Yzerfontein is a small harbour town with about 1200 inhabitants on the west coast of South Africa about 90 km north of Cape Town. The name in Dutch means "Iron Fountain".The town started out when the farm 'Yzerfontein' was bought by the Katz-family in the 1930s. Then they started dividing the farm into plots. The main sources of income are tourism (especially during the wildflower season from August to October), mining and fishing.

I spent at least 45 minutes in this tiny shop looking at all the wonderful natural treasures. A definite cut above the normal store selling objects and crafts. The owners manufacture certain of the items locally and also deal directly with female empowerment groups to manufacture. I can spend a fortune in this shop and going again and again to purchase some of the most exquisite felted throws and bags I've ever come across. If you're in the Cape Town area this shop deserves a drive out to explore

Excellent, clean and long beach, ideal for taking a long walk.... Police and life savers were constantly on site, toilets clean and a bar/restaurant nearby. Plenty of parking and not too many people!

Great farm stall, conveniently located, good outdoor seating options, quick service and food good, portions generous and the best chips of our holiday so far. Pleasant place to sit, with lots of options for food and drink, things to buy and bakery. We had venison pie with gravy and chips, chicken burger and avo on toast. All excellent. Left laden with bread, rolls, koeksuster, cheese and local butter and beer. Good value all round, recommend.

I'm Dominique, a 45yr old South African lady. I have always had a passion for horses and in 2004 started a horse livery business and committed to doing endurance horse riding full time, obtaining my national colours and competing for South Africa at the World Equestrian Games. Coming from a tourism backgound, I used that experience to start a horse trail business in 2011. Recently I moved to the West Coast, offering beach rides, nature and game rides, wine tasting, and multi day horse trails.
