On our first trip to the Cape from Natal we came to Witsand on a holiday in 1983. Both of us fell in love with the place and knew this was were we wanted to retire.  Well, things don't always happen as planned - "yes", we now live in this majestic place and "no" we haven't retired. I have a Hairdressing Salon which I love) and my husband Doug is in the building trade. We both love fishing  on weekends, especially early in the morning when the bird life is in abundance and the sunrises are to die for. The three cottages (Shell Cottages)  were built up as a working business for when we retire. All cottages are self catering and have spectacular river views.
