Pikkewyn is a lovely two-bedroom self-catering cottage situated 140 kilometres north from Cape Town on the West Coast in Laaiplek, Velddrif.
Pikkewyn is situated perfectly for the adventure seeker and is only 800 meters away from the slipway (referred to as Rooibaai by locals) giving boat owners direct access to water sports or angling on the Berg River and for the ones with larger boats, access to the sea where snoek, kabeljou, yellowtail or lobster can be found. The best of both worlds!
However, a boat is not a necessity. Fishing or angling can be done in abundance from the jetty or Berg Riverbank. Come see the beautiful spring flowers all along the West Coast and go for scenic walks or boat trips along the river. The annual Berg River Canoe Marathon ends just around the corner from Pikkewyn. On a daily basis, locals launch their fishing boats and often return from sea with hulls filled to the brim with the day's catch. Buy your fish fresh from the fisherman.....best way to do it!
Laaiplek started off as a small fishing community. It is also be told that farmers in earlier years that stayed along the Berg River, transported their wheat and goods along the river to the sea (Laaiplek) to be shipped to Melkbos/Cape Town.....in those earlier years Laaiplek was also referred to as "Brood op die Water". (Bread on the Water).
