HELLO George,

Bril Uitkyk: Tradition Meets Passion

Welcome to Bril Uitkyk, a unique space in George where history and passion meet. Our space is in a building that was once a farmhouse for the farmers of the “Uitkyk” estate, rich in local heritage. Here, the past and present come together, blending our historic roots with a fresh, modern take on eyewear to create something truly unique. When you step into Bril Uitkyk, you’ll feel a sense of calm and inspiration, much like the peaceful moments Danielle finds while she’s running or dancing ballet. This space is more than just an optometry practice—it’s a sanctuary where tradition and innovation come together to create something truly beautiful.

At Bril Uitkyk, we believe in making the ordinary magical. We’re here to keep optometry fun and exciting, offering more than just a new pair of glasses—we want to give you an unforgettable experience. Every visit is filled with joy and enthusiasm, as we celebrate the little everyday moments that make life special.
We invite you to explore Bril Uitkyk, where the charm of our historic setting blends with a fresh, passionate approach to eyewear. Come see why our space is a favourite, filled with heartfelt tradition and a little bit of modern magic!

MEET THE TEAM

Danielle Hendrikse
Optometrist

Danielle’s journey with optometry has been one of rediscovery and passion. Initially, she felt unfulfilled, viewing her work as routine. But joining Bril Uitkyk changed everything. Immersed in a space that values creativity and personal touch, Danielle reignited her love for optometry.

Alongside her is Deidre, the optical assistant, who plays a key role in keeping the practice running smoothly and helping clients feel welcome. Together, they ensure every visit is special. Danielle thrives on finding eyewear that enhances vision and reflects individuality, with Deidre by her side, making sure everything flows seamlessly. At Bril Uitkyk, they’re more than a team—they’re passionate about turning everyday tasks into extraordinary experiences.

Fun Fact

Danielle can still dance on her toes like she did in the “good old days” and has even taken a leap off the Victoria Falls bridge! Deidre, on the other hand, has won several beauty competitions in the Western Cape and can make incredibly beautiful clothes!
