Don't be put off by the location,R60 at the moment closed but do the longer detour via Bonnivale and avoid the long dirt track.We were welcomed by huge dogs that were extremely affectionate once you got over their size.Our room was luxurious and the food out of this world,chef Paul very interested in our thoughts.We were given a guided tour...

From our welcome to our departure we couldn't fault this place, peaceful, great staff good food and true value. It's nice to feel special occasionally and we were made this here nothing was trouble , cannot wait to... More

We enjoyed two nights at Jan Harmsgat. Our room was well appointed and bed was comfortable. Staff were super friendly and made us feel welcome. Nice touch to have owner host pre dinner drinks, very relaxed feel to the whole place. Food was tasty, breakfast was the highlight with perfectly poached eggs both mornings. Evening meals were also very good.... More

We went for a long walk after we'd settled in. While walking,... More

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay at Jan Harmsgat. Absolutely beautiful area, restful accommodation and good food. Being dog lovers we also enjoyed the canine friends! If we ever go back to the area we would definitely have a repeat visit

We stayed at JHG during X-mas 2011 and were absolutely blown away by the warmth and hospitality. Everything from the wonderful rooms to fantastic food and excellent service was first class. Gerda, the manager, was a rock having everything in control and always with a smile. Willie was an excellent host and it was a joy to see with what... More

We were driving on the garden route up to Cape Town. At first when we arrive at Jan Harmsgat, our impression was: this is really remote. Bonnievale, near Swellendam, is 100% rural with very extensive farms. We saw ostriches on the way and very nice landscapes. But Jan Harmsgat is an experience on its own: we were welcome by one... More
