Vennebos Cottages provides a selection of self catering cottages in a forest setting near Rheenendal, just 15kms from Knysna in the Western Cape's Garden Route. It is the ideal location for those wishing to wind down and get some peace and quiet. Take time out to walk around and explore our forest or relax next to the pool between the trees.

Rheenendal is a farming community outside of Knysna conveniently located to access beaches (e.g. Buffelsbaai), mountains, villages, restaurants, shops and markets (a.o. Wild Oats market every Saturday morning in Sedgefield). On our guest farm you can swim, gym, walk, relax and have a good braai.

Vennebos has 3 cottages. (Group bookings for up to 7 people are possible).

-----------------------------

Cottage 1

Cottage 1 is small but well equipped. The cute cottage is perfect for a couple, single person or a parent travelling with one small child. Suitable for the young at heart and not suitable for tall people. Taller people are welcome to stay in our cottages 2 or 3.

The kitchenette offers breakfast making necessities and you can cook a simple meal in the electric frying pan.

The lapa is perfect for an outside dinner (2 burner stove, fridge etc). You can prepare your food in the lapa, have a braai there and sit outside on warm or cold nights.

-----------------------------

Cottage 2

Cottage 2 is charming and practical at the same time. The bedroom can be set up such that it is suitable for a couple or 2/3 single occupants.

The location between the trees and the pool / lapa (with braai and pizza making facilities) is perfect. It is situated in the middle of our 8ha property. Here you can walk, swim, gym and relax.

Rheenendal is a farming community with beautiful mountain views and vast open spaces.

The upstairs bedroom has two single beds that either can be positioned as a king bed or as twins / two separate beds. Moreover, we can place a third bed (single) and an additional person could sleep there as well.

Please note that we live solely of filtered rain water. You'll see the rain water tanks next to your cottage. We ask you kindly to use water wisely.

-----------------------------

Cottage 3

Cottage 3 is the ideal winter getaway as it has underfloor heating, a luxury electric blanket for the bed and a separate heater to keep you warm. The queen-sized bed is comfortable and has quality bedding on it.

Cottage 3 has a bathroom with a shower, a small kitchenette (no stove) with a microwave and an electric frying pan. The cottage has basic breakfast making facilities. In the close-by lapa you can use the braai, cooking facilities and/or use the gym and pool.

-----------------------------

Welkom

Vennebos heeft 3 cottages (voor maximaal 7 mensen). De cottages hebben ieder hun eigen buiten zitplaats maar er is ook een gemeenschappelijke ruimte bij het zwembad waar je kunt braaien, koken, gymen en gezellig keuvelen.

Cottage 1: een tiny house met een 2 persoons-slaapruimte boven. Beneden is een kitchenette, zitruimte en de badkamer met douche/wc. Niet geschikt voor lange mensen.

Cottage 2: de knusse benedenruimte heeft een keuken, een zitgedeelte met haard en een badkamer met douche/wc. De slaapruimte is boven. Hier kunnen we een 2 persoons bed opzetten of 2 single beds en er kan eventueel een matrasbed bij voor een 3e persoon.

Cottage 3: een studio-ruimte vlakbij het zwembad. Het chalet heeft een badkamer met douche/wc, een kleine kitchenette en een zeer comfortabel 2 persoons bed.

Onze cottages zijn self-catering, maar als je zin hebt om het makkelijk te doen dan is er een restaurant vlakbij (Portland manor, 3km).

Vennebos is prachtig landelijk gelegen in wijdse open vlaktes met gebergten in de achtergrond. Toch is het maar ca. 15km naar Knysna en haar schitterende lagune. Knysna is klein maar heeft vele winkels, restaurants en biedt talrijke activiteiten aan. Aan de Tuinroute kun je prachtige trips door de verbazingwekkend groene natuur maken vooral als je van de gebaande wegen af gaat. Dit kan met de auto maar ook te voet in Goudveld national park. Verder kunnen we de stranden van Buffelsbaai en Sedgefield aanbevelen. De Wild Oats markt in Sedgefield is een must op zaterdagochtend.

