About Hartbeespoort

Hartbeespoort grew up around the Hartbeespoort Dam, completed in 1925 on the Crocodile and Magalies Rivers and unusual for having a wall built in Roman Triumphal Arch style, modelled on Paris's Arc de Triomphe. The dam and surrounding resort towns sit within the Magaliesberg range, reckoned among the oldest mountain ranges on earth at some 20 million years and now a World Biosphere Reserve, forming part of the wider Cradle of Humankind UNESCO World Heritage Area. The Hartbeespoort Aerial Cableway, South Africa's longest mono cableway, carries visitors up to a paved summit walkway with views over the dam. Close enough to Gauteng for easy day trips, the area has built its identity around water sports, hiking and mountain views.

Hartbeespoort's calendar turns toward wellness this stretch, with Pecanberry Farm hosting the Kombucha Workshop October. Families can head to Arrow Rest for FAMILY FUN the following weekend, while Aviators Harties lands a big concert with PRIME CIRCLE LIVE at AVIATORS HARTIES. Boatersworld answers with the All White Cruise Party, and the same Aviators stage follows up in November with JUAN BOUCHER LIVE @ Aviator's, Hartbeespoort.
