Visit Harties Harbour At Hartbeespoort Dam
Harties Harbour is a destination, not just a departure point.
Visit Harties Harbour, a relaxed waterfront escape on the north-western shores of Hartbeespoort Dam, or “Harties,” as it’s fondly known by locals, framed by the majestic peaks of the Magaliesberg. A favourite weekend retreat for city dwellers and a convenient midway stop for travellers heading to or from Sun City Resort and Pilanesberg National Park, Harties Harbour is where life slows down.
Just under an hour from Johannesburg and Pretoria, Harties Harbour is where city life slows down, a place to unwind by the water, enjoy great food, explore local experiences, and soak up the easy, vibrant atmosphere, all in a vibrant harbour setting.
One Harbour. Many ways to enjoy it.
Spend your time on the water, on land, or both.
Whether you’re browsing, competing or getting hands-on, the harbour keeps the experience varied and engaging. Harties Harbour is designed for easy, unhurried enjoyment. Arrive for a cruise, stay for lunch, browse the market, enjoy a drink on the beach, and end your visit with an activity, all in one scenic waterfront location. Whether you’re visiting Hartbeespoort for the weekend or just escaping the city for the day, Harties Harbour invites you to slow down and make the most of it.
Harties Harbour has grown into a lively leisure hub with activities for families, friends and groups.
Relax, eat & soak up the view.
Zanzibar Beach Café
No harbour experience is complete without good food and a place to unwind. Zanzibar Beach Café offers a laid-back beach atmosphere where you can enjoy cocktails, great food and views over the dam. It’s the perfect spot to gather with friends, relax after a cruise, or simply enjoy the Harties vibe.
