Dune Rose Holiday House – comfortable seaside accommodation in Yzerfontein

Dune Rose is a comfortable self-catering, sea-side holiday home located in Yzerfontein on the West Coast – just an hour’s drive from Cape Town.

Yzerfontein – some say it’s Ysterfontein, is a peaceful fishing village popular for its serene, natural beauty. Its simplicity is what brings families, groups of friends and romantic couples out to escape the noise of the big cities.

The climate is typically Mediterranean with warm, dry summers and mild, moist winters as well as low summer rainfall.

Dune Rose is situated only two meters from the Yzerfontein beach and within a few minutes of the town centre, beauty salons, shops, surrounding beaches and good restaurants.

While it is a beach-side holiday house, Dune Rose has all the trappings of a luxury guesthouse. Many of their previous guests had many wonderful things to say about the service they received from the owner and their stay at the holiday home.

Accommodation at Dune Rose Holiday House

The Dune Rose Holiday Home is airy with everything you might need for memorable self-catering stays. It can comfortably accommodate up to eight people.

You have at your disposal four bedrooms, three double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and a bedroom with two single beds and an adjoining bathroom. The bedrooms are spacious with extra-length beds covered in percale linen.

All the bathrooms in the house have showers and large baths with the exception of the room with the adjoining bathroom, which has a shower only.

The main bedroom has a private balcony and you can enjoy breath-taking views of the area from the patio. This patio has a built-in braai area and outdoor furniture.

If you are not eating out, the Dune Rose Holiday House boasts a fully-equipped open plan kitchen/lounge/dining room with a wine cupboard. The kitchen has a gas hob, eye-level oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge and deep freezer. Laundry facilities include a washing machine & tumble dryer.

Cold days can be spent book or wine glass in hand in front of the cozy built-in wood fireplace in the dining room. Your hosts will ensure it is stocked up prior to your arrival. The main bedroom also features a gas fireplace.

There is an outdoor hot/cold shower for refreshing up after a day at the beach.

What’s an outing without a braai? Thus, the house features an outdoor barbeque and entertainment area.

If you do not intend to do any chores during your weekend away, ask your hosts about the optional maid service.

Yzerfontein is generally safe. However, there is secure, off-street parking for your vehicles.

Reviews from Dune Rose Holiday House guests

“The perfect spot for a weekend away. Kick back and relax to enjoy the beach and ocean,” wrote Willem Myburgh in an online review.

Jesse Gillis added; “The Dune rose has to be the best luxury accommodation in Yzerfontein. There’s enough bedrooms to sleep a family and friends. The beds are amazing. It’s literally on the beach. It has a braai area, Wi-Fi and even an outside hot shower. I could not recommend this place highly enough. It is an amazing experience and I’m so fortunate to have been able to stay here.”

“Spectacular views and a beautifully furnished home,” said Clynton Harris.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa. Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation? Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose.

Expensive is not always better. Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday. They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice. A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday.

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance. Of these, service is the most important.

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion. However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review. We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience? The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table.

Well that’s our theory anyway. It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced. However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience. In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe. It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
