Papendorp is located at the mouth of the Olifants River and at high tide it is possible to navigate to Lutzville on a flat-bottomed boat, about 30 km upstream. Ebenhaezer, a Rhenish mission station established in 1831 is located a few km further inland, on the road between Papendorp and Lutzville.[1] There are salt pans in the area that are exploited commercially. Strandfontein is located a few km south down the coast.[2]
