Kaggelhout, braai wood, Namibian hardwood and charcoal delivered to Malmesbury for R350, carried in and stacked, every second and last Friday of the month.
Swartland winters are the real thing — frost on the wheat, a wind off the Piketberg, and a farmhouse kitchen that runs on a wood stove from May to September.

Delivery to Malmesbury
The Firewood Company delivers kaggelhout, braai wood, Namibian hardwood and charcoal to Malmesbury, Wesbank, Panorama, Ilinge Lethu and the farms off the N7 and R45 for R350 per drop, on a fixed West Coast route every second and last Friday of the month. Offloading and stacking the bags included.
Delivery fee: R350 flat, whatever you order. Minimum order R2,000 on this route.
Delivery days: Every second Friday and the last Friday of the month — a fixed route, not an on-demand one. The turnaround for your order is shown at checkout before you pay.
Cut-off: order by Thursday 15:00 to make that Friday’s truck. Miss it and the wood waits for the next West Coast run, two weeks on — so order the week before the weekend, not the day before.
Offloading and stacking the bags: included. Unbagging is R10 a bag, added at checkout.
What a route-sized order costs, delivered: 20 × R120 kameeldoring + R350 = R2,750. The West Coast run carries a R2,000 minimum order, so two households on one street often share a drop.
Access: Town addresses are straightforward. For a farm, give us the farm name, which road it is off the N7 or R45, the gate code if there is one, and where the wood store or the stoep is. The truck will not manage a soft farm road after a week of rain — say so and the driver stops at the gate and carries.
Malmesbury: the local paragraph
Malmesbury is the Swartland’s town, and the Swartland is grain country: open, flat, and with nothing between the house and the weather. Winter here is colder than Cape Town by a margin that surprises people who move up the N7 — frost on the fields in July, a wind that comes straight across the wheat, and old farmhouses with thick walls that hold the cold for days. The fire is not decoration in a Malmesbury house; it is how the kitchen and the front room get through the season. Many farmhouses still run a wood-fired stove, and the newer houses in Panorama and out towards the golf course have a closed-combustion unit that wants dense wood and not much of it. Summer flips it — the braai goes outside, and harvest evenings on the stoep call for kameeldoring coals that hold while the crew eats in shifts.
It is a town that buys big and buys early. The families who have been here longest order their winter wood in April, before the first front, and the fortnightly West Coast truck is built for exactly that — a proper load, stacked in the shed, and done.
What we’d put on the truck for a Swartland farmhouse in April: twelve bloekom for the front room, six kameeldoring for the stove and the braai, two bags of Namibian hardwood mix for the closed unit, and a bag of potjie kindling. Well over the minimum, and most of a winter sorted in one drop.
What Malmesbury orders
Blue Gum / Bloekom Seasoned ±20kg — R109 — the everyday kaggelhout for an open farmhouse hearth. Seasoned and stored under cover, so it lights on a frosty morning.
Kameeldoring ±18kg — R120 — dense Namibian hardwood for the wood stove and the harvest braai. Long heat, deep coals, fewer trips to the shed.
Namibian Hardwood Mix ±15kg — R105 — a hand-packed mix of dense hardwood for a closed-combustion unit — more heat out of fewer pieces, and it burns clean.

Malmesbury firewood delivery — FAQ
How much is firewood delivery to Malmesbury?
R350 flat per drop, in town and to the farms off the N7 and R45. The West Coast route carries a R2,000 minimum order, and the fee shows at checkout before you pay.
When does the truck come to Malmesbury?
Every second Friday and the last Friday of the month. Malmesbury is the first stop on the West Coast run, so it is usually a morning delivery. Order by Thursday 15:00 to be on that Friday’s truck.
Do you deliver to Riebeek Kasteel, Riebeek West or Moorreesburg?
Not on the standard route yet. If you are in the Riebeek Valley or up the N7, WhatsApp 060 978 8945 with the address and the quantity — a farm-sized order or a few neighbours together is often enough to add a stop.
Which wood is best for a wood-fired kitchen stove?
Kameeldoring or the Namibian hardwood mix — dense wood that coals down and keeps radiating, so the stove holds temperature between top-ups. Bloekom is the cheaper nightly option for an open hearth in the front room.
Is your wood actually dry?
Yes, and we stake 25 years on it. Our bagged wood is seasoned and stored under cover, so it lights properly and burns hot instead of hissing at you. If a bag ever disappoints, tell us and we’ll make it right — that is the Dry Guarantee.
First frost on the wheat?
Order by Thursday 15:00 and you’re on Friday’s West Coast truck — carried in and stacked where you want it.
