Most hikers elect to be dropped off at the Beervlei Hut and stay overnight so they can get an early start the following morning.
I recommend this as this eases you into "hiking mode".
The hut has no electricity (although the outside toilets and showers do).
A nice firepit outside makes for a perfect evening planning the next days hike.
If you arrive and the hut is locked (as there is a community right next door) then simply phone the number on the sign at the entrance and someone will be along shortly to open for you.
Tips for Day 1:
- Take some meat (and perhaps a beer) for a braai (BBQ).
- This hut is close to civilisation so just be aware of keeping your doors closed etc.
