Open Day at Base 4

Base 4 - the home of the Four Wheel Drive ClubThe first Sunday of every month is what we call "Open Day" when the club facilities at Base 4  are open to all - members and non-members. Base 4 is situated 800m off the R511 in Doornrantjes. (Click here to see Map)

There is always a meeting for new members around midday when they are told about the different facilities that the club offers. It is also possible to meet people concerned with the various divisions and to ask questions.

You should bring chairs and food for a braai. Normally fires are provided. The pub is usually open and people gather in the clubhouse and in groups around the property. Click here to see the Open Day programme.

Base 4 - The Home of the Four Wheel Drive Club

The Base 4 property, which is fully owned by the club, is a 14 ha area situated 800m off the R511 in Doornrantjes. (Click here to see Map) It is a quiet, tranquil place where you as a member can camp and relax or just spend the day, have a braai, test your vehicle and meet fellow members with the same interests. There is a lapa area with braai and picnic facilities, a play area for the children (currently being upgraded) and rustic but full ablutions with hot and cold water. The grassed camping area is well maintained and protected by many trees offering shade in the heat of the day.

The clubhouse, situated on the grounds, is ideal for private functions with full modern ablutions, a hall, bar and conference room. The swimming pool is also a great attraction for the children and also provides a place for the adults to cool off or just laze around.

There are a number of off-road obstacles for you to drive and test your skills. (We recommend that you complete our driver training course before attempting the more serious obstacles. See Driver Training section.) The lapa, clubhouse and/or grounds can be hired for private or business functions at a fee. See "Hiring Base 4" below. For bookings and more information you may contact our club secretary on 0861 393 272.
