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.

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.

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.

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.

Amazing experience, bucket list item.

Knysna House boats are such a unique experience. We loved it so much! Top notch hospitality! We would definitely do it again. Things to keep in mind is, arrive early, you don't want to tides to prevent you from taking the boat to the other side of the bridge. Book two nights! Make use of the braai! Remember to book a kayak or tube and remember your power bank.

Dit was 'n belewenis, maar definitief nie die geld werk nie.

Yskas nie gewerk nie, toe vind ons uit die boot se batterye was nie behoorlik gelaai nie. Moes toe die volgende dag oor trek na 'n ander boot. Ons is in geen mate gekompenseer vir die tyd wat ons verloor het op die boot nie en ook nie vir ons ongerief nie. Bote benodig dringende onderhoud, daar was groot veiligheidsrisiko-kwessies. Die S/steel raamwerk van die trappie waarmee mens uit die water of op die boot moet klim was stukkend en kon enige oomblik breek as mens daarop trap of klim. Die bed in die kombuisarea was stukkend en het inmekaar geval toe my dogters op die bed geslaap het. My man moes toe 'n plan maak om die plank op 'n manier in plek te hou sodat hulle darem 'n plek gehad het om te slaap. Die bedrag wat mens betaal is verregaande as mens in berekening neem dat jy letterlik net die boot kry, mens moet tot vir 'n handdoek ekstra betaal. Daar is n porta-potty op die boot, en die is nie eers korrek opgevul nie. Die watertenk was nie eers half nie. Hulle adverteer daar is 'n warm stort aan boord, maar die werk nie eers behoorlik nie. Die personeel is baie vriendelik en het ons baie goed ontvang. Maar ek sal hulle nie aanbeveel nie, mens kry nie wat aan jou verkoop is nie.

It was an experience, but definitely not the money work.

Fridge not working, then we found out the boat's batteries were not properly charged. Then had to move to another boat the next day. We were not compensated in any way for the time we lost on the boat nor for our inconvenience. Boats need urgent maintenance, there were major safety risk issues. The S/steel frame of the step with which one has to get out of the water or onto the boat was broken and could break at any moment if one stepped on it or climbed on it. The bed in the kitchen area was broken and collapsed when my daughters slept on the bed. My husband then had to come up with a plan to somehow hold the board in place so they at least had a place to sleep. The amount you pay is outrageous if you take into account that you literally only get the boat, you even have to pay extra for a towel. There is a porta-potty on the boat, and it is not even filled correctly. The water tank was not even half full. They advertise there is a hot shower on board, but it doesn't even work properly. The staff is very friendly and received us very well. But I wouldn't recommend them, you don't get what you're sold.

Ongelooflik, beste diens ooit.

Duur, maar as dit op jou "bucket list" is just do it. Elke sent werd. Jy moet die oesters doen en 'n vis probeer vang. Gee vir kinders maar see siekpilletjies net vir miskien. Wind kan nogal golwe maak maar ek het baie veilig gevoel in die houseboat. Die kantoor hou jou op hoogte van weerpatrone.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier en rondgery op die meer. Ook die slaap en eet op die huisboot was regtig lekker en iets heel anders as die gewone vakansie. Mens moet maar net bietjie meer versigtig wees as met gewone vakansie. Ons sal beslis weer so iets wil doen.

Dit was 'n baie spesiale unieke ervaring, en ek kan dit baie sterk aanbeveel.

Ons het 'n baie spesiale tyd gehad op ons huisboot, en gelukkig het die weer ook lekker saamgespeel. Dit was my eerste keer wat ek 'n skipper was, gelukkig op 'n baie rustige lagoon. Die ervaring was fantasties, en aandete op die boot se dek onder die sterre was onverbeterlik.

It was a very special and unique experience and can highly recommend it.

We had a very special time on our house boat and luckily the weather played along. It was my first time as a skipper, luckily it was a quiet lagoon. The experience was fantastic and dinner on the boat's deck under the stars were amazing.

Remarkable experience.

Absolutely fantastic experience. Will recommend to any couple. If you need to see if your partner is compatible, then this is a brilliant test. Weather was a bit rough, so team work was required. Thank you to all that made our experience memorable. It was awesome!

Dit was sielskos en 'n wonderlike avontuur.

Was die beste deel van ons vakansie en bied jou alles aan wat jy nodig het om jou batterye te laai. Stilte, asemrowende natuurskoon, vars lug en die heerlike ondervinding om met die see se geluid in die agtergrond wat jou heerlik aan die slaap sus. Personeel uiters gasvry, vriendelik en behulpsaam.

It was soul food and a wonderful adventure.

Was the best part of our holiday and everything you need to recharge your batteries is provided. Quiet, amazing nature, fresh air and a lovely experience to hear the soothing sound of the ocean before falling asleep. Very hospitable, friendly and helpful staff.

Hoogtepunt van wittebrood!

Dit is enige hengelaar se droom vakansie. Huur 'n kajak om saam te ry en gaan maak aas vanaf jou eie houseboat! Die boot is baie goed ingerig en alles wat jy nodig het om die verblyf gerieflik te maak is aan boord. Ons sal dit beslis weer doen!

Highlight of honeymoon!

Any fisherman's dream holiday. Hire a kajak and make bait from your own houseboat! The boat is very well-equipped with everything you need for comfortable accommodation.

Wonderlike ervaring.

Wonderlike ervaring. Sal dit beslis weer doen. Stort en toilet is ook 'n ander ervaring, ongelukkig nie goed nie. Maar die stortgeriewe in die hawe maak op daarvoor. Begrip dat daar nie spasie is vir 5-ster-badkamers op die boot nie.

Wonderful experience.

Wonderful experience. Will definitely be back. Shower and toilet is a new experience - not good. But shower facilities in the harbour was nice. Understand there is limited space for 5 star bathroom on a boat.

Fantasties ontspannend.

Net die ding as jy wil gaan ontspan met jou gesin, of wegbreek vir romantiese paar dae. Die personeel is fantasties en niks is ooit te moeilik om te reël nie. Maak seker jy huur 'n kajak ook by, want die meer verleen hom vir ure se genot op die water. Maak net seker jy koop jou kruideniersware voor jy op die boot klim, want daar is nie 'n winkel binne stapafstand nie. Ek kan hierdie definitief aanbeveel.

Fantastically relaxing.

Just the thing if you want to go relax with your family, or break away for a romantic few days. The staff are fantastic and nothing is ever too difficult to arrange. Make sure you rent a kayak as well, because the lake lends itself to hours of enjoyment on the water. Just make sure you buy your groceries before you get on the boat because there is no store within walking distance. I can definitely recommend this.

Fantasties. Sal weer en weer gaan. Skoon met die mooiste uitsigte. Die beste ervaring ooit.

Dit was die beste deel van ons vakansie. Die boot is perfek vir 'n paartjie. Alles was skoon gerieflik met asemrowende uitsigte. Christo en Melissa was albei wonderlik met hulle diens. Niks beter as die Knysna huisboot vir 'n paar dae nie. Ons was mal daaroor.
