Self-Catering Holiday Homes in Hartenbos

Holiday homes in Hartenbos are a smaller set than the apartments but they are what the town was built around: free-standing houses on flat streets, walking distance to the beach or the river mouth, with a braai, a yard and room to park a boat or a caravan. The format has barely changed since the resort era began in the 1930s, and neither has the way people use it — the same families come back to the same streets.

This is the practical choice for two families travelling together or anyone bringing children and gear. You get the whole property with private kitchen and outdoor space, at a rate that undercuts the equivalent house in Plett or Knysna substantially. December and January book out first and hardest.