-----------------------------

Willkommen 

Vennebos verfügt über 3 Ferienhäuser (für bis zu 7 Personen). Die Cottages verfügen jeweils über einen eigenen Sitzbereich im Freien, aber es gibt auch einen Gemeinschaftsbereich am Pool.  

Vennebos liegt wunderschön in weiten Ebenen mit Bergen im Hintergrund. Dennoch sind es nur etwa 15 km bis nach Knysna und seiner wunderschönen Lagune. Knysna ist klein, hat aber viele Geschäfte, Restaurants und bietet zahlreiche Aktivitäten. Auf der Garden Route können Sie schöne Ausflüge durch die erstaunlich grüne Natur unternehmen, vor allem, wenn Sie abseits der ausgetretenen Pfade unterwegs sind. Dies kann mit dem Auto, aber auch zu Fuß im Goudveld-Nationalpark erfolgen. Des Weiteren können wir die Strände von Buffalo Bay und Sedgefield empfehlen. Der Wild Oats Markt in Sedgefield ist am Samstagmorgen ein Muss. 

Cottage 1: ein winziges Haus mit einem Schlafbereich für 2 Personen oben. Unten befindet sich eine Küchenecke, eine Sitzecke und das Badezimmer mit Dusche/WC. Nicht für große Menschen geeignet.  

Cottage 2: Das gemütliche Zimmer unten verfügt über eine Küche, eine Sitzecke mit Kamin und ein Badezimmer mit Dusche/WC. Der Schlafbereich befindet sich oben. Hier können wir ein Doppelbett oder 2 Einzelbetten aufstellen und es kann möglicherweise ein Matratzenbett für eine 3. Person geben. 

Cottage 3: ein Studiobereich in der Nähe des Pools. Das Chalet verfügt über ein Badezimmer mit Dusche/WC, eine kleine Küchenecke und ein sehr komfortables Doppelbett. 

Unsere Ferienhäuser sind Selbstversorger, aber es gibt es ein Restaurant in der Nähe (Portland Manor, 3 km).

Why the $elect Stays initiative?

  1. Encourage and boost local tourism through making holidays more affordable.
    This is achieved by offering locals a 15% saving. The same 15% that would have left our shores had it been paid as commission to an International Booking site.
  2. Reduce the dependancy on large International Booking sites.
    This is achieved by building up a loyal following of verified users who we will market to on an exclusive and regular basis to maximise the opportunity.
  3. Ensure more money stays within local tourism to benefit us all.
    It is no secret that the large International Booking sites pay no or very little tax to South Africa or Namibia. By taking back a little more control we boost our own economy, and in particular, our local tourism. This is good for us all.
    Read this article on how the Australian holiday accommodation sector is suffering in the same way.
  4. Exclusive.
    Only listings on Stays can participate, which means less competition for bookings.
How it works for accommodation-seekers:

Anyone can register as a $elect Stays member.
There are no costs involved to register as a member.
On registration, we issue them with a member number.
They use their member number when they send an enquiry.
The number is verified automatically BEFORE the enquiry is sent.
The property is notified on the enquiry that they are a verified member.
Property ensures that the quote includes a 15% saving.

Terms & Conditions

  1. The property (you) must offer the 15% saving to all verified members
  2. Verification is done automatically at the time of an enquiry. It is at the property’s discretion whether to offer the saving for a telephonic enquiry. (As you have no means to verify the membership number, it is advisable to get them to do a formal enquiry so they can be verified).
  3. If the property is currently running a "Special" greater than 15% then the "Special" price will apply. (No further savings needs to be offered). EXCEPT in the case where the "Special" is lower than 15%. In that case the 15% will apply.
    Example: A property offering a 10% discount, must offer an additional 5% discount to valid members - so they get a total 15% saving.
  4. The property must offer valid members the saving all year round. (Properties that pick and chose in which seasons to participate run the risk of being removed from the programme completely. Allowing selective participation defeats the integrity of this initiative).
  5. The property must not inflate the price before the 15% is applied. Prices displayed should be the rack rate. (The official or advertised price of a room).
  6. The property must honour any bookings made while the property was participating as a $elect Stays property.
  7. The property must honour the agreement and the spirit in which the initiative is designed to benefit local tourism.
