300 days per year of sunshine and an often rather frisky southeaster? Where can this be? This is Velddrif, the gateway to the Bokkom Republic, one of South Africa’s best holiday destinations, especially for all kinds of water sports, friendly village atmospheres and spectacular scenery, in other words the “best kept secret of the West Coast”.

Although only 90 minutes’ drive from Cape Town North on the R27, Velddrif has only a tenth of Cape Town’s annual rainfall. Great for weekenders right through the year. Why spend a weekend in the rain when, in under two hours you can be having a braai in sunshine at your holiday home Quay West. Remember the motto: “Life’s a beach and then you braai”.

Fully equipped 2 bedrooms self-catering holiday house Quay West is just 40m away from the Berg River (2nd row), perfect for the discerning traveler to relax and experience quality time in homely atmosphere.

Launch your kayak (or use the double kayak available at Quay West), 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.
