For people who live here

The local list

Every town runs on the same quiet knowledge: which butcher to use, who actually answers the phone on a Sunday, whose koeksisters are worth queueing for. If you have just moved to Citrusdal, nobody hands you that list. So this is it — built by locals, for locals.

Most of these were compiled from public business directories to get the list started, and are marked unconfirmed until a local checks them. Phone numbers and addresses in small towns go stale fast — ring ahead, and tell us what is wrong.

How this list works

Nobody pays to be here. No sponsored slots, no better position for money. The moment this becomes an advertising board it stops being useful, and the whole point is that you can trust it.

It grows by word of mouth. Suggest someone you actually use — a name and roughly what they do is enough. We check it exists before adding it.

It is not complete, and never will be. Empty sections above are honest: we would rather show a gap than pad the list.

Suggestions, corrections and removals all go to hello@visitcitrusdal.com. If you are listed and would rather not be, say so and it comes down.
