The NEW owners are very nice people and welcoming in to their home. Saying that we had several bad experiences. Firstly, when discussing rates over the phone it was agreed 1k RND / night. When we got there we found out this was PER PERSON! On top of this when we arrived we told them we would stay for dinner... more

We loved staying at the Jan Harmsgrat Country House, lovely and friendly staff, who where very helpful during our stay, for sightseeing tips, even helped to find good B&B for the rest of our trip trough South Africa. Great atmosphere, both the rooms and the dinning/lounge room are wonderful cosy. The dinner is absolutely great for a European taste, delicious,... more

If you want to get away from it all and spend a while away from TV, Radio and noise while being pampered in total luxury this is the place for you. Accommodation is 5 star, food is out of this world and the owners and staff go out of their way to make your stay as relaxing and comfortable as... more

This place is out of this world. Amazing. We stayed in a loft room which had the biggest bed we've ever seen and a gorgeous roll top bath in our room. Every tiny detail had been thought about. Pool was gorgeous and not to cold! Absolutely amazing setting...and definately book in for the 4 course meal, the best meal we... more

We have travelled far and wide during our lifetime and can honestly say that the Jan Harmsgat Country House is the finest residence that we have ever had the fortune to stay at. From the minute we arrived, we were afforded unbelievable hospitality. We were offered afternoon tea/coffee and the home baked biscuits were mouthwateringly incredible. Things just got better... more

After 4 weeks in wonderful South Africa, the place which stands out above all the others we stayed at, has to be Jan Harmsgat! From the moment we arrived we were made truly welcome. The setting is idyllic, the farm beautiful, the food and wine superb and the rooms are all you could wish for. The knowledgeable owners and staff... more

Just back from a wonderful 3 week holiday in South Africa and would like to post a comment on Jan Harmsgat Country House, the most amazing place we stayed. Beautiful setting with lovely short walks about the estate, super salt water swimming pool and delightful accommodation! The food was amazing. Michelle, who runs the restaurant, couldn’t have been more helpful... more

It's almost a month since we stayed for two nights, and yet the memory remains. Jan Harmsgat and Swellendam get under the skin. Why is that? (1) Both Jan Harmsgatt and Swellendam are full of South African history. They are "real" places, and you feel it. (2) The rooms are large, and very characterful. (3) The food is outstanding. We... more

Having been home a week from our trip to South Africa and Mauritius, we thought it about time that we should say a few words about this special and beautiful place in South Africa. From the moment we arrived, gone 8.30pm and dark, we were greeted with the most warmest of welcomes and wonderful service that lasted throughout our 2... more
