GENERAL INFORMATION

Margate Airport is 10 minutes away and SA Airlink schedules daily flights from the major centers. Car rental agency offices are situated at the airport building. 
Figtree Lodge offers free airport transfers on request. 

Places of worship for all denominations are located through the South Coast regions. There are good private and general hospitals in the region. Due to the sometimes-harsh sun, it is advisable to use a suitable SP factor sun cream when outdoors. Those who burn easily might wish to pack a large brimmed sun-hat. 

The South Coast is a holiday area, and smart-casual clothing will suffice in most venues. Very few restaurants request formal attire. Winter evenings can become slightly chilly and it is advisable to pack a jersey and a waterproof windbreaker.

Although the area is relatively safe in comparison to the major centers, it is not advisable to walk alone at night in isolated areas, and for your safety, we do not recommend that you leave valuables unattended on public beaches. 

Cell phone reception is good and there are public call boxes in most centers. While on holiday with us, you are welcome to have your e-mail forwarded to our address. 

Please be aware that the Protection Services have adopted a policy of zero tolerance to crime. Speed limits are enforced and excess alcohol levels are dealt with severely. Please drive safely, buckle up and arrive alive.
