Yzerfontein is a quaint fishing village on the West Coast, approximately 80 km from Cape Town on the R27, a perfect holiday location and weekend getaway for rock and surf fishing as well as diving, surfing and boogie boarding or simply enjoying the seaside. Spectacular sea life can be seen at various times throughout the year - whales, seals, dolphins to name a few.
The adjacent vlei's add to the magnificent bird life in the area. The most fascinating being the endangered African Black Oyster Catcher. Flanked with beautiful, untouched, safe beaches stretching all the way along the adjacent West Coast National Park. Yzerfontein also has a picturesque harbour suitable for launching boats.
Spear Chukka has three fully equipped cottages and the main house. The cottages accommodate four; two children and two adults, and the main house accommodates four adults. Located in a quiet corner on the north side of Yzerfontein where it borders the West Coast National Park. The adjacent Fynbos, pan and vlei area are home to a large variety of birds and the beach is a five minute walk away.
All cottages are fully equipped, ready for a peaceful self-catering stay. All bedrooms have double rooms with double beds and all linen provided. Kitchens are also fully equipped with a fridge, freezer, stove, oven and microwave. All cottages also have private outdoor areas with braai facilities.
"I enjoyed my stay at Spear Chukka. The surroundings were peaceful.The Kalahari was supplied with the necessary conveniences. The cottage was private.<br/>It was good value for money.<br/>"
"SPEAR CHUKKA'S Namaqua house is comfortable with all the self catering, TV, entertainment and braai facilities you need for a super lekker holiday at the sea. It is reasonably priced so what more can you ask for ?<br/><br/>The only negative for us was the steep stairs which were hazardous for our 1 year old."
"Absolutely enjoyed this house, has everything you need. So peaceful and quiet. Bonus was we were 5 minute walk from the beach. Can't wait to visit again."

"My boyfriend and I decided to spend the Easter weekend at Spear Chukka in Yzerfontein. We stayed in the Namib Cottage and what a wonderful stay it was. The cottage was lovely with it's own courtyard and garden, fully equipped kitchen, large bathroom (has an awesome shower) and nicely sized bedroom. The beach is about a 2 minute walk away from the cottage and at night you could hear the waves crashing on the beach. The birds were plentiful!We would definitely recommend Spear Chukka for your holiday break in Yzerfontein."

"Thank you Doug for the warm welcome and friendliness.Also for the helpful information regarding sightseeing on the West Coast.We enjoyed our 9 day stay at Spear Chukka and will again make use of the said accommodation in future."
"We had a most enjoyable stay despite the weather being otherwise!Yzerfontein is a most charming place. We were able to see marvellous flowers in the Postberg section of the West Coast National Park and had the most incredible game pie at the Buffelsfontein Nature Reserve. Darling was also a pleasure."
"Dough came to meet us as we arrived. We didn't even have to ring the bell and the entrance. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed. We went to Postberg Saturday morning and saw some beautiful flowers. The lagoon is always a site to see because of the colour of the water. It is so beautiful. We went for a walk on the beach and it is so clean. It rained on Sunday but that didn't make the stay less pleasant. We rode through the village and viewed the houses and the environment."
"Yzerfontein was beautiful in July winter time.Doug is a very friendly and welcoming host. The surrounding area is beautiful and the local people very friendly. The West Coast National Park experience was great. The week holiday was just what we needed.We are definitely going back in summer time. "
"The welcome and hospitality was special. Thanks"
"Yzerfontein was breathtakingly beautiful and Doug made us feel most welcome at Spear Chukka. It was nice to get local info from him and learn a bit about the history of the place. West Coast Park was lovely- would love to go during the flower season. 16 mile beach is awesome and the shells are like nowhere else to be found.Would definitely go back."
"Spear Chukka's unit was so well equipped and very neat. And Doug and Lin were so welcoming and hospitable. The even offered to lend us a gazebo and deck chairs for the beach! We had a stunning Christmas lunch - roast duck and gammon cooked in Doug's Weber. The beach at Yzerfontein is really beautiful and the setting is so peaceful. We bought local snoek caught fresh off the boats and crayfish in Paternoster. The unit overlooks lovely fynbos and dunes but is only 5 minutes walk to an unspoilt beach. Meeurots restaurant made excellent calamari and had a great wine list of local wines (thanks Doug for the tip!). Super holiday all in all."
"It was wonderful and very pleasant and homely.Doug was the best host you can find and his wife Linda made us feel as home"
"Our stay has been a great experience.With Boet and Pinto to keep us company, it made me feel right at home.Thanks to Doug & Linda for making us feel welcome!"
"The accommodation is very good value for money, very comfortable and well stocked with all necessities. The establishment is perfectly situated in a quiet neighbourhood, just a short walk from the most spectacular beach I have ever seen - miles and miles of pristine white sand. The birdllife is abundant, the locals are incredibly welcoming and the views are out of this world. Relaxation comes easily."
"Just what hubby & I needed, peace & quiet, relaxation and enough time to even do some sight seeing, the West Coast National Park was awesome, as Doug had described and would definitely go and view the flowers when in season.Thanks to Doug."
"Doug Bishop proved to be insightful about the area and also extremely helpful. This made our stay very enjoyable and paved the way for many more visits to Yzerfontein. Genuine hospitality and care left us with warm fuzzy feelings!!!"
"Want to say thanks to Doug for everything. Just what we needed, a weekend away from everything, pity the weekend was too short.Will definitely be back.Regards Jolene & James"
"Very warm and functional rooms. Great little braai areas and did not have that 'commercialised' feel to it. Best part was the two friendly dogs, 'Pinto' and 'Boet' who always made us feel very welcome. "
