Relaxing first afternoon

Anyone wanting to take it easy on the first day can join us sitting on a beach looking over the Atlantic. Strandkombuis is a local seafood restaurant serving fresh fish and local produce.

Lunch begins at 1pm so a quick shower and change will be needed, but once there we can spend the afternoon relaxing and talking to the locals. They always know the best places to visit and where the best views are to be found...

Directions to Yzerfontein

Once through customs, you can find your transport and head for the beach houses. Both houses are in Yzerfontein which is 80km from the airport and around a good hour's drive.

Head West onto the N2, then north on the N2 and then North on the M7 which turns into the N7. You turn off onto the M14 and follow this for around 5km. You then have a choice to turn onto the R27 which travels up the coast around 1km inshore. Personally, we'll be following the M14 to the coast and then going North with a sea view and smell of the Atlantic wafting through the car windows. The M14 then meets up with the R27 and continues North. Turn off onto Yzerfontein Road and head towards the sleepy fishing village where you will be spending the next week or so gazing out to sea.

Once you hit Yzerfontein, you can then meander through the village and see the sights. Those wanting to get to the houses can follow the road which turns into Main St. Once Main St comes to an end there is a right turn onto Dassen Island Drive. Following this road for around 2km should bring you to either of the two houses.

See you there :-)

Arrival at Cape Town Int'l Airport

Arriving at Cape Town International Airport will be the first step on South African soil for most of our wedding guests.
The airport is situated just outside Cape Town about halfway between the main city and Stellenbosch.
Car hire facilities and taxis are available at the airport but it may be advisable to pre book. We will contact everyone to see if they prefer to group book a minibus or hire a car themselves.

It's finally up...

Hi Folks,

We finally managed to get the blog up, so we'll be putting more information up asap.
