About Bethlehem

Bethlehem, in the eastern Free State, sits right on the N5 between Winburg and Harrismith, so it is a natural stopover if you are cutting across from Joburg to Durban. Locals nip through to Clarens or Fouriesburg most weekends, both under an hour away, while longer hauls from places like Stilfontein or even Adelaide show how far this farming town pulls visitors. There is one fast EV charger in town. Bit of trivia: the settlers named the local stream the Jordaan, keeping the biblical theme going.
