There is also a very special representation of an authentic little shop from the olden days as well as a depiction of the history of Hartenbos.

Apart from the waterpark and lagoon/beach attractions, Hartenbos is also in close proximity to the Garden Route National Park (Tsitsikamma, Knysna & Wilderness), as well as an array of Garden Route attractions including the famous Cango caves in Oudtshoorn, Meiringspoort, ostrich and game farms and the Strawberry Farm (near George).
