}}Wolvengat, also known as Viljoenshof, is a village in the southern Overberg region, in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It is situated {{convert|10|km|0}} south of Elim and {{convert|35|km}} southwest of Bredasdorp. It was originally named Wolfgat or Wolvengat in reference to the brown hyena, known as strandwolf in Afrikaans.[2] However, when the local post office was established the authorities named it Viljoenshof[3] in honour of DJ Viljoen, the Dutch Reformed (NGK) minister of Bredasdorp from 1904 to 1934;[4] this name was then extended to the village. The original name Wolvengat was officially restored in 1991.[5]

In the early 1900s the village had a school with 100 children, but by the early 21st century there was neither a church nor a school. The fertile soil, and the potential of using land for vineyards, explains the high property prices.[3]
