About this property
Hartenbos Private Game Lodge is a privately-owned escape set in the malaria-free region of Hartenbos, Mossel Bay situated on the Garden Route. The reserve is surrounded by pristine fynbos and alive with wildlife — from Lions, Rhino, Buffalo, Hippo, Giraffe, Eland, Golden Wildebeest, and Zebra to more than 25 species of antelope, including the renowned Springbok. It is also a sanctuary for smaller predators such as the black-backed jackal, caracal, bat-eared fox, and civet and for bird enthusiasts, the skies and bushveld are filled with a dazzling variety of birdlife, from raptors and waterbirds to vibrant bush birds, making the lodge a paradise for birdwatching. Guests at Hartenbos Private Game Lodge can unwind by the pool, enjoy the comfort of the lounge areas, or soak in the scenery from the sundowner deck. Here, peace and tranquility surround you — with evergreen fynbos, abundant birdlife, free-roaming wildlife, and breathtaking views stretching across rolling hills and valleys all the way to the majestic Outeniqua Mountains. Ideally located along the Garden Route, the lodge is just 18 km from Hartenbos Beach and Langeberg Mall, and only 15 minutes from Mossel Bay, home to Blue Flag beaches, top restaurants, and exciting activities such as shark cage diving, helicopter flips, skydiving, and deep-sea fishing. For travellers’ convenience, George Airport is a short 40-minute drive away. Hartenbos Private Game Lodge offers a selection of beautifully appointed accommodations designed for comfort, privacy, and relaxation. Each room and tent are tastefully decorated with a blend of modern amenities and rustic charm, providing a true sanctuary in the heart of nature. Wake up to the gentle sounds of wildlife and breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and valleys, all the way to the Outeniqua Mountains.
