It’s oyster season, so be sure to celebrate by heading on through to Hartbeespoort Dam for some chilled vibes and delectably fresh oysters. ​Just 30 minutes from Johannesburg and 45 minutes from Pretoria, the Harties Oyster Route has been specifically curated and consists of seven spectacular restaurants. Each restaurant has been chosen to highlight just how great the humble oyster truly is.

Take in the stunning dam views as you explore the Harties Oyster Route and enjoy an absolute taste sensation. Each restaurant puts their own unique twist on things, but you can expect anything from gastronomic oyster dishes with expert wine pairings to freshly shucked and simply served oysters.
