La Bastide provides a rustic, charming and unique guest accommodation in the valley of the timeless Magaliesberg mountain range, close to the Hartbeespoort Dam. It is situated on an old farm and the distinct countryside atmosphere still resonates in the gardens and architecture. The rooms are quirky, quaint and comfortable and provide an original experience which is relaxing and an alternative to the run of the mill interior design one finds all too often. The property affords beautiful views of the Magaliesberg mountain range.
The accommodation was designed to cater to the varied needs of the visitors to our area. Many of our guests attend weddings at nearby venues (Leopard Lodge, Red Ivory and Green Leaves amongst others), so need a place to spend the night. Others are looking for a break from the city and want to absorb the fresh air, tranquility and beautiful surroundings. The abundance of exciting activities in our area also attract those who would like to take a few days out for some fun, or relaxation with friends and family.
There are numerous ACTIVITIES and facilities which can be enjoyed in the Hartbeespoort vicinity, many of which are close by, and include pursuits such as cycling, hiking, golf, restaurants, a cheese farm, sightseeing, health spa plus many others.
Whatever the requirement, La Bastide offers self catering accommodation and prices to suit your individual needs. While breakfast is not offered, there is an assortment of venues close by where breakfasts to meet your requirements can be obtained.
The Donkers, a Dutch family, started the guest accommodation in 2003 and have created a typical French country style ambiance which perfectly suits the gorgeous surroundings. Many of the art works which grace the walls of certain of the rooms are originals painted by Hans Donker. Pauline, their daughter, took over the property in 2011 and retained its ambience until it once again changed hands in 2017. This theme will continue into the future and it is our hope that your experience will be an enjoyable and memorable one so that you will return time and time again.
Hope to see you soon!
