The environment:
• The Yzerfontein residential area is surrounded by nature reserves and Green
Belts are running through the town. We ask that guests always respect the
environment.
• Apart from a variety of small wild animals there are also snakes such as
Puffadders and Cape Cobras during the warmer seasons and it is therefore
advisable not to wander into the fynbos unattended. Should you encounter a
snake, please contact the “snake catcher” on the number provided in the
information book.
• At certain times of the year, such as the breeding season, ostriches could be
dangerous too, rather do not approach them at any time and give them right
of way – they were here first!
• Since the West Coast is an arid environment, the local communities
experience water restrictions from time to time. Please help us by using water
responsibly.

Pets:
• Unfortunately, we cannot welcome any pet
