Your local houtboer in Paarl and Wellington
Locally owned and operated, delivering premium, responsibly sourced firewood to homes and businesses in Paarl and Wellington. Ordering is a WhatsApp chat: our assistant helps you straight away, and one of us is there whenever you’d rather talk to a person.
Why “Die Houtboer”?
“Houtboer” is Afrikaans for “wood farmer”: the local who sorts you out when the woodpile runs low, or when Saturday’s braai needs proper kole. That’s where our tagline comes from:
“Hier boer ons braai”
Roughly: “here, we farm braai”. You bring the meat, we bring the wood.
At home in Paarl and Wellington
We deliver right to your door in Paarl, Wellington, Val de Vie and Pearl Valley, and in Klapmuts and Franschhoek for an additional fee.

How we work
WhatsApp is the shop counter
You chat to us on WhatsApp (our assistant, or one of us if you prefer), we confirm the details with you, and we bring the wood to your door.
For your home
At home, it starts with the fire. See our braai wood, or our fireplace and stove wood for indoor fireplaces and closed-combustion stoves.

We supply businesses too, from restaurants and guest houses to venues and wine estates: in Paarl, Wellington, Val de Vie and Pearl Valley, and in Klapmuts and Franschhoek for an additional fee. WhatsApp us, or send an enquiry through our contact form and we’ll get back to you.
Help first, sell second
When you just want advice, our wood and fire guides answer the questions we get most: how to make perfect braai coals, how to store firewood for winter, and which wood suits a closed-combustion stove.
