You are invited to relax in our exclusive country bed and breakfast guest house accommodation on an historic farm, (established in 1723) in the beautiful Klein Karoo. Jan Harmsgat Guest Farm is situated between the towns of Swellendam on the N2 and Ashton on the R62.

The guest house is a 2 hour drive from Cape Town, on a working farm in the scenic Klein Karoo winelands region of South Africa. The towns of Robertson, Montagu, and McGregor are within close proximity and Cape Agulhas (the southern tip of Africa) is an easy hours drive away.

The guest house, bed and breakfast accommodation (which is non smoking) is in understated elegance and comfort in the farms original slave quarters, and consists of four large en-suite rooms with an adjoining lounge. Two loft rooms and the guest lounge boast expansive mountain views. Guests may relax by the pool with a book from our extensive library or explore the farm and surrounding wine routes, as well as museums and heritage sites in nearby Swellendam and surrounding areas.

Conveniently situated a leisurely half-hour s drive through beautiful farm-lands, from Swellendam; Jan Harmsgat Guest Farm has seen a renaissance that captures its rich past, in a way that fits in with the discerning traveller s needs: Space, charm and an unsurpassed opportunity to indulge in an authentic country ambience and history.

We also offer a beautiful cottage on the extreme boundary of the farm, about 5 minutes drive from the main house. The cottage is set in a lovely pastoral setting, surrounded by pedigreed Somerset sheep. Bass fishing can be arranged here.
