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.

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).

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.

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.

Amazing, best service ever.
Expensive, but if it's on your "bucket list" just do it. Worth every cent. You have to do the oysters and try to catch a fish. Give children some sick pills just in case. Wind can make quite waves but I felt very safe in the houseboat. The office keeps you updated on weather patterns.

Especially nice and something different.
We had a great time and drove around on the lake. Also sleeping and eating on the houseboat was really nice and something very different from the usual holiday. You just have to be a little more careful than on a normal holiday. We would definitely like to do something like this again.

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.
