New adventure. Very pleasant and relaxing - the weather just had to play along.

Nuwe avontuur. Baie aangenaam en ontspannend - die weer moes net saam speel.

Was very nice. Most beautiful view. Staff were very friendly, helpful and professional. We were 4 adults with 2 boats. Both boats are well equipped. The shower water was strong and hot and we could have a nice shower. Feels like a "house on the water". Everything you need was at hand. Thank you Knysna Houseboats.

Was baie lekker. Mooiste uitsig. Personeel was baie vriendelik, behulpsaam en professioneel. Ons was 4 volwassenes met 2 bote. Beide bote is goed toegerus. Die stortwater was sterk en warm en ons kon lekker stort. Gevoel soos 'n "huis op die water". Alles wat jy benodig, was byderhand. Dankie Knysna Houseboats.

A must do! Would definitely recommend going for at least 2 nights and make sure to take a braai with your boat!

Awesome experience but not worth the amount they charge. An amazing experience but definitely not worth the amount you pay. The houseboat felt old and needed a lift. The curtains had mold on them, and the fridge broke, so the food got warm and spoiled. Also, fuel is not included in the fee, so that's an extra cost. In the end, the amount you pay is not worth it. Also, because you only get the houseboat quite late in the day, there's not much time to do a lot except find a spot for the evening, but you have to pay for a full day. If you got the boat earlier, it would be better. Also, it's very weather dependent. If you are lucky enough to have great weather, I'm sure it's amazing, but if you get wind, it's not very fun. You have to anchor and wait it out in rough conditions.

Wonderful experience. Tip: Start your holiday with the house boats. It makes you completely cut off and relax. Owner is very friendly and involved (if needed).

Wonderlike ervaring. Tip: Begin jou vakansie met die house boats. Dit laat jou totaal en al afsny en ontspan. Eienaar is baie vriendelik en betrokke (indien nodig).

Great adventure! Two lovely, interesting days! Drove away with many new skills and insights. A few challenges on the water for "newbies", but also great fun and everything doable. The team is very professional and showed us the ropes beforehand. They also responded immediately and came to help when we had a problem with the gas tank on Day 2. The toilet and shower area is neat and slightly uncomfortable. Two people are perfect for such a boat but for me three or more people would be too cramped. Sunrise and sunset unforgettable and the night's sleep on top of the boat, under the stars with bird sounds as "background music", something I will remember for a long time.

Heerlike avontuur! Twee heerlike, interessante dae! Het met baie nuwe vaardighede en insigte weggery. 'n Paar uitdagings op die water vir "groentjies", maar ook groot pret en alles doenbaar. Die span is baie professioneel en het ons vooraf goed touwys gemaak. Hulle het ook dadelik gereageer en kom help toe ons op Dag 2 'n probleem met die petroltenk gehad het. Die toilet- en stortgedeelte is knap en effens ongemaklik. Twee mense is perfek vir so 'n boot maar vir my sal drie of meer mense te beknop raak. Sonsopkoms en -ondergang onvergeetlik en die nag se slaap bo-op die boot, onder die sterre met voëlgeluide as "agtergrondmusiek", iets wat ek lank sal onthou.
