Hooikraal Tented Camp

There are a number of farm dams stocked with bass and tilapia. Heidelberg also has a number of excellent venues for the more experienced fishermen and arrangements can be made to do a half day float tube excursion to one of the dams in the area.
Don’t forget that the Breede River, a fishing paradise and arguably the best place to target big 100lb kabeljou, is only 40km from the camp.

Less than a kilometre from the camp you can find Die Skeerhok farmstall and Hooikraal butchery. They have a unique feel and some interesting dishes that will whet your appetite. Die Skeerhok is a great place to go for a breakfast or lunch and Hooikraal butchery will have everything you need for a braai in the evening back at the camp.
