A lifestyle, for sale.

Kilometres of empty white beaches to the north
and south, just waiting for your footprints.

Mere minutes from the
allure of the city.

Seabirds wheeling in the wide skies above;
the finer markers of luxury living below.

A short drive away,
view Africa’s free-roaming wildest.

Perfect your game without leaving the grounds
– or challenge your guests at one of the nearby courses.

Shops, restaurants, banks, medical
services and a host of other amenities
– balancing seclusion with convenience
and care for you.

Stroll through the marvel that is the Cape Floral Kingdom,
and see, first-hand, how spectacular a UNESCO World
Centre for Plant Diversity can be.

Toast the beauty – savour fine Cape wines from world-class
West Coast vineyards, or visit cosmopolitan Cape Town for
a change of pace.

Have it all.

Population: a mere 1 200. South Africa’s longest uninterrupted beach. Wildflower and whale-watching paradise.

A stone’s throw from private schools and hospitals. Just 30 minutes from shopping malls to the north and the south. An uncomplicated 95 km from Cape Town International Airport. A clear-day view of Table Mountain.

And you thought you couldn’t have it all.

In South Africa’s wide-open spaces, 87 km – the distance from central Cape Town to Yzerfontein – is all you need to escape the city’s confines. This West Coast fishing village, with its small-craft harbour, epitomises relaxation under the sun: boating, hiking, mountain biking, golf, surfing, fishing, day tours, birdwatching and entertaining.

But not at the expense of the amenities you’ve come to rely on. With a Spar supermarket, petrol station, major bank ATMs, restaurants, a doctor, telecommunications infrastructure and good mobile-network phone and data coverage, the village lets you get on with what’s important. A country drive of 20 km away, the town of Darling offers a theatre, its own micro-brewery, banks, supermarkets, a pharmacy and schools, including the independent Darling College. If it’s shopping malls you’re after, Cape Town’s suburban eight-cinema, 112-shop Bayside Mall is 30 minutes away to the south. Or enjoy the variety of heading north to Langebaan or Vredenburg for malls, car dealerships and private hospitals. To the south, you’ll find the Netcare Blaauwberg private hospital on the Yzerfontein road itself, a 116-bed facility on Cape Town’s edge with a helipad for airlifts and full intensive care, maternity care, specialist doctors and medical and surgical facilities.

All of which may be furthest from your mind as enjoy Yzerfontein’s crayfish and barracuda bounty in a gentle climate. Here, temperatures seldom dip below 10° C in winter and hover comfortably in the mid-to-high twenties through summer. Perfect conditions for exploring the nearby Langebaan Lagoon, West Coast National Park and !Khwa ttu San Education and Cultural Centre, which offers guided tours of indigenous San heritage and exciting big-game viewing. Or for making 16 Mile Beach your playground, under wide, blue African skies.
