October Holiday in Hartenbos. Mossel Bay. Garden Route. South Africa.

Hartenbos can trace its origin back to 1730 when a ship, the Huijs te Marquette, lost her rudder and floundered to the shore, where she and her crew was stranded, it was a local farmer called Esaias Meyer who rode to Cape Town to appraise the authorities of the ship's misfortune. As compensation for his help, the Dutch East India Company granted Meijer a Farm on a tract of land which he called Hart en Bos (deer and bush).
In 1933 the farm was sold to South African Railways and Harbour who turned it into a holiday resort for their lower-rung employees.
