  At the Rocks Guest House, Langebaan, West Coast, South Africa

  • Cape Town

  • Chilling out after 22 years of Leeuwenvoet in Cape Town. Only until the new building starts ...

    • Aug 2006 - Present
    • Cape Town

    Five bedroom guest house with stunning views of the Langebaan lagoon, Saldanha Bay and the sea beyond. You need a couple of days here to relax before getting back to the grindstone and after a grueling holiday! Kitesurfing and other water sports a bit hit in Langebaan, but for the less active there are still many other forms of activity, such as bird watching. At best, laze around the pool and take in the wonders of nature!

    After nearly 22 years, we sold Leeuwenvoet House in December 2015 to a developer who plans to increase the room number to around 50. The name "Leeuwenvoet House" will probably disappear - don't know what the new name of the Boutique Hotel will be. The nature of the hotel will obviously also change. We wish the new owners the best of the tourism boom!I have to mention that we still own and run the five bedroomed, four star, guest house, At the Rocks, in Langebaan. It is quite different in architecture and location from Leeuwenvoet, but definitely has the same warm welcome to our guests. We look forward to seeing you there.Future plans consist of demolishing and rebuilding our house in Camps Bay, with four self-catering rooms upstairs. Optimistically expected date of completion will probably be season (October - November) 2017. Watch this space.Magnificent views of the sea from the front and the unique Twelve Apostles mountain range from the back. Can't get better. We are also within walking distance from the "strip" as we affectionately refer to Camps Bay's famous restaurants and beach. Please be warned that the walk back is rather steep, but that is why we have Uber in Cape Town ... (Old) Leeuwenvoet House is a four star guest house near the city centre of Cape Town. We are situated next to Kloof Street, the trendy restaurant area of Cape Town. Sixteen air-conditioned bedrooms, all en-suite, four with bath as well. Come and enjoy your first cup of coffee on our pool deck and marvel at the splendour of Table Mountain!

    Space was a software house working on AS400 and other platforms. Created bespoke software, specifically for, among others, the sales and marketing call centers of large financial institutions. My role within Sales Support was to liaise with call center managers to gather information in order to customise and demonstrate software applications for them. I worked closely with the sales managers until the end of the sales cycle. Then followed the installation of the software and training the end users on the application.
