The Trail House, Betty's bay

Offering down to earth, quality, budget accommodation The Trailhouse is down to earth and close to nature. There are outdoor braai areas in the garden.

Tucked away at the foot of the Kogelberg Mountains overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Rod's Hiking Trail starts 50m from the house and takes you through the heart of the Cape Floral Kingdom, home to one of the planet's most complex bio diversities and a World Heritage Site, to the Harold Porter Botanical Gardens. Within walking distance of the village center and the main beach, it is a perfect blend

of two worlds. The Studio is a fully self-catering, detached, open-plan unit. It is upstairs with both sea and mountain views and a gas braai for the front deck. The Trailhouse is on ground level and has three en-suite bedrooms, with a sea or mountain view. A dining room with a fridge-freezer, microwave, cutlery and crockery, also has an indoor fireplace. Activities and attractions in and around Betty's Bay abound as far as the eye can see and your time, energy and sense of adventure allows. A hiker's paradise with a host of marine, wildlife, bird and plant species are a few reasons why the area attracts nature lovers of all ages and caters for every mood. Wine estates, markets and farm stalls par excellence, world class golfing, nature reserves and unspoiled beaches as well as Zipline and rafting adventures are all in the vicinity. The African Penguin Colony, Sugar birds and The Cape Rock jumper as well as seasonal Whales, porcupines and baboons are among some of the local residents.

PUT PERSONAL SAFETY FIRST WHEN FROLICKING IN THE WAVES

As much as Overstrand is renowned for its delightful beaches where holidaymakers and residents can laze in the sun and cool off in the ocean during the hot summer days, this part of the coast is, unfortunately, also prone to rough seas and rip currents.

For the sake of your personal safety:

• Preferably swim where lifeguards are on duty and follow their instructions at all times, including not venturing outside the safe zone demarcated by red and yellow flags.
• If no lifeguards are on duty, never go swimming unaccompanied. Be sure that at least one other person will be watching you from the beach and that that person will be able to spot you in the breakers at all times.
• It is extremely dangerous to practise any form of water sport (swimming, surfing, paddle skiing, etc.) when under the influence. Drugs and alcohol dull the senses, slow reactions and cause irresponsible behaviour.
• Always pay attention to the condition of the sea. If a storm is brewing or if a spring tide is due, best to avoid the ocean all together.

• Know how to spot a rip current. The NSRI advises that you should look out for:
• • Water through a surf zone that differs in colour from the surrounding water
• • A change in the incoming pattern of waves (waves often do not break in a rip channel)
• • Seaweed, sand ‘clouds’ or debris moving out to the backline where waves are forming through the surf zone
• • Turbulent or choppy water in the surf zone in a channel- or river-like shape flowing away from the beach

• If you are caught in a rip current, the most important thing to remember is: Do not panic.
• Stay calm and force yourself to relax. You are not going to win a fight with the ocean.
• A rip current will not pull you under the water. So long as you can float, you will be safe until you can escape the current.
• Swim slowly and conservatively to the side and out of the current or relax and let it carry you out past the breakers until the current slacks and then make your way back to the beach.

If you see someone in trouble in the sea, don’t put your own life in danger as well. Alert the lifeguards or seek help:
* To report a sea rescue emergency, dial 112 from your mobile or contact NSRI Hermanus on 082 990 5967 or NSRI Kleinmond on 063 699 2765.
* Alternatively, call Overstrand Municipality’s 24-hour Fire & Rescue Emergency Services on 028 312 2400.
