Moving to Yzerfontein was a turning point in the life of me and my husband, Izak, in 2012 as we started a new part of our life together after both losing our spouses to cancer. We got married after 3 months of knowing one another and chose at the time a very slow Yzerfontein as our new home – fulfilling my wish to own a guest apartment on the West Coast and my husband’s dream to stay in Yzerfontein. Marketing Kariza, our apartment, as a cute and cozy getaway destination for 2 was the first step of a quickly expanding business.
