Visitors who enjoy adrenalin filled activities by day and demand solitude and tranquillity by night will truly appreciate Harkerville.

Things to do

Pack a picnic basket and spend a fun-filled day at Plettenberg Bay Adventure Land where water activities such as the 2-lane racer, kamikaze and freefall slides are available to the family. Open 7 days a week during summer.

Visit the Harkerville Saturday Market to stock up on fresh organic products and free range poultry direct from the farm. Vendors sell beautiful craftwork and you have the opportunity to purchase skin care products made from the aloe plant, common along the Garden Route. Indigenous cultures recognised the medicinally properties of the plant and have used it for centuries.

There are no less than 5 Blue Flag-appointed beaches in the surrounding area. The most popular are Lookout Beach in Plettenberg Bay for long walks and possible whale sightings, Nature’s Valley Beach, a true paradise and Robberg 5 Beach, a popular surfing spot.

There are many other major attractions nearby, including the Knysna Elephant Park, Birds of Eden and the Robberg Nature Reserve.

Where to Eat

The nearby town of Plettenberg Bay has over 60 restaurants and Knysna to the west has roughly the same amount, however, Harkerville has marvelous restaurants of its own:

Zinzi Restaurant is an elegant restaurant with stunning modern décor, with a large fireplace and casual outdoor veranda. It has views over the lake and beautiful surrounding countryside. The first-rate dishes change according to what’s freshly sourced from nearby farms.

Coral Breeze Café just off the highway offers nicely prepared light breakfast and lunch meals served with virtuous coffee.

Enjoy an excellent dining experience under thatch or on the terrace at the Hunter's Country House Restaurant. The cosmopolitan dishes are elevated by the chef’s creativity.

Night Life

Loved by the locals, Nicky’s Bush Pub hosts regular events, from parties to spit braais (barbeques) to keep the patrons thoroughly entertained.

Delight in a cold beer from the local Mitchells Brewery, the pioneers of the craft beer revolution, established in Knysna in 1983 and naturally brewed.

Where to Stay

The peaceful guest houses, self-catering units and camp sites in Harkerville allow the visitor an opportunity to completely relax and unwind.

Did you know?

The Garden of Eden, one of the area’s major attractions, is located in the Harkerville Forest. The short walking route passes gigantic, ancient yellowwood trees in the indigenous forest.

In 1927, a number of California Redwood trees were planted in Harkerville Forest to determine their suitability for commercial logging. The plantation is currently being cleared but for a single 33m high specimen.

About Cottages

Guests escape the noise and bustle of lodges by opting to stay in either fully self-catering or bed and breakfast cottages. Self-catering cottages are a home away from home and come fully equipped with everything guests need. Most self catering cottages also come with a cleaning service, Dstv, and a private patio/entertainment area. Guests who opt for bed and breakfast cottages enjoy their own private patio/entertainment area, luxury amenities, Dstv, and cleaning service. There is often a small kitchenette, if guests wish to do a little cooking, and a relaxing lounge area. Cottages are ideal for families, small groups of friends and couples wishing for a more private retreat.
