That’s exactly why I decided to put together a handpicked list of the very best places to stay in Kosmos so that you can enjoy your visit without any surprises! And if you’re curious about what to do around Kosmos, check out our post on the nearby attractions—there’s so much to explore. Enjoy every moment!

Don't be silly, make sure you have a view of the dam!

So, without further ado, here are the links to explore our curated photo gallery and reviews for each of our top picks in Kosmos! From the sea of B&Bs in this charming town, we’ve chosen only a select few, and with good reason. Our goal isn’t just for you to visit Kosmos once but to fall in love and come back time and time again.

And let’s be real—nothing says “relaxation” quite like a view over water. As humans, we’re naturally drawn to nature (thanks to a phenomenon called biophilia), and water has a unique way of calming our minds and lifting our spirits. That’s why every spot we chose offers stunning views over the Hartbeespoort Dam.

Water invites reflection and mindfulness. Whether you’re contemplating life or simply taking in the beauty around you, these views create the perfect backdrop for unwinding. Plus, being in a natural setting has been shown to ease anxiety and boost mood. The openness of water views also provides a refreshing sense of freedom and vastness—an antidote to the confined feel of city life.

So go on, dive in, explore our recommendations, and start planning your ultimate Kosmos escape!

Getting There

Kosmos is tucked along the slopes above the Hartbeespoort Dam, making it one of the most scenic corners of the area. It’s just a few minutes’ drive from Hartbeespoort’s top attractions — the cableway, markets, art villages, wildlife sanctuaries, and plenty of sightseeing stops that turn any visit into a full day out.
From Johannesburg, Kosmos is an easy weekend escape, roughly an hour’s drive depending on your route. That short trip delivers you straight into a peaceful lakeside setting with mountain views, fresh air, and the kind of quiet charm that feels worlds away from the city.
