Hi! SA friends!
I am just a French historian preparing a paper to be read, next July, at PMB campus. Congratulation! You have a very nice and interesting website. It really makes one feel like catching the first aircraft and fly over!
I was last at Saldanha in 2002, when I read a paper at the Military/Navy Academy. I spent there a wonderfull day. I sincerely hope that your country (which, in my heart is also mine) goes better and better again.
Very kind regards.

Letter from London
"I can't express in words how wonderful our stay at Papkuilsfontein was. The only problem was the brevity of our stay, oh how i wished we had booked a whole week..!"

"I had a great time. Did far more than I planned which was no bad thing after such a long journey - it would've been a shame just to sit by the pool for a week! There was possibly too much planned and I'd like to have had more time to do the same amount of stuff, but that was my schedule not yours. The whale trip was the best..."

The Slipway Waterfront Restaurant is at the edge of the tranquil waters of Saldanha Bay harbour (open 7 days a week). The Slipway's very own yacht, Sailtrader (plus a water taxi), stand at the ready to transport visitors around the harbour or out to sea, at your leisure.

|
The yacht and boat charters started in December 1990 and the Slipway Restaurant opened on 29 November 1992.
Mouthwatering oysters and mussels, home-grown in the bay, are our specialty. The options for mussels are limitless - from mussel and bacon bites, mussels in wine, or sweet' n sour sauce ... you won't be disappointed!
We serve fresh line fish, calamari (rings or steaks), pastas, plus the best steaks on the West Coast.
The private "Bill Henry" bar is fully licensed. The bar is named after two local Saldanha people who inspired Robert and Diane Schaafsma to the challenges of entrepreneurship and the love for Saldanha Bay.

Robert Schaafsma has a great love for the sea. He did a lot of fishing, surfing and diving when he was younger. In Saldanha Bay his passion changed to sailing and he built a couple of deep-sea sailing and -fishing boats. In 1980 he built a yacht, the Sailtrader (13, 6 metre), which he used in 1984 to circum-navigate Africa with his wife and 3 children for a period of 3 years. Back in Saldanha Bay in 1987 he built the specially designed Sailfisher (15 metre) sailing and fishing yacht which he used for commercial Deep Sea Fishing at Sea Mount Vema (550 nautical miles off the coast of Saldanha Bay). - from "Boat Builders History"

The best way to experience Saldanha Bay and that part of the West Coast is by staying with Jan and Christien Rabbijns of Avondrust Guest House for B&B, and combine the Slipway's menu with sailing on the special West Coast shores.
