Camping Etiquette and Resort Living:
One of the things that makes De Hollandsche Molen special is the sense of community that exists among our shareholders, campers, visitors, and permanent residents. Whether you are spending a weekend under the stars, enjoying a family holiday, or residing at the resort, we all share the responsibility of creating a safe, welcoming, and enjoyable environment for everyone.
Camping and resort living are unique experiences because they bring people together in a shared natural setting. A little consideration for others goes a long way in ensuring that every guest leaves with positive memories.
Respecting Your Neighbours
One of the most important aspects of resort living is being mindful of those around you. While holidays are a time to relax and have fun, excessive noise can quickly impact the enjoyment of others. Keeping music and conversations at a reasonable level, particularly during the evening and early morning hours, helps maintain the peaceful atmosphere that many guests come to enjoy.
Remember that your neighbour may be enjoying a quiet weekend, spending time with family, or simply appreciating the tranquillity of nature.
Keeping Our Resort Clean
DHM's beautiful surroundings are one of our greatest assets. Every visitor plays a role in preserving this environment. Dispose of litter responsibly, make use of the refuse facilities provided, and ensure that your campsite, caravan site, or holiday home is left neat and tidy.
Small actions such as picking up stray litter, recycling where possible, and avoiding unnecessary waste contribute significantly to keeping the resort attractive for all visitors.
Conserving Water and Electricity
As a resort located within a sensitive natural environment, responsible use of resources remains essential. Water and electricity should be used thoughtfully at all times. Reporting leaks, turning off lights when not in use, and avoiding unnecessary water consumption all contribute to the sustainability of the resort.
By working together, we help reduce costs and protect valuable resources for future generations.
Safety Comes First
The safety of all visitors remains a priority. Parents are encouraged to supervise children, especially around the river, swimming pools, roads, and recreational areas. Visitors should familiarise themselves with emergency procedures and report any hazards to management immediately.
A safe resort is everyone's responsibility.
Respecting Nature
The natural beauty of the Wemmershoek Valley is a major attraction for visitors. Guests are encouraged to respect wildlife, avoid disturbing natural habitats, and protect the vegetation that contributes to the resort's unique character.
Taking only photographs and leaving only footprints helps preserve the environment for future generations to enjoy.
Building a Strong Community
At its heart, De Hollandsche Molen is more than just a holiday destination—it is a community. Courtesy, respect, and consideration for fellow guests create an environment where everyone feels welcome.
By following simple camping etiquette and embracing responsible resort living, we can ensure that DHM remains a place where families create memories, friendships flourish, and nature can be enjoyed by all.
Thank you for doing your part to help make De Hollandsche Molen a destination that everyone is proud to call their home away from home.
