63 guests' feedbackWas very nice. Uncle is an iron.
Outstanding. Will definitely go again.
Wonderful stay! Jan is most welcoming and accommodating - absolutely loved his doggy Spyker, who quickly made friends with us all! Can't wait to go again.
Awesome. Nice and quiet place. The host was great and friendly. On the beach. Great views and scenery.
Really enjoyed our time, lovely big indoor fireplace for braais and chatting. Facilities are limited and bathrooms small but very workable!
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.
Was very nice - lovely weather, peaceful.
The silence, the surroundings were beautiful. The springboks and divers were a bonus. Walking distance to the beach.
It was nice and there is everything you need.
Very neat. Hospitable and value for money. Would recommend to anyone who wants to be quiet away from noise and rush life.
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!
See stars.
Jan was super welcoming when we arrived and the place was like a fairy garden with live springbok in the yard and some super cute blue duikers. I will definitely be going back to stay here again.
Because of the rain, the dirt road was a bit muddy, but that didn't discourage us.
See stars.
Jan and Lettie are very pleasant people and make us feel very much at home. Thank you Jan and Lettie. Really enjoyed the goats.
We will definitely visit Laventelbos again!
Jan, the owner, was absolutely amazing and really made us feel so welcome!
Had a great time!
The owners, Jan and Lettie are salt of the earth people who treat you like family. It was a privilege to be able to spend the few days there.
Nothing special. Was a place to stay.
Linen and crockery were dirty; large dogs roaming loose, danger to children; poor maintenance of accommodation.
Nice place by the sea and on the farm. The wildlife is a huge bonus.
So nice and relaxing with a great view and nice close to the sea with all the animals around you. Location is perfect. Owners are very friendly and helpful. My wife and I would definitely go again.
Very relaxed and comfortable stay, great sea view, easy and safe to walk down to water's edge. Owners are very kind and patient and animals were super cute! Would recommend.
The only negative thing I could say is that the time passed too quickly. Further we loved every minute of it.
We enjoyed it very much, it's very peaceful and the child loved the animals, I loved the location for fishing again.
Lavender grove is ideal place to relax. The sea is within walking distance and the antelopes are an extra bonus. Jan and Lettie are very nice and helpful people. So are Spiker and Jessica. Will definitely go again.
Beautiful nature scenes with Springbok and Njalas against a sea background. Friendly and helpful people. No noise or any loud music. Had a great time and will definitely go again.
The location is excellent with the sea within walking distance. The hosts very helpful and friendly.
It's a very safe place to stay. Children can play around and enjoy all the goats and animals on the farm. Until our Yorkie was very comfortable.
It was very nice to stay there. Nice welcome by the owner, very friendly. We took our puppy with us and it really enjoyed playing with the owner's dogs as well as with the goats. Would definitely recommend especially if you want to get away from the city.
Friendly, well maintained.
Their house is nice and clean and very well equipped. There is absolutely nothing missing. The game goats, ostrich and blue grebe present at the place are so beautiful to see. Thank you guys. The place is highly recommended.
Definitely a favourite place to visit in our getaway book. Quite a treat!
We were greeted on arrival by Jan and Lettie and immediately felt at home. Laventelbos is peaceful with a breathtaking view, really a must-go-again place.
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.
See stars.
Quiet, peaceful and close to the beach.
Some quiet time and relaxation.
It was great and would stay there again.
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.
We had a great time, with two Staffordshire Terriers and two Yorkshire Terriers who became great friends with Spiker and Jessica (owners dogs). We will definitely go again, very safe and peaceful. Thank you Jan, Leti and Dawid, hope to see you again soon.
Lovely stay. I would include the cleaning in the price and not add it on as an extra. Jan and Lettie make you feel very welcome and check everyday if you need anything. Will definitely go back.
We stayed in the apartment. Would recommend they put a bigger fridge/freezer in there. Furthermore, the stay was very nice and we can definitely recommend it, walking distance from the sea and the wildlife that roams there is a bonus.
Thank you very much Jan and Lettie for your guest freedom. Had a great time and rested.
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.
It was fantastic and they are very friendly and give you privacy.
Perfect getaway. It is walking distance from the sea and the wildlife grazing around the house just makes the whole experience perfect. The customer service is excellent. They definitely go the extra mile for you. Will definitely be back again.
We are very happy with Laventelbos! It is beautiful and peaceful close to the sea with nice fishing spots. Very friendly service and we were welcomed so nicely. We will definitely stay there again!
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.
Quiet and peaceful atmosphere with wildlife roaming around the house.
Very nice place for a weekend getaway.
Very great place. Dog friendly and accommodating. Great host. Smashing
It was so fun! Jan and Lettie were so nice! We saw the spring goat drinking milk. Then he has a large number of nyalas and springbok and also blue divers! Located opposite the sea!
We had a great time in the Laventelbos apartment. The host and wife were extremely friendly and the location was breathtakingly beautiful.
Lovely relaxation. Host and hostess are fantastic.
The facilities are basic but adequate. Owner is friendly and helpful. Environment is quiet. Ideal place to rest.
It was a lovely break for us as a family, nice and quiet and we really enjoyed the game and Hans spring goats. Very friendly and hospitable owners, we will definitely stay at Laventelbos again.
Excellent holiday accommodation. Other hosts and hostesses may learn here. You guys were great.
It was really a nature experience and I would like to visit it in the summer with my daughter and other family. The animals and scenery really did me good. I would really recommend it to friends and family for a getaway. The people were kind to us.
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.
