The Pearl of the West Coast.
Yzerfontein, West Coast
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.
