In no better words could we describe what we strive for at every opportunity.

Strandkombuis, Yzerfontein, South Africa





This is a real treasure, hidden away on the quiet seaside of the West Coast in South Africa.  Yzerfontein is a small holiday town with breathtaking sunsets and welcoming locals.  


Take a turn off before hitting the town on a Sunday and let yourself discover the seafood delight. 

                

 

Family of mine has owned this remarkable location for years and it has grown into a cherished wedding destination for couples from all over the world.  The restaurant is set on the dunes with a spectacular view…

  


A Buffet Lunch is hosted on Sundays, where friends, families and couples enjoys a warm rustic atmosphere.  The staff prepares an impressive seafood banquet with local seasonal ingredients.  Dishes like, smoked Snoek, west coast mussels, prawns, calamari, Yellowtail and much more… 



I recommend booking well in advance.  Also, you are welcome to bring your own wine along.  And for those who wish to indulge completely, there is a convenient B&B attached to this unique operation.



This will always be a special place and one day I would be lucky to have something as exceptional for myself.
