Welcome to Seeff Yzerfontein
Yzerfontein is the sleepy seaside-sister of the very endearing West Coast village of Darling. Both these settlements stand astraddle-astride with one foot in the sea and the other in Renosterbos sand. Just over an hour’s drive from Cape Town and within easy reach of its interior-neighbouring towns, Yzerfontein is a popular weekend and holiday destination. It consists of many holiday homes located around a beautiful bay with long stretches of white sandy beaches and the natural fynbos adds to the tranquillity of the scenic, unspoilt environment. In spring, the veld bursts into a kaleidoscope of colour – truly a feast to the eye.
The West Coast is renowned for its fertile fishing grounds and fishing culture. The village has a small harbour and the bay provides more than enough space for various kinds of fishing and boating. On weekends and over holidays when the weather permits fun in the sun, the strand is inundated with jet skis, kite boarders, surfers, kayakers, sunbathers and swimmers. Those who like a brisk walk while enjoying the boisterously blue hues of a seaside view will love the approximately 25-kilometre stretch all the way upto Posberg where you will find Pearl Bay beach with a wonderful view of Table Mountain.
This part of shoreline bordering the Atlantic Ocean ranks as one of the most popular coastal property belts for holidaymakers, retired residents and those who prefer to work from home or commute to the Mother City or surrounding towns for work. Yzerfontein offers basic facilities, convenience stores and restaurants. Other amenities are within easy reach in its neighbouring villages and towns. Local commercial fishermen catch snoek and yellowtail in season and contribute to the West Coast economy well known for its seafood, fish and crayfish. The people are wonderfully warm and always ready to welcome visitors at a number of open-air beach restaurants for an unsurpassed dining experience: seafood fresh from the sea, cooked on open fires while you enjoy the view.
Yzerfontein nestles alongside the West Coast National Park, about 70 kilometres north of Cape Town on the R27/West Coast Road. Close offshore is Dassen Island with a working lighthouse and home to many species of seabirds, penguins and Cape Fur Seals.
About 28 kilometres south of Yzerfontein, Jakkalsfontein offers nature lovers even more property options closer to Cape Town. Jakkalsfontein is the winner of 3 prestigious awards, including the National Premium Award for Integrated Environmental Planning and Management. Ongoing conservation programmes ensure that this exclusive green portfolio is well maintained and preserved. Title of individual properties is freehold with an undivided share in the private coastal nature reserve.
