Introduction/InleidingThe quaint fishing villages - Velddrif and Laaiplek - are situated at the mouth of the Berg River where it flows into St Helena Bay. Land and sea blend together in an idyllic paradise of fishing, bird-life and wildflowers - where visitors may experience the tranquility of living close to nature.It takes less than 90 minutes from Cape Town on the R27-highway to reach Velddrif. Bring your yacht, fishing tackle and binoculars and enjoy an unforgettable West Coast experience. Velddrif and its environs have an ambience that once experienced will bring you back time and time again. The mild Mediterranean climate offers year- round vacation enjoyment. Here life drifts on in a peaceful atmosphere, giving you time to unwind, to relax, far from the madding crowd, noise and traffic and to surround yourself with the wonders of nature.
Waar die Bergrivier in die Atlantiese Oseaan uitmond, lê die karaktervolle vissersdorpies van Velddrif en Laaiplek. Land en water smelt hier saam in 'n paradys van voëls, vis en veldblomme waar die besoeker die rustigheid van die ongerepte natuur ten volle kan geniet. Vanaf Kaapstad neem dit net sowat 90 minute met die R27 snelweg om hierdie paradys te bereik. Bring gerus u seiljag en visgerei saam en geniet 'n onvergeetlike Weskus ondervinding. Velddrif en omgewing het 'n bekoring wat u keer op keer sal teruglok. Die gematigde Mediterreense klimaat maak dit heeljaar 'n uitstekende keuse vir u vakansie. Hier gaan die lewe rustig en onverstoord sy gang en kry 'n mens weer kans om asem te skep, heeltemal te ontspan en die natuur ten volle te geniet.
