The small village of Ebenhaezer is surrounded by a predominantly farming community that produces mainly lucerne (alfalfa), beans and coriander. Ebenhaezer and Papendorp overlook the Olifants River Estuary. The nearby wetlands of the Olifants River Estuary are an important habitat for migratory birds and for many other species of birds. The main source of income of the residents of Papendorp is derived from fishing in the estuary.
