An Exceptional Stay We Can't Wait to Repeat
07 Jun 2026
We spent a wonderful weekend at Jan Harmsgat Country Lodge and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our stay. The facilities are beautifully maintained, and the tranquil setting creates the perfect atmosphere for relaxation and rest.The staff, without exception, were friendly, professional, and incredibly accommodating, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The food was absolutely delicious, with generous portion sizes and excellent value for the quality and service provided.Our room was beautifully appointed and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, and we all enjoyed a restful night's sleep.One of the highlights was the breathtaking scenery. The picturesque views and peaceful surroundings truly capture the beauty of the South African countryside.Jan Harmsgat offers a memorable experience in every respect, and I look forward to returning many more times in the future. Highly recommended.

Wonderful experience - we loved it!
07 Apr 2026
We really loved Jan Harmsgat - from the beautiful garden to the honest, very tasty food at the restaurant. Magda was amazing, she and the staff looked after us with the utmost attention, calm and friendliness, whether we were wanting to talk and ask questions, or just enjoy the beautiful surrounds quietly over a delicious pink gin. Magda’s warmth and commitment was truly inspiring. I feel bad that I’ve forgotten the name of our restaurant waiter - he was fantastic too! (And I’m not just saying that because he loves the All Blacks!!). We also loved the homeliness of the super-friendly cat and Lincoln, the gentle dog! I have to admit that we secretly wanted to take Lincoln home with us in our suitcase however his devotion to Magda was clear! We were lucky to have the ‘honeymoon suite’ above the restaurant and the room was outstanding. For those who don’t like traffic noise, the roof of that particular room is thatch (gorgeous!) so I’d suggest bringing ear plugs as we could hear trucks coming down the nearby hill - I wear them anyway so I was totally fine. It’s really worth staying there regardless. We left with our delicious Jan Harmsgat pinotage and 2 boxes of the best pomegranate juice we’ve ever had. Thoroughly recommend.

We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay, the food, and the company of Lincoln and the cat! We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Magda and the team. Hope to welcome you back soon.
