Namibia.
Centrally located to visit the tourist attractions in the southern part of the country, the rich history and beautiful backdrop of the mountains and breathtaking sunsets make the Bethanie Hotel and Guesthouse the perfect place to stay.
