Firewood Delivery in Malmesbury

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 twice a month on a Friday, and the driver carries the bags into the shed and stacks them — that is in the fee.

Delivery fee: R350 a drop, town or farm. The West Coast route carries a R2,000 minimum order, which an April winter order clears easily.

Delivery days: twice a month on a Friday, next on Fri 23 Oct, and Malmesbury is the first stop, so it is usually a morning delivery. A fixed route, not an on-demand one; checkout shows the next run before you pay.

Cut-off: Wednesday 15:00 for that Friday’s truck. Miss it and the wood waits a fortnight for the next run — order before the front, not during it.

Carry-in and stacking: in the fee, gate to shed. If you want the bags emptied into the wood store, unbagging is R10 a bag at checkout.

What a route-sized order costs, delivered: the April farmhouse load below — twelve bloekom, six blackwattle, four kameeldoring and kindling — comes to about R2,500 before the R350 fee, well over the R2,000 minimum. In town, 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.

The Swartland’s town, with nothing between the house and the weather

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 blackwattle for the stove, four kameeldoring for the braai, 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 harvest braai. Long heat, deep coals, fewer trips to the shed.

Namibian Hardwood Mix 15kg — R105 — a hand-packed mix of dense hardwood for the braai and the fire pit — long, even coals, 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?

Twice a month on a Friday, about two weeks apart. Coming runs: Fri 23 Oct, Fri 13 Nov, Fri 27 Nov and Fri 11 Dec. Malmesbury is the first stop on the West Coast run, so it is usually a morning delivery. Order by Wednesday 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?

Blackwattle or bloekom for the stove — steady heat between top-ups, without running it too hot. Bloekom is the cheaper nightly option for an open hearth in the front room.

Is the wood dry enough to light on a frosty Swartland morning?

Yes. Every bag is seasoned and kept under cover at our Parow yard until it goes on the West Coast truck, so it lights first time and burns hot instead of hissing. That is the Dry Guarantee we have stood behind for 25 years: if a bag disappoints, tell us and we make it right. Stacked in a closed shed, it stays that way all winter. Read the Dry Guarantee.

Can a farm order a whole winter’s wood in one drop?

Yes — that is what the fortnightly truck is for. There is no maximum, and a farmhouse order of forty or fifty bags in April is normal on this route. Give us the farm name, the road off the N7 or R45 and where the shed is in the order notes, and the driver stacks it there.

Do you deliver to the Panorama and golf-course side of Malmesbury?

Yes — all of Malmesbury, Wesbank, Panorama and Ilinge Lethu is on the same Friday truck at R350 a drop. Give us the estate or complex name and the gate procedure in the order notes; checkout confirms the fee from your postcode before you pay.

Is the Northern Suburbs R200 route any use to us up the N7?

Only if you have an address there. Malmesbury itself is on the West Coast run at R350 with a R2,000 minimum; if you would rather collect, the factory shop at 35 Tredoux Street, Parow is open Monday to Friday 08:00–16:30 and Saturdays 08:00–12:45, and there is no minimum on collection.
