Directions to Mooihoek

Google Maps

Take the Hankey Turnoff from the N2 Highway.

(R331 from Port Elizabeth or R330 from Humansdorp)

Drive for approximately 24km (17 minutes) until you reach a 4 way stop with the SPAR visible on your right side. Follow the road towards Patensie.

You may notice Hankey schools to your left and right just before the Brown Mooihoek Strawberry Icon signpost on your left.

Also look out for a big green signpost for Backhousehoek, Milton and Vensterhoek.

Turn left and carry on for another 5 minutes following the Strawberry Icon signs.

Park your vehicle in the designated parking area.

Food & Drinks

Our kiosk is located near the fields and sells the most delicious ice cold & fresh smoothies, soft serve ice cream, strawberry juice, water, frozen and dried berries as well as homemade snacks such as strawberry cheesecake, boereworsrolls and lots more to enjoy there under the shade.  Please, no outside food and drinks will be allowed.

There will be something for all to make this an unforgettable experience for yourself and the rest of the visitors.

Please see our rules

Wheelchair Access

We welcome wheelchair users to Mooihoek, however our grounds can be uneven.  We want our guests with special needs to have as much fun as possible, and there will be enough space along the strawberry blocks where they can operate.  

Please ask our Berry Crew for assistance.  They will show you where to park and help in any way possible.  Unfortunately we do not currently have a disabled toilet available.

What to Bring

Your whole family?
Sunscreen, Hat, umbrella, comfortable shoes and a lot money to spoil yourself.  Please, no outside food and drinks allowed.  Support our kiosk next to the fields.

Comfy Clothing.

It can become very hot in the full sun, so wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing. Bring an umbrella to protect against the sun and it can be handy when it rains, especially if you have young children with you.

Remember a hat & sunscreen. We have limited shaded areas close to the fields.

  • Arrive early in the mornings while the strawberries are nice and cool!
  • Look through the plants, moving the leaves away to search for the best berries
