📍 Camino Itinerary
Day 0, 5 Oct: Arrival at Fynbos Estate
Meet fellow pilgrims in the Paardeberg and settle in. Arrive anytime after 4pm and before dark.
Day 1, 6 Oct: Fynbos Estate ➝ Kalmoesfontein (14km)
Your first host might offer a brief nod—or nothing at all. Don’t take it personally. Settle in, say hello to the donkeys, and take a moment under the stars to set your Camino intention—whatever that may be.
The next day’s 14km walk follows dusty gravel roads. It’s scenic, but parts are unmarked. You’ll get a hand-drawn map, and there’s some signage, but wrong turns happen. There’s no chaperone and limited signal—navigating is part of the experience.
Day 2, 7 Oct: Kalmoesfontein ➝ Hermon (17km)
You’ll walk through morning mist and vineyards, guided by a chaperone along lesser-known farm paths. The route offers wide views over fertile land and quiet, open space. You end the day on the banks of the Berg River in Hermon—a steady presence, much like the Camino itself.
Day 3, 8 Oct: Hermon ➝ Riebeek Kasteel (14km)
Following the Berg River, you arrive in Riebeek Kasteel, a charming town where agriculture meets modern flair. Your rest house is nearby local eateries and galleries.
Day 4, 9 Oct: Riebeek Kasteel ➝ Gouda (15km)
In Gouda, you’ll stay at Die Workshop, a quirky rest house filled with motorbikes and the easygoing warmth of the Smuts family. They've created a loft space just for pilgrims, where dinner is whatever’s on the stove (or braai). The day’s walk takes you through wide agricultural lands and along the gentle flow of the Berg River.
Day 5, 10 Oct: Gouda ➝ Tulbagh (16km)
The route winds past a network of streams, and after rain, you may need to walk barefoot through shallow crossings. The Tulbagh Valley is a glimpse through the platteland into a lush, sheltered basin. End your Camino here.
