A Hartenbos classic, refreshed

Easy coastal holidays, right on the river.

Hartenbos is one of the most popular resorts along the south coast of the Western Cape; thousands of residents from the northern provinces spend their annual summer holiday here. “Everything Under the Sun” is the slogan that personifies Hartenbos, with its whitewashed beaches, calm sea and Mediterranean climate. As part of the Garden Route and the Whale Route, situated between Mossel Bay and George, this tranquil town is the ideal destination for family holidays.
