What is it?

Die Stroompie is a celebrated coastal landmark with over 150 years of history. Originally a favorite resting spot for local fishermen, it is now a preserved site of natural beauty and family heritage that has been intentionally kept in its wild, undeveloped state.

Where is it?

It is located along the Kleinmond coastline in South Africa, situated between Dewetsbaai and the Palmiet River. The property stretches from the main road down to the sea, bordering a municipal nature reserve.

Whose is it?

The land was acquired in the 1950s by J.R. Albertyn (Oupa) and gifted to his five children on Christmas Day in 1959. Today, it remains a private sanctuary owned by the Albertyn family and is the heart of a "gathering" tradition that has united generations since 1967.

Why?

Die Stroompie exists to honor a family legacy and protect a unique piece of the South African coast. By resisting development and focusing on conservation, the family ensures that the indigenous flora and the spirit of the land are preserved for the future.

The Goal?

Our goal is to preserve the memories, stories, and natural integrity of Die Stroompie. Through active clearing of invasive species and maintaining the land as a "rusvase" (resting place), we ensure it remains a sanctuary for the family and a pristine part of the Kleinmond landscape.
