Long before it was ever bottled, this land was cherished by the Khoisan people, who named it “Sietsiekamma” – “the place of clear water.” For centuries, its pristine springs have filtered through ancient quartzite rock, protected by forest, time and tradition.
That same purity flows today. We’ve simply found a way to bottle it – without disturbing what makes it sacred.
In 1997, founder Judy Woodgate discovered a natural spring on her farm in the heart of the Tsitsikamma. The water was unlike anything she had ever tasted – naturally sweet, perfectly balanced, and untouched by human interference. Inspired by its purity, she began a small-scale bottling operation, determined to share this rare gift from nature with others.
Tsitsikamma Spring Water has blossomed into a fully integrated operation – bottling both still and sparkling water, while manufacturing our own preforms and bottles directly on-site.
Why? Because taking responsibility for every step of the process allows us to protect what matters most:
Our bottling facility is located near the source, deep within a protected nature reserve.
No cities. No industry. No pollution. Just unspoiled nature.
As the spring water journeys through ancient layers of rock, it naturally absorbs trace minerals that give it a soft, subtly sweet taste.
We gently filter and UV-treat it for safety – without ever altering its natural purity or balance.
