Dit was so lekker rustig en ontspannend.

Dit was ons beste huweliksherdinking ooit, dis een om vir altyd te onthou. Ek sal dit definintief weer doen, die keer in die hartjie van die somer.

It was so peaceful and relaxing.

It was our best wedding anniversary ever, it's one to remember forever. I would definitely do it again, this time in the heart of summer.

Heerlike wegbreeknaweek.

Diens is fantasties en dit was 'n heerlike avontuur. Die bote is egter effens verweer en benodig bietjie liefde. Die slaapgeriewe is defnitief te klein vir 2 ouers met 2 groot tienerseuns.

Great getaway weekend.

Service is fantastic and it was a great adventure. However, the boats are slightly weathered and need some love. The sleeping facilities are definitely too small for 2 parents with 2 large teenage sons.

Die huisboot-ervaring was baie lekker, maar die bote kort bietjie aandag opknapwerk t.o.v. meublement asook kombuisgeriewe.

Die boothuis-ervaring op die rivier was baie lekker, en ons het die privaatheid daarvan geniet, asook die feit dat mens op die boot kon braai, en by seker plekke afklim vir restaurante, spa's ens. Die bote is egter bietjie aan die ou kant, en kort beslis opknapwerk. Melamienafwerkings is al beskadig, vloere nie meer gelyk, radio en sommige ligte werk nie, ens. Ongelukkig het ons yskas en oond ook nie gewerk nie, maar die Old Willow Oord het darem vir ons van 'n koelerboks met baie ys voorsien, wat dit bietjie makliker gemaak het. Ons het maar bes gegee met die oond, en die vuurtjie gebruik. Ons het darem afslag gekry omdat ons geriewe nie ten volle bruikbaar was nie. Maar die plekkie was nietemin skoon. Sal steeds aanbeveel vir 'n rustige tyd in die natuur.

The houseboat experience was very nice, but the boats need some attention refurbishing. furniture as well as kitchen facilities.

The boathouse experience on the river was very nice, and we enjoyed the privacy of it, as well as the fact that you could barbecue on the boat, and get off at certain places for restaurants, spas, etc. However, the boats are a bit on the old side, and definitely need refurbishment. Melamine finishes are already damaged, floors are no longer level, radio and some lights do not work, etc. Unfortunately, our fridge and oven didn't work either, but the Old Willow Resort at least provided us with a cooler box with lots of ice, which made it a little easier. We did our best with the oven, and used the fire. At least we got a discount because our facilities were not fully usable. But the place was clean nonetheless. Would still recommend for a peaceful time in nature.

Excellent experience. Will do it again.

Will recommend sleeping over on the Millionaire's Bend side as the Taaibos Spruit sleepover spot is way to noisy with the highway being so close to the river. Maps need to be updated in order to give more clarity on where to cruise and sleep over and where not. In general a very nice experience and will do it again.

Baie lekker vir 'n naweek.

Daar is nooit genoem dat jy uitsig van al die huise en paleise moet oornag nie. Dit los jou maar met 'n paar opsies,dit is as jy eerste daar is. Klein sy inhamme tussen die riete, waaraan jy ook jou boot moet anker. Daar was ook nie genoem dat die meeste plekke wat jy wel aan wal kan gaan, jy by die restaurant moet gaan eet nie. By die Emirates Casino mag jy ook nie stop nie, maar 'n hele ent van hulle af, waarna jy met 'n bussie vervoer sal word daarheen. En hulle kan maar gerus ook belê in nuwe oortreksels vir hulle banke en matras, dit lyk afskuwelik. Met elke nuwe gas word alles mooi skoongemaak, maar regtig hulle draai daai sopnat kussing net om.

Very nice for a weekend.

It was never mentioned that you have to spend the night overlooking all the houses and palaces. It only leaves you with a few options, that is if you are there first. Small side inlets between the reeds, where you also have to anchor your boat. It was also not mentioned that most places you can go ashore, you have to eat at the restaurant. At the Emirates Casino you may not stop either, but quite a distance from them, after which you will be transported there by van. And they can also invest in new covers for their couches and mattresses, they look hideous. With each new guest, everything is cleaned nicely, but really they just turn that soggy pillow over.

Sal graag weer wil gaan as die weer beter is.

Ons was baie welkom ontvang (en het maklik die ingang gekry soos per aanwysings). Daar was genoeg behulpsame hande om ons te help om ons bagasie van die kar af tot by die boot te kry. Alhoewel dit die hele naweek sonder ophou gereën het, het ons nog steeds elke oomblik geniet. Als op die boot het 100% gewerk en ons was baie mooi ingelig van die reëls en waar ons kon oornag. Saterdag het ons weer by die jetty gestop en die boot, kajuit en dek is silver skoon gemaak. Toilette is skoon gemaak, batterye gelaai en watertenke volgemaak. Ek sal dit aanbeveel en ons sal beslis weer teruggaan vir 'n naweek.

