Ons het heerlik gekuier. Eenvoudige plaashuisie lekker naby aan die see.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier by Laventelbos. Die ligging is baie lekker, jy sien en ruik die see van die huis af. Baie plek vir kinders om veilig te kan speel en fietsry. Die huisie is eenvoudig, maar baie lekker ingerig met alles wat mens nodig het. Ons sal weer daar slaap as ons weer die geleentheid kry.

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.

Rus en vrede!

Die naweek-wegbreek met ons seun se verjaardag was voedsel vir die siel op Laventelbos se pragtige see-plaas en ruim huis met alles en meer as wat nodig was. Die massiewe binne-braai wat ook as kaggel kan dien het 'n warm, huislike atmosfeer geskep en die bokke en liefdevolle, goedgemanierde honde op die perseel het ons naweek gemaak! Die eienaars is gasvry en het die ekstra myl gegaan om ons naweek fantasties te maak. Die stoep met 'n swaai-bank en see-uitsig was spesiaal. Die beddens was gemaklik en die groot, gerieflike bad 'n bonus. Ons sal hierdie juweel van 'n plek vir enigiemand aanbeveel en sal graag weer wil teruggaan vir 'n langer tydperk. Die paadjie see toe is veilig en loop-afstand. Laventelbos is WOW!

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!

Met 'n see uitsig kan 'n mens nie vir beter vra nie.

As gevolg van die reën was die grondpad bietjie modderig, maar dit het nie ons moed gebreek nie.

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 en Lettie is wonderlike mense.

Net 'n jammerte dat ander gaste jou privaatheid indring deur gazebo tot amper op jou voorstoep opslaan en dan het hulle nog die vermetelheid om hul braai-oorblyfsels in die gasvrou se tuin in te gooi. But I suppose it takes all kinds of people to make the world go round.

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.

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.

Vrede en rus, waarde vir geld.

Gasheer is baie behulpsaam en vriendelik en het 'n aansteeklike passie vir sy boerdery met wildsbokkies, ons het dit so geniet om die bokkies te voer en te streel. Uitstekende waarde vir geld net 'n hanetreetjie van die see af. Oopplaneenheid was netjies en kombuisie goed toegerus.

Peace and quiet, value for money.

Host is very helpful and friendly and has an infectious passion for his farming with game goats, we enjoyed feeding and petting the goats so much. Excellent value for money just a stone's throw from the sea. Open plan unit was tidy and kitchenette well equipped.

Rustig.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier, met twee Staffordshire Terriers en twee Yorkshire Terriers wat groot vriende geraak het met Spyker en Jessica (eienaars se honde). Ons sal definitief weer gaan, baie veilig en rustig. Dankie Jan, Leti en Dawid, hoop om julle binnekort weer te sien.

Baie lekker privaat en pragtige natuurskoon.

Ons het in die woonstel gebly. Sal aanbeveel dat hulle 'n groter yskas/vrieskas daar plaas. Verder was die verblyf baie lekker en kan ons dit beslis aanbeveel, stapafstand van die see en die wild wat daar rondloop is 'n bonus.

Heerlike rustige seevakansie met 'n regte plaas-gevoel

Ons het in die hoofhuis tuisgegaan en dit was voorwaar 'n rustige paar dae. Ons het heerlik gekuier en gebraai in die vuur-put as die weer dit toegelaat het en op die ander dae was die groot binne-braai 'n wenner. Die huis is goed toegerus met alle benodigdhede en selfs die visvang was suksesvol gewees. Die eienaar is ook regtig vriendelik en as ons iets benodig het, het hy dadelik aandag daaraan gegee.

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.

Perfekte wegbreekplek. Dit is stapafstand van die see af en die wild wat om die huis wei maak net die hele ervaring perfek. Die kliëntediens is uitstekend. Hulle sal beslis die ekstra myl vir julle gaan. Sal beslis weer terug wees.

Lovely farm with game wandering around and a sea in front.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in a clean and fully equipped cottage. The hosts were very helpful and friendly. And so was the beautiful dog. The walk past the Springbok, Nyala and Ostrich, then along the beach checking the rock pools was super. We had to ask for directions as Rooipitjie Street is not on any GPS or map so a tip that Laventelbos is 2.5 km of gravel road from the tarred section of Kusweg, would be useful. Exceptional value for money.

Dit was regtig 'n natuur-belewenis en ek sal dit graag in die somer saam met my dogter en ander familie wil besoek. Die diere en natuurskoon het my regtig goed gedoen. Ek sal dit regtig aanbeveel vir vriende en familie vir 'n wegbreek. Die mense was ons goedgesind.

Ons het lekker gebly by Laventelbos, was wel teleurgesteld met 'n paar goedjies.

Mooi huis en area. Was lekker om al die wild te sien rondloop rondom die huis. Die water op die perseel is nie veilig om te drink nie. Ander water probleme ook gehad (water het gereeld opgeraak en ons moes die eienaar kontak om te help). Die breekware/eetgerei in die kombuis is nie genoeg vir al die gaste nie. Daar is baie spinnerakke en stof, die huis moet meer deeglik skoongemaak word voor gaste besoek.

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.

Laventelbos 's response

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.
