Harrismith is a small, charming country town and discovered by tourists only recently.
 
It is the ideal destination to break a long trip, hold a conference or escape from the stresses of city living.
  The Basotho Cultural Village nestles in the heart of the Qwaqwa National Park, close to the world-renowned Golden Gate area. The Cultural Village takes you for a walk down the pathway of time.   Containing a unique wetland, Seekoeivlei Nature Reserve acts as a key habitat for more than a quarter of the Free State's endangered bird species.
