Jongensfontein Holiday Home almost on the Rocks!!

in dtube •  7 years ago 


My wife and I went on a short vacation in the beginning of October. We stayed in a place called Jongensgat, which is situated between Jongensfontein and Stillbaai. It is in a small nature reserve, with only two log holiday homes in the reserve. We stayed in the smaller one of the two, and for long periods we were the only people there!! These log cabins are situated right on the sea. This video, I took from inside the bed - you will see the view is superb. The cabin is quite basic and not very big, but it was fantastic, You can see and hear the waves breaking on the rocks - it is like a lullaby when sleeping. If you look closely, you will see a hyrax run in the video. The one day we even saw some whales in the distance. It was just fantastic. If you are following my posts, you will know that I have already posted a number of photos, I took on this holiday - it was just great!!

funny .. if I'd translate the names of the places your sentence would be like ...

We stayed in a place called boy's holes, which is situated between Boy's fountain and Still Bay :D

You are correct, that is exactly how it translate. The Jongensgat, actually have a hole through the rock wall, I think the name may come from it, I did take a photo, but it is not to clear.

In Afrikaans, gat can even mean somebodies Backside or bum, which makes it even worse!!

I sometimes wonder how places got their names!!

It was fantastic.

Awesome. I love traveling a lot too, especially when am on holiday. The view is really lovely

Yes, it is nice to travel, so much to do and see.

Good post @rynow. I follow your posts, especially your photos, and they are awesome.God be praised you are having a lovely time.

Yes, I love to travel, when I get a chance, there are so much to see and do.

Nice. Please what country is Jongensfontein and Stillbaai located, I searched the post, but I did not really see the name of the country. Thanks

It is in South Africa.

Awesome couple both of you @rynow. Your wife very lovely. ha ha...
Have safe vacation and enjoy there.

It was very nice and we did enjoy ourselves a lot.

You guys are really having a nice time. I love nature so much, and I try to set out time to enjoy all it's free blessings. Loved the vacation. All the best

Yes, nature is the best, thanks for the lovely reply.

Lovely. This is my first time of seeing your pretty wife in a post. From the pics and video, you guys had a lovely time, and we bless God for that.

Thank you very much, we really had a fantastic time

Wow, whales, hope you introduced yourself to them as a fellow whales LOL. Am glad you had a lovely time

I forgot to do that!! LOL

Lovely view. I was thinking that since whales are in that sea, don't you think sharks will be there too, and that will make the cabin unsafe since it is on top the sea

There definitely are sharks in the water, If you look at one of my previous posts, where we ate some fish at the harbor, you will see that the fishermen caught some sharks. The cabin is however safe, there is some land between the cabin and the sea!!

Hmm this is a really lovely way to chill out after that bike expedition in your last post. Glad you had a lovely time.

We had a great time, thanks for the nice comment.

Wow excellent post and Beautiful Couple !
Thanks @rynow
have a nice day

Thank you very much for the nice comment.

@rynow,am glad you enjoyed yourself with your darling wife. Am scared of the sea, so it's not really my ideal vacation spot, but I love and enjoyed your bike riding in your previous post. Am glad you had a lovely time. All the best.

I love the sea, but you are right, one must be careful and respect it, otherwise one can easily find yourself in trouble.

Enjoy your vacation @rynow

Thank you very much, we did enjoy it a lot!!
