Harrismith is a small town and halfway from Johannesburg to Durban.
Not much to do, but a very nice relaxing out of the way place.
For back pack travellers it could be a fantastic spot if you want 5 star accommodation.

The decision to stay overnight at the lodge was our worst decision to date. On reaching at 10:30 pm, it was found that there was no electricity. The security said that electricity will come at 12 o'clock. Waited for 12:30 AM but the electricity did not come.
Think about sub-zero temperatures, not even electricity to make tea or coffee. Again asked security he said our job is security.
At one o'clock in the night, there was no helper, no emergency food arrangement, there was no electricity in the cottage.
The nearest town is also 25 km away and the road is also rough.
Finally went to sleep to see in the morning. I woke up at five in the morning and still there was no electricity. Called the emergency number twice but it was closed and there was no security.
Leaving visitors so helpless in such a rural place is extremely risky and we don't know what to do next while the lights in the front building were clear.
When we called the reception in the morning, they started apologizing, but such an apology is of no use to us when we people started feeling sick due to the cold.
We are very disappointed with such bad service and will probably never visit here again.

Harrismith is a one horse town, nothing to do there but we went down for the Cancer runn (Bikes) that was enjoyable. The roads in the residential area is HORRENDUS! Potholes like i have never experienced so they need to fix this pronto, but having said that NOTHING gets repaired in this country, it's shocking!

Never really stayed in Harrismith until now.
Never really stayed in Harrismith until now. Always stop at the Harrismith Engen garage on the N3 when travelling to Durban and back to JHB.
As this was part of Harrismith I can say that my stay in Harrismith was fanatstic...my opinion though, choose your place wisely.

The town itself is in disrepair.
The town itself is in disrepair. But don't let that discourage you.
The resorts are totally opposite and is vastly different.
These are well maintained and in superb condition.
Friendly people and relaxed atmosphere is to what you can expect.

The owner's son welcomed us and provided us with a delicious dinner and breakfast. The facility was very clean.
The guesthouse has a stunning view of the Platberg.
Felt safe and also did not worry about our vehicle. Parking area was well lit at night. Close to room. as well.
The rooms were surprisingly warm for Harrismith. We thought it would get very cold at night. We did not even need the extra blankets we asked for. Outside was cold but inside very nice.
In the nice part of Harrismith, very quiet, very comfortable (not clinical), room was a very nice size, nice facilities and perfect for a one night stop over while travelling to break up the trip. Host super friendly, bed comfy, table and chairs always welcome to put our belongings on. We really appreciated the heater to take away the biting 3 degree cold. We felt very well rested to continue our journey the next day.
.Harrismith was in the middle on Community protest. All shops were closed on the 10th June as the result. The host made us aware of this, and we appreciated it. She also made an extra effort to arrange a safe parking for us while the entrance was still being worked on, which I commend her for. All the items listed above (on what I didn't like) were promptly attended to and rectified.
I liked absolutely NOTHING about this property. extremely horrible experience they cancelled my booking after already drove more than 400km to Harrismith. Was only made aware when i called them to arrange for a check in. i had already paid for my stay and had to make another booking.
It is a very pleasant hotel and I found the staff very helpful. I was offered a special meal because the set menu had egg batter on the chicken and fish. They made me up an excellent, very large fish and vegetable dinner. Room is comfy with two big beds and a bright, white bathroom.
From the start we felt super comfortable. The room was very neat and cozy. The wifi was also surprisingly top-notch! We will recommend this place to ANYONE who's traveling through Harrismith.
This place will definitely see us again.
A big 'Thank you' to the owner, Marius.
Very convenient stay next to the main travel center at Harrismith, close to a number of restaurants and coffee shops. Very friendly staff made the check-in process very easy. Very nice over-night stop for travelers.
Place isn't yet finished, it's still work in progress. For a self catering place it didn't provide things like coffee or facilities to prepare anything.
