Cottage to die for in beautiful, tranquil surroundings.

Wendy, the host, is such a beautiful person, and her sense of style and attention to detail is a must to experience. I loved the quaint, well-equipped, and superbly decorated cottage. It was such a memorable place to visit and will return next year.

Heerlik gebly en baie gasvry.

Pragtige antieke styl met baie liefde en detail gedoen. Gevoel soos 'n plaas vakansie omring met rustigheid.

Super relaxing "quaint" cottage.

Stayed in the cottage. Beautiful grounds. Totally relaxing. Perfect host! About 650m walk to The Red Rooster and bakery. Hot water even during power outages. Cottage-style furnishings - overused cliche of "quaint" applies. Carpets and bath mats need a good clean or replacement. Same with the shower curtain. Not for the modernist or minimalist. Good for animal lovers.

Laventaba Guest House 's response

Thank you for your nice review, Duncan.
The cottage has worn Persian Carpets. They are cleaned regularly.
Apologies for the shower curtain and bath mat. I will certainly look into it. Kind regards, Wendy.

Sjarmante verblyf op unieke dorp.

'n Kuier in hierdie besonderse huis met sy ouwêreldse sjarme is 'n verkwikkende ondervinding. Heerlike ontbyte en 'n knetterende kaggelvuur teen die winterkoue - wat kan 'n mens meer vra.

Charming accommodation in a unique village.

A visit to this extraordinary house with its old world charm is an invigorating experience. Delicious breakfasts and a crackling fire against the winter cold - what more can you ask for.

Fantastic arty accommodation with romantic feel and touches. Hostess very friendly and helpful.

We tried Wakkerstroom as a stopover destination on our way to Johannesburg having stayed in Harrismith in the past. The accommodation was what we hoped for - being a very arty and friendly chalet. Wendy was very friendly and helpful phoning us in the morning to assist us in our route selection and when we got there giving us some advice on where to eat. Some comments: It would be great if the chalet could have a small bath where the clothes rail is for those cold winter nights!

Thank you so much for your great comments.

Had a lovely stay and would recommend the Laventaba Guest House.

Wakkerstroom is a little town with lots of history and Laventaba Guest House reflects exactly that. The owner was friendly and kind. The breakfast was unique and delightful.

Laventaba is 'n uitstekende gastehuis en Wakkerstroom 'n uitstekende bestemming!

Wendy was die perfekte gasvrou. Van die warm ontvangs met die intrapslag tot met ons vertrek het sy ons tuis laat voel. Die kamers is keurig versorg en gemeubileer. Sal beslis aanbeveel!
