Experience Summer at De Hollandsche Molen Day Camp
As the warm summer months approach, there is no better place to relax, unwind, and create lasting memories with family and friends than De Hollandsche Molen (DHM). Nestled in the picturesque Wemmershoek Valley between Paarl and Franschhoek, DHM offers day visitors a unique opportunity to enjoy the beauty of nature while taking advantage of a wide range of recreational facilities.
Whether you are looking for a peaceful escape from the city, a fun-filled family outing, or simply a place to cool off on a hot summer day, DHM has something for everyone.
One of the resort's most popular attractions is the fresh river water swimming pools and the scenic Wemmershoek River, where visitors can relax, enjoy the fresh mountain air, and spend quality time outdoors. Spacious picnic areas, shaded lawns, braai facilities, and open recreational spaces provide the perfect setting for families and groups to gather and enjoy the day together.
To further enhance the visitor experience, DHM has recently completed a major upgrade of its Day Camp Ablution Block. The new facility features a modern and spacious design, improved hygiene standards, enhanced convenience, and dedicated facilities for persons with disabilities. Water-saving technology has also been incorporated to support responsible environmental management while providing visitors with clean and comfortable amenities.
Visitors can also enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds the resort. The magnificent mountain scenery, abundant birdlife, and tranquil riverside setting create an atmosphere that is both relaxing and rejuvenating. Children have ample space to play and explore, while adults can enjoy a leisurely day in one of the Western Cape's most beautiful outdoor destinations.
At DHM, the safety and enjoyment of our guests remain a priority. Visitors are encouraged to respect resort rules, supervise children at all times, keep the environment clean, and help preserve the natural beauty that makes DHM such a special place.
This summer, make De Hollandsche Molen your destination of choice for outdoor recreation, family fun, and relaxation. Whether you are visiting for a few hours or spending the entire day, we look forward to welcoming you and sharing the unique DHM experience.
