Jun22596 10 | LUXlife Magazine Best Lifestyle Accommodation Destination 2026 – Garden Route & LUXlife Guest Satisfaction Excellence Award 2026 – Garden Route The Garden Route is one of South Africa’s most stunning coastal drives, and its 300-kilometre route from Mossel Bay to Storms River offers an array of beaches, forests, wildlife, and quaint towns. One such town is George, which is recognised for its natural beauty and cultural heritage. The town is also home to Harvil House Lifestyle Centre & Overnight Accommodation, which offers a blend of convenient accommodation and on-site lifestyle services. Harvil House’s own Eldineé Nortjé caught up with us for more following the destination’s recognition in our Resort and Retreat Awards. A lifestyle centre with corporate and leisure overnight accommodation in George, Garden Route, Harvil House’s story begins with its building, which it refers to as being a place of ‘intentional inspiration’. With hues that reflect nature and creativity, there is a sense of authenticity and rawness found here that is indicative of a thoroughly modern design. Its design channels the healing power of nature, leading to curiosity, hope, and grace. The walls, it has said, are intended to listen and capture the future stories told. It is from this foundation that Harvil House has attracted a diverse range of tenants, with its four walls encompassing a unique and eclectic mix of food, coffee, health/beauty, weight loss, dentistry, finance, and more. Then there are the luxurious stays available across its five stunning and serviced apartments, which have led to its feature here in our Resorts and Retreat Awards 2026. These apartments are available for short- or longer-term rentals, with the choice of one or two bedrooms across ground and first-floor accommodation. Harvil House’s apartments are all self-catering, and they offer a range of desirable amenities, from free Wi-Fi and secure parking to a fully equipped kitchenette, a coffee machine, a TV with DSTV, and even a private balcony. All have been decorated and finished to the highest standards, and none of these apartments would feel out of place in a high-end hotel in a major city like Johannesburg or Durban. There is a similar theme throughout all the accommodations, but they are more than different enough to stand out on their own. Ideal for corporate travellers, families, and holidaymakers exploring the Garden Route, Harvil House’s accommodation reflects a seamless, Harvil House
