A waterfront destination built around experiences
About Harties Harbour
Harties Harbour is a relaxed waterfront destination on the north-western shores of Hartbeespoort Dam, set against the dramatic backdrop of the Magaliesberg Mountains.
Just under an hour from Johannesburg and Pretoria, the harbour brings together water experiences, land-based activities, food, music and social spaces in one easy-to-enjoy location. What began as a simple point on the dam has grown into a place where visitors come to slow down, reconnect and enjoy time outdoors. Harties Harbour is not only about getting on the water. It is about creating a space where guests can move effortlessly between cruises, private charters, dining, activities and nearby attractions, all while enjoying the natural beauty of Hartbeespoort.
One Harbour. Many ways to enjoy it.
A place for locals, visitors and memorable moments
Harties Harbour is designed to be enjoyed at your own pace. Some guests arrive for a short scenic cruise, others spend the day mixing activities with lunch and time by the water, while many return for celebrations, family outings or quiet afternoons away from the city.The harbour welcomes couples, families, groups and travellers passing through, offering experiences that are accessible, well-organised and relaxed. Whether you are here for adventure, celebration or simple downtime, Harties Harbour provides a setting where water, land and people come together naturally. As the harbour continues to evolve, its focus remains the same: offering memorable experiences in a welcoming space that reflects the spirit of Harties and the beauty of the dam.
