Hartland Country House & Cottages has been a cherished family property since the early 1980s, when the Theron family took ownership. Over the years, the land and its buildings have gathered countless stories, shaped by family life, hard work, and a deep connection to the South African countryside.
In 2023, this beloved property embarked on a new chapter when it was taken over by the eldest son, Ras, along with his wife Lexi and their three boys—Noah, Gabe, and Mitch. With great care and respect for its history, the original house and cottages were thoughtfully renovated to welcome guests, providing country accommodations in South Africa that beautifully blend comfort with the character of the past.
Today, Hartland Country House & Cottages offers a peaceful country escape, conveniently located near Plettenberg Bay and its beautiful beaches, as well as nearby golf courses. Guests can enjoy stunning vineyard views accommodation and panoramic vistas over the surrounding vineyards, all while sharing the space with the property’s much-loved animal residents who happily roam the grounds.
It remains a place where family, nature, and hospitality come together—just as they have for decades.
