- Driving through the picturesque area to reach the settlement of Redelinghuys was a fantastic experience. A stop at the Rooi Stoor Farm Stall added an interesting twist to our journey. We were thrilled to arrive in Redelinghuys, a charming little village situated on the Verlorenvlei River. The charm of the town was evident, and we weren't the only ones captivated by it since we saw many new homes being built, suggesting that others have also fallen in love with this place. The gardens and houses were pretty, contributing to the appeal of the village. However, it was disheartening to discover that the once-magnificent Dutch Reformed Church had burnt to the ground in 2019. Hopefully, it will be rebuilt one day. Overall, our visit to this gorgeous village was truly wonderful. #DustBugs #dustbugstravel #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #travelongravel #westerncape #redelinghuys

😅Geniet elke program. Dankie
DustBugs.
Thank you for visiting our town, love your comment about our cats
Thedrone footage was like a welcome to the town. I always enjoy it. Nice road for a change! Interesting to learn about the bird life. Each area has its own speciality. Really a small town but so pretty. I would also not mind to live there. Thank you for this one It was well done. I am waiting for the next trip
I see a lot of people are copying you but in my opinion you guys are the best!!!
Ohhhh in de Rooi Stoor, dat houten teckeltje als kapstok had ik direct gekocht! Mijn favoriete soort hond 😊. Gelukkig hebben jullie de beheersing om het thuis overzichtelijk te houden qua spullen dat dat scheelt vast enorm in impuls aankopen 😅. Afgelopen weekend was ik in een restaurant hier in Den Haag waar ze veel ‘s Rijks wijnen uit Tulbagh verkopen en juist in jullie vorige aflevering kwam die plaats rakelings voorbij. Enfin daar was de Dustbugs ooit al korte tijd en de afslag naar rechts biedt ook heel veel prachtige natuur along the road. Die mooie Verlorenvallei, zo’n naam die meteen allerlei associaties oproept als wat zou daar vroeger allemaal gebeurd zijn als het die naam kreeg…. In Nederland is het eindelijk zomer dus speciaal voor deze episode zit ik even binnen voor de tv 🌞. Geweldig tijdens je drone beelden om die kaarsrechte lange weg over de heuvel te zien, als een lineaal getrokken. En geen hek zo hoog of …. Jij weet toch die NG kerk uit 1866 te ‘vangen’ op beeld 💒👍
Oulike dorpies…mooi en skoon.👍
To be expected.. you are in the Western Cape!!!!
Another hidden gem. So sad to see the remains of that Church. Beautiful flowers and trees. Thanks once again. Be safe on the road till the next one.
Sjoe het nog nooit van die plekk gehoor nie maar ek sal wat wou gee om daar te kon bly. Dankie vir nog n wonderlike toer deur die plek.
Stayed here. Has the biggest moths I've seen since Panama! I hate moths lol
Stayed at the sandveld dorpshuys. Owner was a lovely friendly lady. Btw, while watching your videos I often have Google maps open and follow along.
Gorgeous little town this. And so much hope now for this town with remote workers settling in for a more simple life as Sonia said. Love it. Pity about the church.🎉loving my back seat drives with you guys 🎉
My parents’ house is opposite the church and my cousin’s just behind them. My grandmother originally came from Redelinghuys. Love the commentary you guys give and you’re super sweet.
Beautiful church, saw it in its glory
Just struck me, that one, odd guy wandering 10 km's outside of these towns you visit...I suspect it's the same guy. I've had the suspicion for a long time because whenever I approach a town, I start looking aound for him. You can find the Lonely Wanderer all over the country. Sometimes, he's on a bicycle. I've even found him on a donkiekar around the Karoo - with a whole family, too.
I love your videos. I can come home to South Africa from my home in Australia.
Love every episode can't wait for the next one😊
Sooo beauuuuutiful.. dankie vir die saamry Curtis en Sonja.. so sien ons ook hierdie mooi land van ons ❤🙌
A very nice clean kept little town. My mother and father used to talk a lot about Redelinghuys and other small places around there, I wish I had listened to what they had to say.
