Staff:
Thelma and Nancy do the house cleaning and will happily make fat cakes (vetkoek) and home made Xhosa bread for you. Please bring your own flour and yeast, etc.. They can also arrange crayfish, fish and mussels as appropriate during season (sea and weather conditions permitting).
Thelma and Nancy have both worked at the cottage for over 40 years and are super helpful and completely trustworthy. Tyson is Nancy's son and is available to help with any manual chores that are needed.
As this is their only form of employment we do ask that our guests please treat them well, as they are part of our happy family cottage.
Tyson is able to assist with the key for the boom gate to access the launching-site for boats at the river.
Xora mouth is a most unique holiday destination and promises an unforgettable holiday!
