Mooiste Mooi Blom Studio

“I have come a long way with the most beautiful flora and had a successful flower business in Johannesburg under the name @KDKFlowers.  When we moved to the Hex River Valley during September 2021, the longing to be surrounded by flowers was so intense that #MooisteMooiBlomStudio came into being,” she said.  

Although the current target market is mainly locals of the Hex River Valley, Karen hopes to soon also supply to the #BreedeValleyDistrict and beyond. Whether you want to book a #creativefloralworkshop for a group of friends; in need of flowers for an upcoming event, special occasion or celebration; beautify your offices and lobbies, it will require fresh flowers on a regular basis. Be sure to contact her!

Ruah Camping

@Ruahcamp is a popular #recreationalarea and situated 6km outside of De Doorns, at the base of Elskloof.  It consists of six campsites, a picnic area, ablution facilities, clearly marked hiking trail and rock pools. Ideal for #coupleretreats and #weekendgetaways. At Ruah Camp you can enjoy also the outdoors by #kloofing, go #rockarthunting and exploring the #scenicsurrounds.

 

As they needed electricity for the preservation of their fresh produce, during 1902 Elskloof  became home to the first hydro electrical generator installed in the Breede Valley District by the Dicey Brothers.  The Pelton wheel was imported from Italy and transported from Cape Town’s harbor to De Doorns, by horse carriages and installed at Cape Orchard Company’s cooling rooms. The first of many in the #scenichexvalley.  These remnants now lies dormant next to the tranquil mountain stream.

The @veldskoenpadstal_hexriver has been in existence for more than 40 years, and established by the Van der Watt family as a local retail outlet of export table grapes. As the name entails another one of the main products featured here was @veldskoen, local produce, dried fruits and general takeaways (coffee, tea, and toasted sandwiches) was available here.

Wennie and Launa Barnard bought the business during 2006 and during 2017 Jacques and Nadia le Roux took over from her parents.  

“There were no full time restaurants operational during this time, neither a place where people could sit down, relax and socialise while enjoying a soothing cup of coffee or a light meal. Along with my parents and loyal staff, we have expanded and grown into a business that is no longer just seasonal and the rural lifestyle still inspires us every day and we are privileged to be part of the beautiful #HexRiverValley and to watch our staff grow.”

The Veldskoen Farm Stall’s target market is both local and returning customers. The rest of the clientele are mainly tourists from all over the world. Come visit the Veldskoen Farm Stall where you can #eat, #browse and #relax. Sit down for a #deliciousmeal in their quant little tea garden or buy fresh produce delicacies available here.

Pre-bookings recommended for a Sunday luncheon at the @veldskoenpadstal_hexriver with family and friends:
