Vredenburg
Call it a tiff or a quarrel, a disagreement or a dispute, the fact of the matter is that the tale behind this town’s name starts with discord and strife, and a good old fight, like most great stories do. The word vrede means ‘peace’ and burg means ‘town’, but before peace and quiet came, tantrums were thrown and tempers flared over one of life’s most essential means, i.e. water. The site became known as Twisfontein (‘quarrel spring’), later renamed Prosesfontein (‘lawsuit spring’), but when the dust settled after the Dutch Reformed Church came to the rescue in 1875 by procuring peace between the two sides who fought over a freshwater spring, the town was promptly renamed Vredenburg (‘peaceful town’). Problem solved. And we all love a happy ending, don’t we?
Today Vredenburg is the transportation and commercial hub of the Cape West Coast. Located about 15 kilometres inland from Saldanha Bay and 140 kilometres north of Cape Town, Vredenburg is largest of the towns in the Saldanha Bay local municipality (one of the best operating municipalities in SA), and therefore the main business and administrate town on the West Coast. During the last few years the town has grown considerably due to large industries, such as Saldanha Steel, Duferco, Namakwa Sands and the Saldanha Harbour. The harbour in Saldanha is the deepest natural harbour and the second largest in South Africa. This has attracted various large overseas companies, such as Ferro Marine Africa, to invest here.
Vredenburg offers excellent modern amenities: superb schools and the West Coast College for tertiary education; various shopping centres, of which the West Coast Mall is the largest; outstanding healthcare facilities and two hospitals; several industrial areas, and great residential neighbourhoods. On recreational front, you can indulge yourself in various activities from golf, hiking and horse riding to bird watching and freshwater fly-fishing at locations in and around town and the neighbouring villages of Jacobsbaai, Paternoster, St Helena Bay, Velddrif, Dwarskersbos, and even as far as upto the Verlorenvlei.
Visit Vredenburg and surrounds during spring to experience nature’s splendour when she starts straightening her flowery ‘feathers’ and strutting her vygies and daisies, wille magrietjies and madeliefies. You will find these wildflowers transforming the Vredenburg landscape as well as the West Coast National Park’s. While you are it, you can also marvel at its other fauna and flora, go back in time in the West Coast Fossil Park and visit the Cape Columbine Nature Reserve and the Cape Columbine Lighthouse – a beacon amidst the rocks, and the only brick and mortar in the reserve.

Yzerfontein
Yzerfontein is the sleepy seaside-sister of the very endearing West Coast village of Darling. Both these settlements stand astraddle-astride with one foot in the sea and the other in Renosterbos sand. Just over an hour’s drive from Cape Town and within easy reach of its interior-neighbouring towns, Yzerfontein is a popular weekend and holiday destination. It consists of many holiday homes located around a beautiful bay with long stretches of white sandy beaches and the natural fynbos adds to the tranquillity of the scenic, unspoilt environment. In spring, the veld bursts into a kaleidoscope of colour – truly a feast to the eye.
The West Coast is renowned for its fertile fishing grounds and fishing culture. The village has a small harbour and the bay provides more than enough space for various kinds of fishing and boating. On weekends and over holidays when the weather permits fun in the sun, the strand is inundated with jet skis, kite boarders, surfers, kayakers, sunbathers and swimmers. Those who like a brisk walk while enjoying the boisterously blue hues of a seaside view will love the approximately 25-kilometre stretch all the way upto Posberg where you will find Pearl Bay beach with a wonderful view of Table Mountain.
This part of shoreline bordering the Atlantic Ocean ranks as one of the most popular coastal property belts for holidaymakers, retired residents and those who prefer to work from home or commute to the Mother City or surrounding towns for work. Yzerfontein offers basic facilities, convenience stores and restaurants. Other amenities are within easy reach in its neighbouring villages and towns. Local commercial fishermen catch snoek and yellowtail in season and contribute to the West Coast economy well known for its seafood, fish and crayfish. The people are wonderfully warm and always ready to welcome visitors at a number of open-air beach restaurants for an unsurpassed dining experience: seafood fresh from the sea, cooked on open fires while you enjoy the view.
Yzerfontein nestles alongside the West Coast National Park, about 70 kilometres north of Cape Town on the R27/West Coast Road. Close offshore is Dassen Island with a working lighthouse and home to many species of seabirds, penguins and Cape Fur Seals.
About 28 kilometres south of Yzerfontein, Jakkalsfontein offers nature lovers even more property options closer to Cape Town. Jakkalsfontein is the winner of 3 prestigious awards, including the National Premium Award for Integrated Environmental Planning and Management. Ongoing conservation programmes ensure that this exclusive green portfolio is well maintained and preserved. Title of individual properties is freehold with an undivided share in the private coastal nature reserve.
