The Village Hall was originally built and funded by local residents in 1930 on a privately owned piece of land. Apart from being used for regular church meetings complete with vestry, many fond memories are shared about the weddings, dances, variety concerts and film shows that were held under the same roof!

​

Subsequently during 1990, a private company and resident extended the Village hall to incorporate a chapel and a new library in lieu of payment for a piece of ground in front of their seafront property.

​

The Haga Museum forms part of this old building and is worth a visit to view amongst others, a magnificent 24 000 piece puzzle built by one of our local residents, the beautiful floors and domed ceiling in the quiet setting of the chapel before popping downstairs to be inspired by the carefully selected and abundant reading material in our library.

​

The first library was started during the early 1950’s by Joyce Hobbs, who ran it from her garage in Milkwood Lane. Joyce gathered all her private books and local residents donated their unwanted books to the Haga library much to the delight of the avid readers. Eventually the concept of a library was brought to the attention of the Cape Provincial Library Services, and a small pre-fab building was erected on a vacant plot with a beautiful view of the ocean. When this property was put on the market, the library moved to the village hall. The Haga library is unique in that it is the only library in the country that was granted permission to house both Provincial and Private Book Club books under one roof and it is managed as two separate libraries.

​

A small team of local residents maintain and run the library which is home to the latest best reads, puzzles, board games and DVD’s.