Would love to go again if the weather is better.

We were very warmly welcomed (and easily found the entrance as per directions). There were enough helpful hands to help us get our luggage from the car to the boat. Even though it rained all weekend, we still enjoyed every moment. Everything on the boat worked 100% and we were very well informed of the rules and where we could spend the night. On Saturday we stopped at the jetty again and the boat, cabin and deck were cleaned. Toilets were cleaned, batteries charged and water tanks filled. I would recommend it and we will definitely go back for a weekend.

Dis 'n visvang-paradys daai en 'n ondervinding soos min.

Ons het dit nou baie geniet, veral omdat dit die eerste keer was dat ons op 'n boot gekom het en dit nog self moes ry. My man wil nie eers terugkom nie. Hy het sy grootste vis nog daar gevang. Hy skat hom so 10 kg karp. Hy sal beslis weer gaan. Ons het dit regtig baie geniet.

'n Onvergeetlike ervaring wat ons vir altyd sal onthou en kan aanbeveel.

'n Heerlike, ontspanne ervaring veral vir 'n paartjie wat net 'n bietjie wil wegbreek van die stad se gejaag en lawaai af en natuurlik ideaal vir 'n tydjie weg van die kinders waar ma en pa net 'n bietjie kan ontspan! Het reeds by ander aanbeveel. Volgende keer sal ons net langer wil bly.

Ongemaklik en klein.

Sal nie weer die trip oordoen nie, advertensie misleidend.

Awkward and small.

Will not do the trip again, advertisement misleading.

Soos Paula van 7de laan sal sê: Dit was fantasmagories!

Dit was definitief elke sent werd. Heerlik ontspan. Sandy was baie behulpsaam en so ook die werkers wat elke dag daar was om te help met brandstof en water, want ons het te lekker gekarjakker met die boot. Sal hierdie vakansie aanbeveel vir almal wat van die stadsgejaag en stres wil wegkom.

As Paula from 7de laan will say: It was phantasmagorical!

It was definitely worth every penny. Great relax. Sandy was very helpful and so were the workers who were there every day to help with fuel and water, because we had too much fun with the boat. Would recommend this holiday to anyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Dit was 'n lekker ervaring, maar die verkeerde tyd.

Ons was daar oor 'n naweek met baie ander vinniger en groter bote op die water. In vergelyking met die MSC Cruises was Old Willow No 7 nie werklik waarde vir geld nie. Die ontvangs en reëlings was vriendelik en glad. Ek sou moeilik 'n tweede bespreking by Old Willow No 7 doen. Die eerste was 'n aangename ervaring, maar ek meen nie werklik waarde vir geld nie. Die huisboot was netjies en goed toegerus (behalwe vir die feit dat handdoeke nie voorsien is nie). Moontlik sal 'n stiller tyd van die jaar ook 'n meer rustiger belewenis bevorder het. Ander bote op die rivier het ons mal gery en geskommel. Die aand in 'n sytak was heerlik tussen die gekwetter van voëls en ander naggeluide. Die braaifasiliteit het ook die atmosfeer verbeter.

It was a nice experience, but the wrong time.

We were there over a weekend with many other faster and bigger boats on the water. Compared to the MSC Cruises, Old Willow No 7 was not really value for money. The reception and arrangements were friendly and smooth. I would hardly make a second booking at Old Willow No 7. The first was a pleasant experience, but I don't think it's really value for money. The houseboat was tidy and well equipped (except for the fact that towels were not provided). Possibly a quieter time of year would also have promoted a more peaceful experience. Other boats on the river drove us crazy and rocked. The evening in a tributary was delightful between the chirping of birds and other night sounds. The barbeque facility also enhanced the atmosphere.

Ongelooflike ervaring, water, voëls in die riete, wolke ... sagte bed en mooiste sonsondergange en hope en hope vrede en tyd - kosbare LEKKERTE!

Sandy en personeel het uit hul pad gegaan om ons verblyf 'n sprokie te maak. 3 dae was heeltemal te kort. Ons gaan weer. Beste van 2 wêrelde ... natuur en veilige weelde.

Stunning experience

Had two lovely days on the boat. Angelique was very professional and the four deck hands were amazing. We already have recommended you to two other families. Keep up the good work!

Fantastic! Some great memories were made.

On the whole we had a great weekend. The only complaints from the group was that we ran out of water both days because we were 5 adults and the shower capacity was not adequate. Also, we had to have the boat back by 10am on Sunday morning and we were only able to board at 2pm on Friday which made our stay on the boat very short. Maybe earlier boarding times and later check out times would be better? We were also short of cutlery ... 3 forks for 5 people? But those small issues aside, we had a fantastic time and will definitely do it again. Thanks Old Willow!!!
