Hartenbos is one of the most popular holiday resorts in the Western Cape. The fine beach and promenade make it attractive. It lies just north of the major town of Mossel Bay. The resort includes five kilometers of Blue Flag Beaches, a river with paddle boats, a super tube, fun park, heated swimming pool, flea markets, conference facilities and shopping centres. The resort is the largest self-catering establishment on the Western Cape's Garden Route coast.


Hartenbos is situated along the world-famous Garden Route between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, some 8 km from Mossel Bay and 40 km from George airport. The ATKV also has an amphitheater in the resort and holds Afrikaans cultural festivals, such as their 2005 Afrikiti concerts there. On Christmas morning, the Kersdiens is attended by thousands in this arena. Several other services, such as the Kerssangdiens (Christmas Carol Ceremony) and Middernagdiens (New Year Church Service) are held in the festive season. During this peak holiday season Hartenbos accommodates up to 15 000 visitors at a time
