Start-up cleaning materials and toilet paper are provided.
The drains in Yzerfontein are either soak or Municipal pump drains, therefore, please use only toilet paper in the toilets. Bins are provided for any other items that need to be disposed of.

Household safety and security:
Please refrain from smoking in the bedrooms.
Please only make fires in the braai area .
Please confirm with owner where use of Webber is allowed
We should mention that even though Yzerfontein is statistically a very low crime area, caution should still be taken by keeping the premises locked and windows closed, when you are away.
A medical practitioner is available in town but unfortunately not 24 hours per day, contact numbers for them, the pharmacy and emergency medical response services are provided.
Every effort is made to service and maintain all amenities, equipment, and appliances to a fully operable and safe condition, and guests are requested to use and operate all these in a responsible manner. Kindly report any faulty conditions to the owners.
Our house is in a residential area, please respect our neighbours and refrain from events or parties.
Please do not step onto the FYNBOS in front of the deck as we are rehabilitating the area.

The environment:
The Yzerfontein residential area is surrounded by nature reserves and Green Belts 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 season and it is therefore advisable not to wander into the fynbos unattended. Should you encounter a snake please contact the ‘snake catcher’.
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.
Since the West Coast is an arid environment, please use water responsibly, this includes the washing machine.

Pets:
No pets allowed - unfortunately no exceptions.

Children:

Unfortunately no children under 12 welcome
