I opted to buy tickets there, but as you can see, they're available online (at a discounted rate!). I was super impressed with how organised they were, especially since my master plan of getting there included pointing my car in a general Hartbeespoort direction and hitting the accelerator.
As soon as you get near Harties there are signs at every intersection letting you know which way to go. Even though we were there on a Sunday and there were stacks of other people, the ticketing and queuing process was painless and efficient.
There are shops and restaurants at both the top and bottom, and although they ask you not to bring your own food and drinks, there's plenty to eat at the top. Having said that, be warned that the restaurant is self service and the options are small, but if you're okay with burgers, pies, boerie rolls, and a small selection of wraps and cakes, you'll be fine. And the view is so mind-blowingly spectacular that you won't really mind!
When you get to the top, be sure to do the Dassie Loop (the circular walking trail) and read all about the sites you can see in each direction (some - like Botswana - require a little imagination). If your inner Jo'burger hits when you're up there and you need to shop, fear not, there's a gorgeous curios shop with interesting goodies!
Tickets are available online or at the ticketing station at R160 for adults and R90 for kids. As day trips from Jozi go, this one's a winner! And as surprise adventures go, Harties Cableway is a must!
