Laughing Waters is a wonderful getaway for families and individuals wishing to enjoy the gentle peace of a vibrant farm set within the beautiful Cape Overberg and within easy distance of the coast.
We loved our stay at the farm cottage, which is just what you want and relaxing and rustic farm stay to be. The outside kitchen was one of our favourite things and our animals loved the back garden. Just be aware that the parking area and access to the road is shared with another cottage so you have to make sure the gate is always kept closed. Make sure you visit the gorgeous damn at the top of the farm with a picnic! Kirsten is super friendly and helpful with everything you need. We will be back!
It was a perfect place for a getaway. The house was clean and the hosts were very helpful and always there to help.
Sometimes nature has other plans for your travels. We were at Laughing Waters during the Heritage Day floods, and despite being cut off from the world for a couple of extra days, we had everything we needed to stay comfortable and wait out the storm. The little cottage is cosy, well-equipped, quaint and comfortable. Kirsten and Gerd were super, making sure we had everything we needed during a very stressful time for them too. We spent many hours by the fireplace, enjoyed some lovely walks with their dogs, and Justin the sheep, and saw some wonderful bird-life from the garden.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Kirsten's directions were perfect, and she was very responsive and helpful. The cottage was cosy, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had all we needed - incl. coffee, tea, rusks, sugar, salt and pepper! And the vases of proteas and wild flowers were so pretty! Lots of dry wood, firelighters and matches - and candles during loadshedding (tip - bring torches!). The spring water was delicious and refreshing. Two things to bear in mind when booking: The cottage has two sets of steps inside, leading from the kitchen/lounge down to the two bedrooms. And another unit - Laughing on the Farm - is right next door. We did not know that from the description or the photos, and were glad that no one had booked it. But it's ideal for booking both units with friends. We enjoyed our walk up to the zipline dam. And I *loved* my session with Kirsten's beautiful horses - magical and deeply healing. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, and we felt right at home.
Laughing Waters Farm is in the middle of no-where (evidenced by LOTS of peace & star-filled nights) AND in the middle of everything! The area's very special attractions include some of the best whale watching from absolutely beautiful beaches, wonderful species-rich fynbos flora and birdlife, an indigenous forest & its tree essences, Panthera Africa, shark-diving... exceptional local wines, food and happenings.
Laughing Waters is just 1.5 hours drive from CT International Airport.
You will need a car to explore the area. The Laughing Waters VW blue-bus & driver may be available to transport & guide you.
自我介绍
I live with my partner Gerd & our 2 young daughters on a beautiful fynbos farm in the Overberg of the Western Cape, South Africa. I am an Ecologist with a passion for nature and together with my family and our wonderful team, we are creating a vibrant farm which we love sharing with our guests. We believe in good food and all that is grown on the farm is happy & organic. We grow indigenous protea flowers and organic vegetables. We have characterful and comfortable guest accommodation and welcome individuals, couples, families and small groups to stay and enjoy the nature, peace and star-lit evenings of Laughing Waters. The Laughing Waters venue can be hired for workshops or special occasions; catering is available. The venue can accommodate 16 persons and guests are welcome to incorporate the space and beauty of this fynbos farm into their occasion. Together with our gentle herd of horses, I offer horse-facilitated insight coaching to effectively guide groups, couples and individuals to experience and integrate their wished-for objectives. These sessions as well as horse riding, should be arranged in advance.
