More info about Hartbeespoort Dam

The dam was opened in 1923. People from Johannesburg built charming thatched weekend cottages on the slopes in the 1930’s, to enjoy the country quiet with lovely scenic views over the dam.

A charming small holiday Resort town grew up around the dam, little villages developed along the banks. The large expanse of water was a welcome sight on the high dry savannah of the Transvaal plateau

Nowadays the dam is a major Water sport Playground and Relaxation Destination for Gauteng, not only for its scenic beauty but also its convenient proximity to the cities of Pretoria and Johannesburg. It is less than an hour’s drive away from both.

Do you Know

The small town is often called Harties by the locals. The dam was built on Hartbeespoort Farm. The Afrikaans farmers who lived there in the 1830’s, hunted hartebeests, a type of antelope, cornering them in the valley. Originally the dam was the dream of General Schoeman, a Boer General who owned Hartbeespoort Farm in the 1890’s. The dam was built to irrigate the farms in the area which then became valuable and fertile. The main crops grown on farms around the dam are flowers, fruit and tobacco.
