Family Fun and Safety at De Hollandsche Molen
Nestled in the beautiful Wemmershoek Valley, De Hollandsche Molen (DHM) offers families the perfect opportunity to relax, reconnect with nature, and create lasting memories. Whether you are spending the day swimming, enjoying a picnic under the trees, or simply taking in the breathtaking mountain views, safety remains everyone's responsibility.
By following a few simple guidelines, visitors can help ensure that DHM remains a safe, clean, and enjoyable destination for all.
Water Safety Comes First
The swimming pools and river areas are among DHM's most popular attractions, especially during the warmer months. While these facilities provide endless enjoyment, visitors should always exercise caution around water.
Parents and guardians are reminded that children must be supervised at all times. Never assume that someone else is watching your child. Young children should remain within arm's reach when near water, and non-swimmers should use appropriate flotation devices where necessary.
Visitors are encouraged to observe all safety notices and pool regulations and to avoid running or rough play in wet areas.
Children Need Active Supervision
A family outing is most enjoyable when children can explore and play safely. DHM offers open spaces and recreational areas that encourage outdoor fun, but active supervision remains essential.
Parents should ensure that children understand basic safety rules, remain within designated recreational areas, and respect other visitors. Teaching children to care for the environment and to show consideration for others contributes to a positive experience for everyone.
Respect the Resort and Its Natural Environment
DHM is privileged to be situated within a unique natural setting alongside the Wemmershoek River. Visitors play an important role in protecting this environment for future generations.
Please dispose of litter in the designated bins, avoid damaging vegetation, and refrain from disturbing wildlife. Respecting the natural surroundings helps preserve the beauty that makes DHM such a special destination.
Visitors are also requested to comply with all resort rules and instructions issued by management and staff. These rules exist to protect both visitors and the environment.
Be Prepared for Emergencies
Although emergencies are rare, preparedness can make a significant difference. Familiarise yourself with emergency contact information and the location of first-aid facilities upon arrival.
If you observe a hazardous situation, unsafe behaviour, or require assistance, please notify resort staff immediately. Quick reporting allows management to respond effectively and maintain a safe environment for all guests.

The combination of fresh air, beautiful scenery, family-friendly facilities, and a peaceful atmosphere makes De Hollandsche Molen one of the Western Cape's favourite day-visit destinations.
