Shop
in the Tankwa Karoo
Visiting Tankwa Padstal is a unique experience. From a distance you notice a flying saucer halfway buried in the Karoo soil and on closer inspection, more gems come into view - the mannequin crafted out of blue mosaic greeting you from a gate pole, the hippy Beetle trying to climb up a windmill..
As you enter the Padstal, owners Hein and Susan Lange are there to greet the weary traveller and make you feel right at home.
Our visitors are delighted with great food and a shop that overflows with unique trinkets and memorabilia from yesteryear.
On your next journey on the longest dirt road in South Africa, stop at Tankwa Padstal and feed your soul.

Route 355
Route 355 starts in Ceres and winds past farms and towns, ending in Kleinzee on the border of Namibia. On the stretch between Ceres and Calvinia, only 5km of this road is tarred, making it the longest gravel road in South Africa.
Explore the Tankwa, Hantam and Roggeveld, stop over in quaint hamlets, drink in the silence and feel the heartbeat of our land.
Take the road less travelled. Explore Route 355.
