    Hidden gem in Yzerfontein!!! Minimalistic and tranquility of the place. Private entrance to the beach. Surrounded by pure, natural and unsullied nature reserve. Home to flamingos just down the road. Amazing sunsets and sunrises!!!

    It's a perfect beach house experience and setting to go with it. Even though it was winter we managed some skim boarding and town is just around the corner for supplies.

    Just off the beaten track, but still walking distance (or short drive) to the main hub of Yzerfontein

A paradise apart...nostalgic beach stays does not get any better than this along the Cape West Coast. I feels like world away, just 40 minutes from Cape Town International Airport. White washed stylish simplicity with beautiful private deck overlooking the beach, farm, village, national park - its got it all!
Welcome. Here's a glimpse of our paradise here on the southern most tip of Africa. I dare you to exchange the currency of your hotel-meets-beach comfort zones for the wealth of a Cape-of-all-things-Good memory. Historic locations such as this add layers of beauty and a host of many stories! If you are curious of this beautiful part of our country (you should be!) and its people - then here's a cape-beauty-meets-the-ocean spot 40min from Cape Town Airport! I am a Mom of two girls and gratefull property owner and renovator. I desire for others to see the joy of this place through our eyes. Don't miss this one...
This historic area and the famous 16 Mile beach in front of the cottage is famous for: - Sport (almost of any kind) due to its safe wide open space. Sand bicycles (fat bikes) for hire (pre-booking only) - A rustic beach restaurant only 150m from the front door of the cottage, is the only of its kind along the coast also popular for its beach weddings - Walk via the beach to village restaurants and coffeee shops - Beautiful walking trials along the salt pans or long scenic beach hikes around the village to view the various islands or to the national park - Darling, the art and culture must-visit town of the West Coast is just 22km inland - The cottage neighbours the West Coast National park - which heralds the world famous wild flower reserve Postberg and warm greek island style bathing waters of Kraalbaai.
