Don’t miss out on the best kept secret of the West Coast: Velddrif. Stay at the holiday home Quay West, just 40m off the Berg River (2nd row). This recently built 2 bedroom upmarket 4 star graded self-catering house is ideal for the discerning traveller to relax and experience quality time in homely atmosphere.
Launch your kayak, enjoy a boat trip, watch the birds in the estuary, taste some fantastic seafood delicacies or just chill…here you can recharge your batteries from the hectic city life.
Just 90 minutes from Cape Town, on the R 27, at the mouth of the Berg River lays the tranquil village Velddrif, the gateway to the Bokkom Republic. The town is situated 2 km upstream from where the Berg River flows into the Atlantic Ocean at St Helena Bay. It came into existence as a fishing village during the 1800s and early 1900s. Today Velddrif is a hotspot for the tourist with a taste for the simple pleasures of life, the town’s appeal being its old world charm and heritage, sincerity of its inhabitants, birdlife, wild flowers and beautiful waterways.
Paternoster is just a stone's throw away. If you prefer guesthouse accommodation, stay at Farr Out which is 4 Star graded and in hands of the same owners as Quay West.
