Useful information on your permit
The reverse of the permit includes a QR code linking to the Bazley Holiday Guide, which contains useful information for residents and visitors, including local attractions, helpful tips, emergency contacts and more.
The permit also carries an important reminder about accessing Ndasingane during wet weather.
Access during or after heavy rain
Driving to Ndasingane during or immediately after heavy rain is strongly discouraged. The road can become extremely muddy and vehicles may become stuck.
If you choose to use the road in these conditions, please be aware that neither Illovo nor the Bazley Residents Association (B.R.A.) will be able to assist with recovering your vehicle. You will need to arrange and pay for a tow truck.
Important information about the Ndasingane Beach Permit
Ndasingane Beach is public
The beach is open to everyone, but the access road passes through private Illovo Sugar property. Only vehicles displaying a valid Bazley Beach permit may use this road.
Access control
In accordance with our agreement with Illovo, the B.R.A. appoints a boom guard to control vehicle access.
The guard is on duty during weekends and school holidays from 07h30 to 15h00. At other times, permit holders must use their key to unlock the boom gate.
Please ensure that the gate is locked after both entering and leaving.
Permits are available to Bazley residents only
Beach permits are exclusively available to Bazley residents. When purchasing your permit from Mac Nicol’s Caravan Resort, your residency will be confirmed against the B.R.A. database.
If you are a new homeowner and your details have not yet been added to our database, please contact Brenda Angus on 082 769 3287 before purchasing your permit to ensure that you are listed.
One vehicle per permit
Each permit provides access for one vehicle only.
Please do not place our boom guard in a difficult position by requesting vehicle access without a valid permit. He has been instructed to enforce the access rules strictly.
More than just beach access
Your permit also includes:
- The NSRI emergency helpline number, should you witness anyone in distress at sea.
- A QR code linking to the Bazley website, helping you stay connected with village news, useful information and local resources.
When visiting Ndasingane—or any of Bazley’s beautiful beaches—please remember to leave only your footprints behind.
Consider taking a small bag with you on your beach walks to collect any litter that may have washed ashore. By each doing our bit, we can help keep Bazley’s coastline clean, beautiful and unspoilt for everyone to enjoy.
