Koringberg (B 15)

Name: Koringberg

Koringberg is a hamlet surrounded by expansive wheatfields, vineyards along the Berg River and mountains. It offers peace and tranquility, and is fast becoming a country lifestyle of choice for many professionals, nature lovers and people who want a slower, safer lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Koringberg is situated 15km from Moorreesburg on the N7 to Piketberg. At 120km, it is a mere one hour drive from Cape Town. The area was frequented by Harry die Strandloper in Jan van Riebeeck times. It was first called Warren’s camp and renamed to Koringberg in 1923, when the community decided to break away from the Dutch Reformed church in Hopefield and Moorreesburg.
