Amacebiso ngesixeko
Ukuhamba-hamba
Walking and borrowing our bikes is the only to get around.
No public transport as the island is so small.
Ungaphoswa
Bush walks, fishing & Golf Course.
To book the Golf Course, ask at the Curlew Cafe or use the Honest Box at the course. Avoid Thursdays and Saturdays. We have R/H clubs you can borrow. Also fishing rods. BYO bait or buy at Curlew cafe.
Izinto omele uzipakishe
Always wear shoes!
We have seen stonefish and stingrays and crabs in the water. (Also Dolphins and Turtles). Bring mozzie repellent in summer. Don't rely on the local shop. Bring what you think you will need. We have left a lot of 'extras' in the house for your use.
Amabinzana aluncedo
Everyone smiles, nods, says Hello.
You will have to remember to smile at everyone and be prepared to stop and chat.
Ukuhamba nabantwana
Kids will love it here and you can relax!
The water is shallow enough for you to let your kids play in the sea. However, when the tide is running, don't swim too far out. Watch out for the local donkey and goat wandering around, but don't pat them.

Remember the Speed Limit is 40k
There are few paths so everyone walks on the road. Slow Driving is essential.
