We had a great time at Laventelbos. The location is very nice, you can see and smell the sea from the house. Lots of space for children to play and cycle safely. The house is simple, but very nicely furnished with everything you need. We will stay there again if we get the chance.

Rest and peace!
The weekend getaway for our son's birthday was food for the soul on Laventelbos' beautiful seaside farm and spacious house with everything and more than was needed. The massive indoor braai that doubles as a fireplace created a warm, homely atmosphere and the goats and loving, well-mannered dogs on site made our weekend! The owners are hospitable and went the extra mile to make our weekend fantastic. The veranda with a swing sofa and sea view was special. The beds were comfortable and the large, comfortable bath a bonus. We would recommend this gem of a place to anyone and would love to go back again for a longer period of time. The path to the sea is safe and within walking distance. Lavender bush is WOW!

Irene was ongelukkig omdat sy eenheid 1 bespreek het en nie die ou Huis soos wat sy skynbaar gedink het en net 'n rede gesoek om uit haar bespreking te kom. Ons adverteer as diere vriendelik en ons het gaste wat vir 2 maande geboek het met 3 honde. My twee honde was nerens te sien nie. Die drie honde is baie goed gemanierd en Irene het onmiddellik gekla oor die honde en hulle is terug na hulle eienaar en nie weer uitgekom nie. Ek het haar seun die volgende oggend gevra of alles reg is en of hulle lekker geslaap het en hy het bevestig met 'n Ja oom. Irene moet net vir my se hoekom sy my niks gese het van dit waarvoor sy nou sê wat vuil was. Ek het as gasheer vir haar gese dat sy moet net sê as daar iets is wat nie reg was nie. Sy het verkies om stil stil weg te ry.

Jan and Lettie are wonderful people.
It's just a pity that other guests invade your privacy by setting up the gazebo almost on your front porch and then they still have the audacity to throw their barbecue remains into the hostess's garden. But I suppose it takes all kinds of people to make the world go round.

Laventelbos 's response
Amanda, ek is baie jammer dat daardie mense die gazebo amper op julle stoep opgeslaan het. Hulle weet duidelik nie hoe om ander mense se spasie te respekteer nie. Dis nogals mense wat bekend is aan my vrou en sy het ook gekla oor hulle. Julle kan gerus 'n naweek verniet by ons kom afsaal as dit meer rustig is, ons is ongelukkig die afgelope tyd oorval met besprekings en dit gebeur nie baie dat al ons akkommodasie so vol bespreek is nie.

Lovely peaceful seaside holiday with a real farm feel
We settled into the main house and it was indeed a peaceful few days. We had a great time and barbecued in the fire pit if the weather permitted and on the other days the big indoor barbecue was a winner. The house is well equipped with all necessities and even the fishing was successful. The owner is also really friendly and if we needed something, he attended to it immediately.

We had a nice stay at Laventelbos, but were disappointed with a few things.
Nice house and area. It was nice to see all the wildlife roaming around the house. The water on site is not safe to drink. Had other water problems too (water ran out often and we had to contact the owner to help). The crockery/cutlery in the kitchen is not enough for all the guests. There are a lot of cobwebs and dust, the house should be cleaned more thoroughly before guests visit.

Ons het vir die gaste gese dat die water uit 'n oop fontein kom en dat hulle water kan gebruik om te drink uit 'n reënwater tenk, andersins kon hulle drinkwater koop. Landi het nie self by ons tuisgegaan nie, maar wel haar ouers en boeties. Wat die water aanbetref, dit het nooit opgeraak nie maar Eskom het beurt krag toegepas en as die krag af is, kan die pomp by die fontein uiteraard nie pomp nie. Ek het my bes gedoen om te sorg dat die pomp weer pomp as die krag aankom. Wat breekgoed aanbetref wil ek net se dat die huis 16 borde het, 8 klein bordjies, 11 messe en 12 vurke en die huis is ten volle toegerus met alles wat nodig is om kos te maak en te eet. Landi se ouers en twee boeties kon nie meer benodig het as wat beskikbaar was in die huis nie. Die huis was silwerskoon gemaak die dag voor die gaste ingekom het en ons maak nie huis skoon gedurende die gaste se verblyf nie. Die gaste het die vensters oopgemaak aan die grondpad se kant en die pad was baie stowwerig omdat ons vir maande geen reën gehad het nie. Spinnekoppe kom in by oop deure en vensters en spin oornag webbe.
