Area Info

Between the towns of Mossel Bay and George lies a perfect holiday resort with an endless expanse of golden beach for walkers and anglers with a shallow, sandy lagoon that offers safe swimming and canoeing.

Hartenbos lends itself to family holidays and during school vacations, the tranquil town becomes a bustling seaside destination. The village of Hartenbos started life as a farm granted to Esaias Meyer, a local farmer, as a reward by the Dutch East India Company after he helped shipwrecked sailors. He called the farm Hart en Bosch (deer and bush). Most of the farm was later bought by the Afrikaanse Taal en Kultuurvereniging (Afrikaans language and culture organization) and turned into a holiday resort for its members during the years of apartheid. Today it is still very popular with visitors from Limpopo to the Cape and thousands of people spend their annual summer holiday in Hartenbos.
