📍 Camino Itinerary
Day 0: Arrival at Blou Porcelein Guest Farm
Meet fellow pilgrims at Blou Porcelein Guest Farm- a working farm. Arrive anytime after 4pm and before dark.
Day 1: 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 shops and galleries.
Day 2: 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 3: 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.
Day 4: Tulbagh ➝ Oudekloof Wine Estate (5km)
In Tulbagh, take a historical walk through the town with a map provided by your host, Carol. Cape Dutch architecture, quiet lanes, and stories woven into the walls. The basin, rich with history, has been inhabited for thousands of years by San (Bushmen) and Khoi-San peoples. The route continues past a small chapel, a quiet reminder of your Camino intentions, before the path climbs steadily toward the hillside vineyards of Oudekloof Wine Estate.
Day 5: Oudekloof Wine Estate Hilltop Walk (5-10km)
Explore Oudekloof Wine Estate on foot, walking the hills and farm paths.
Your transport can collect you after the day's walk.
