Firewood Delivery on the Atlantic Seaboard: Camps Bay, Sea Point & Green Point

A sunset braai on the Atlantic Seaboard is one of the better things you can do with an evening — right up until you realise the only firewood in the flat is the half bag someone left over from December, and it has been quietly absorbing sea air ever since.

Living on this side of town comes with its own braai constraints: less storage, smaller braais, tighter parking and neighbours close enough to notice your smoke. All of which makes the quality of the wood matter more, not less.

Where we deliver

Limpopo Hardwood delivers to Camps Bay, Sea Point, Green Point, Three Anchor Bay, Gardens, Tamboerskloof, Oranjezicht and Vredehoek, straight from our depot to your door.
Delivery is priced by area (see every area and fee) and worked out at checkout, so there are no surprises when the bakkie arrives.

Braaiing in a flat, sensibly

Most of our Atlantic Seaboard and City Bowl orders are 7 kg and 10 kg bags, and that is usually the right call:

• A 7 kg bag is enough for a braai for two to four people on a standard balcony braai, and it fits in a cupboard rather than taking over the lounge.
• A 10 kg bag covers a longer evening or a slightly bigger crowd.
• Dense hardwood makes less smoke, which matters a great deal when your neighbour’s washing is three metres away.
• Charcoal is worth keeping alongside the wood for weeknights when you want coals in twenty minutes rather than an event.

Storage tip that saves a lot of disappointment: keep the bag off the floor and out of the sea air. A balcony box or the top of a cupboard is fine. Sea-facing flats are humid, and even good wood will take on moisture if you leave it open to the elements for weeks.

Which wood should you actually order?

Short version: they all burn well, they just burn differently.

• Sekelbos — the all-rounder. Lights without a fight, burns hot,
  gives you a proper coal bed. If you are not sure what to order, order this.
• Rooibos — dense and long-burning, with a subtle sweetness in the
  smoke. Good for a slow afternoon where the fire has to last.
• Soetdoring — sweet thorn. Hot, clean and steady, and it makes
  coals that hold their heat while you argue about whether the meat is ready.
• Swarthaak — the heavyweight. Hardest to light, longest to burn.
  Worth it for potjie and for anything that needs hours rather than minutes.
• Bluegum and Redgum — the
  familiar Cape braai woods. Reliable heat, easy to work with, good value in bigger bags.

Getting it going is easier with kindling (8 kg for R45) and a box of
firelighters. If you would rather skip wood altogether for a quick weeknight braai,
there is Namibian charcoal at R50 for 5 kg.

Why dry wood matters more than the label on the bag

Wet wood is the single most common reason a braai goes badly. Water in the wood has to boil off before the
wood can burn, so you get hissing, thick smoke, a fire that keeps dying, and a braai master who keeps
insisting it is “nearly ready”. It also coats your grid and your food in the sour, sooty smoke nobody wants.

Our wood is dried before it goes out, which is why it lights faster, burns cleaner and gives you more heat
per kilogram. That last part matters for your wallet too: a bag of properly dried hardwood does more work than
a heavier bag of damp wood at the same price.

Bag sizes and what they cost

Everything below is sold by weight, not by a vague “bag” that shrinks when nobody is looking.

Going bigger? Bulk pieces run from R1 699 for 500 pieces (around 300 kg) up to
R4 620 for 1 000 pieces of Swarthaak (around 840 kg). The full range is on the
bulk pieces page.