Hi Curtis Sonia and Dusty, what n oulike dorpie, fantastic ❤, love it 💕💕, love the quiet serenity, safe travels 🥾🥾
Hi you two! What a nice trip under blue skies to this neat homely town. It must be a favourite holiday retreat for people wanting to escape from Cape Town city. Your drone view introducing the town was captivating. I looked up a photo of the church before it burnt down - it was a stunning building! Thank you for taking me along. Waiting eagerly for the next trip.
Keep safe!
Such a neat, very clean and beautiful town.
Pure serenity, thanks.
Looks like a prosperous town.
Wow those Blue Gum Trees are spectacular !! I love them ❤ Chat again later 😂
Our municipality
Thank you guys.
What a lovely town !!❤
Love the Rooistoor, especially the old potbelly cash register! Beautiful camping ground. So sad about the church that burnt down. Such a pretty place, don't blame people for wanting to live here
Hi guys same as you Curtis I could live here if I couldn't have one of the old property's I'd build my own tiny house love the old wagons at Rooi Stoor .the drone was amazing I can't ever get over the vastness and how isolated it seems. Everything is clean and tidy and the murals on the houses fantastic I can see why there are a lot of new builds idea for remote working. The old hostel had a tranquil vibe with all the old stuff so interesting and to top it off a top notch . caravan park. Sad to see the ruined church maybe they could repurpose the original one ? The Anglo saxon is a village with no church is a hamlet so for now it's a hamlet awesome video thanks for taking me along cheerio till the next one
The community is desperate to rebuild their church, so I'm sure that would be their first priority, provided that Heritage relents and allows them to at least have a church building, albeit not the original one, which would be impossible to replace. It was indeed sad to see, but the remaining structure still proudly towers over the town. 💒 Thank you for visiting Redelinghuys with us. We can shop for plots for our tiny homes together! 😁🏠
What a charming little village which I had no clue even existed until your visit. Indeed a perfectly serene hamlet to return to a simple lifestyle. Like yourself Curtis, I could definitely live in Redelinghuys. The Sandveld caravan park with it's beautiful trees exude peace and tranquility. Added the town to my bucket list of places still to visit. Thank you for the stop.
I must admit that I was looking forward to the day that you visited this village as I know someone who has settled there temporarily for now...he has mentioned the significant growth from similar likeminded people taking advantage of being able to work remotely and, for now, buy a place at an affordable rate. The church, although damaged, still seems to command its place in the town, and the lawns are well kept. Plants, lawns seem to thrive well in the sandy soil. There has been recent investment in potato 🥔 facilities outside the town which may also be contributing towards the town's economy. The caravan park with its great amenities and facilities looks very welcoming. Great video as always 👍
My friend's hometown. Wow
Baie dankie vriende
Eehaww he clucked
Been inside that church when it was in the market.
Hi from Northern Ireland.
LIKE BASS IT HOUNDS, LOW TO THE GROUND
🤷🏻♂️
Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦
You can hear the water of the verlorenvlei from there
It's called the Sandveld region, hence the sandy soil as mentioned in your discussion at the start of the video. Please also visit the town called Aurora not too far from Redelinghuys as well, it's worth it❤
We did visit Aurora later that same day and finally figured out why it was called the Sandveld. 🚙😁 Our Aurora episode was published earlier this afternoon. I hope you enjoy.
That nice road was gravel 5 to 10 yrs ago
Called a voete braai
I think they farm a lot of potatoes there
SAP rural is unit visiting farms in their district.
Also has a police training college
Might have a photo
I wonder why the mobile phone company doesn't have to pay to have church rebuilt? I read the fire started with an electrical short in the mobile tower attached to the church.
Perhaps those discussions have taken place without a successful outcome, but I'm not sure of that at all. It would make sense that the insurer of the relevant service provider covers the rebuilding of the church, provided it can be proved that they or their equipment was at fault. Bottom line for me is that Heritage needs to relax their strict guidelines and relent a little so that this community can rebuild their church. 💒
THE WETLANDS WILL PROPERLY encourage Birds Frogs and REptiles
DID U NOTICE THE CROSS IN THE SKY?
No, I can't say we did. 🤷🏻♂️
I being living for 35 years in this town it has changed a lot .Wens julle Kan dit in Afrikaans aanbied.
I'm from an English-speaking family and our videos will always be in English so that my family and our friends abroad can also follow along. Thank you for watching. 🚙😊
