Boutique Rural Hotel
Jan Harmsgat Country House, a historic 17th-century farmhouse in the Cape Winelands, radiates timeless charm. Encircled by the Langeberg Mountains and Breede River, it offers an authentic retreat steeped in Overberg heritage.
The ten elegantly appointed rooms, spread across three distinct buildings, blend classical Victorian furnishings with modern comforts, featuring air-conditioning, heating, flat-screen televisions with selected DSTV channels, and luxurious private bathrooms, some with freestanding bathtubs. Each room exudes its own unique style and history, with original meter-thick walls and yellowwood details creating an atmosphere of understated elegance and serene comfort.
The fine dining restaurant celebrates the region's bounty, serving fresh, homemade cuisine crafted from fruits and nuts grown in the surrounding vineyards and orchards, paired with exquisite local wines from the cellar. Guests can savour meals throughout the day in the restaurant or relax by the inviting outdoor swimming pool and bar, set against the backdrop of lush gardens and scenic mountain vistas.

Located just 20 km from the Robertson Wine Region and a 20-minute drive from Bonnievale and Swellendam, this charming country house offers discerning travellers a perfect blend of historic allure and modern indulgence in the heart of South Africa's Winelands.
