Yzerfontein

Facebook
Yzerfontein is considered the ‘Pearl‘ of the West Coast. Yzerfontein, our hidden gem, is a pleasant one hour drive from the metropole of Cape Town, also lying 26km West of the Village of Darling. Having left the suburbs behind, the main arterial road, the R27, is a smooth, scenic drive heading north through long stretches of undisturbed fynbos with views of long bays and blue ocean to the left. The turn-off to Yzerfontein is well signposted and the road immediately hints at the interesting nature of this coastal Village.

It is located sandwiched between Sunwich Port and Sea Park, on the South Coast of KwaZulu Natal. Southport and the various little Suburbs, tend to regard themselves as extensions of Port Shepstone, so there is rarely anything to disturb a holiday idyll along this lovely stretch of Coastline. There is only 8 kilometres of travel to reach the variety of Shops, Restaurants and other entertainment in Port Shepstone, or the ‘buzz’ of Beach resorts in Shelly Beach, St Michaels, Uvongo and Margate.
