Welkom by Piekenierskloof Mountain Resort
Tussen Eendekuil en Citrusdal pronk die Piekenierskloofpas met Carmien Tea rooibosplantasies, unieke padstalle en een van sy mooiste mensgemaakte gesigte: die Piekenierskloof Mountain Resort.
As jy die kaart van Suid-Afrika onder ’n vergrootglas sit spring die Weskus-spikkels vinnig na vore en nog voor die menigte vissersdorpies jou oog vang besef jy hierdie spikkels lê wyer as slegs bokkoms, blomme en bote.
Om elke hoek en draai is daar ’n ongerepte stukkie aarde met ’n mengelmoes van kultuur. Die natuurwonders slaan jou asem weg, landskappe van berg tot see groet jou langs die pad en avonture wag jou geesdriftig in.
Die beste manier om die diversiteit van die Weskus-spikkels te ontdek is om voet in die hoek te sit en een, twee of sommer al vier van die West Coast Way se roetes te verken. So waar soos sout op bokkoms, daar was nog nooit ‘n makliker manier om die beste van die Weste te geniet nie en met hierdie roetes gaan daar geen krieseltjie van die Weskus verlore nie.
Loer na die roetes…

Follow us on on Instagram, Facebook, X and LinkedIn @WestCoastWaySA.Vir ’n egte Suid-Afrikaanse kultuur-inspuiting volg die West Coast Way Culture Route (Kultuuroete) wat jou vinnig-vinnig uit die stad sal lei met die R27; hierdie roete sal jou vat van Melkbos tot Mamre tot geskiedenis, staaltjies en meer. Een van die nuwe roetes, die West Coast Way Tractor Route, vat jou deur die Weskus se prentjiemooi landskappe en sluit aan by die liplekker West Coast Way Foodie Route wat seker maak jy ervaar die Weskus happie vir happie; van kreefbraai tot boerekos. Nog ’n nuwe roete is die West Coast Way Berg Route wat jou neem deur berge en dale, passe en valleie.
Die West Coast Way Berg Route is maklik en vinnig bereikbaar as jy die N7 uit die stad volg. Hierdie sirkelroete kronkel langs die koringlande, deur die berge en verby die vrugteboorde tot by Elandsbaai en Dwarskersbos waar visserskuitjies rustig op die water dobber. In die middel van die Bergroete is Aurora geleë wat beskou word as die middelpunt van die heelal nadat Abbé Nicolas de le Caille ’n sterrewag opgerig het in die 18de eeu. Maar sterrekyk is nie al wat Aurora bied nie, hierdie dorp spog ook met ’n hele paar bekende restaurante, Sandveldblomme asook ’n pragtige kerk.
Tussen Eendekuil en Citrusdal pronk die Piekenierskloofpas met rooibosplantasies, unieke padstalle en een van sy mooiste mensgemaakte gesigte: die Piekenierskloof Mountain Resort.
Piekenierskloof Bergoord
Die Piekenierskloof Bergoord lê knus in die arms van die Olifantsriviervallei en is ’n vinnige japtrap 2-ure rit van die Kaap af wat dit die ideale wegbreek maak vir Kapenaars, die lang pad reisigers, families, konferensie- en besigheidsbesoekers asook Cederberg-avontuursoekers.
