Kraalbaai Lifestyle Houseboats

Fantastic.

Awesomeness.

Lekke slaap op die water!

Baie lekker gebly, dis rustig op n ander "level". Die huisboot kort onderhoud en die stort werk nie regtig nie. Sal ek weer gaan: definitief!

Just fabulous!

Everything I wanted and needed.

Dit was 'n belewenis en die perfekte keuse om net te ontspan.

Fantastiese ervaring en idilliese omgewing, maar ontvangs, instandhouding en netheid kort baie aandag.

Superb.

Very relaxing and enjoyable. Beautiful setting.

The most relaxing, beautiful stay.

Stayed 3 nights on Serenity. We had 3 amazing weather days. Loved the fact that the boat constantly turns slowly, so your view keeps changing. The boat transfer guys were amazing, very helpful and fast with luggage, transfer requests, and a quick gas bottle change when we ran out. Will definitely book again.

Relaxing, serene, beautiful.

We really enjoyed our stay on the small boat. Talent was very helpful at fulfilling our requests. The boat and the views were spectacular. Rental of watersports equipment was quite pricey and would have been nice to be included in the fee. Unfortunately, we also encountered plumbing issues on the second evening. Despite these inconveniences, we can definitely recommend Kraalbaai Houseboats!

Blerrie lekker gekuier op die see!

Moenie die braairooster in die water gooi nie.

Not in winter.

Definitely not worth the money. The boat leaked rain in the kitchen. Had to use soup bowls to catch the water as well as rain through the bedroom window next to the electrical socket. The kitchen cupboards were wet too. Mattress area in the main bedroom was filthy! Money paid at entrance to the park x 2 was not at all mentioned. Initial entrance, yes! What if I arrived with neither cash nor card? Disappointed to say the least. Refunds were not acceptable should I have cancelled!

Disappointing.

First night - electricity failed. Had to contend with noise of the generator for hours and the next morning and workers while attending to the fault. We booked the place for the tranquility. No sink plug or drying towels in the kitchen. Had to ask them to bring some on Saturday. Chairs in kitchen, bed tables and table in lounge dirty and need a coat of paint. Haven't swept under the beds in months. Sleeper couch broken. Overall in a worn-out state.

My kuier was asemrowend, het geen klagtes. Sal definitief weer daar gaan kuier, hopelik 'n bietjie langer volgende keer. Julle is tops, hou so aan.

Die uitsig was so mooi toe ons wakker word het. Lekker geswem en gekuier.

'n Onvergeetlike naweek.

Pragtige landskap en omgewing. Die huisboot self wat goed ingerig. Saam met goeie vriende was hierdie 'n naweek wat ek beslis sal aanbeveel. Dankie vir die hulpvaardige, vriendelike personeel wat altyd bereidwillig was om te help.

Memorable.

See stars.

Wonderful except for misinformation on visitors allowed on the boat.

Bathroom urgently needs upgrade. Otherwise excellent concept.

Absolutely gorgeous. Peaceful and serene.

We spent the most amazing time here for 4 days. It was pure bliss away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The staff were friendly and amazing, the houseboat was everything and more. Our days were spent fishing, SUP-ing and spending quality time together.

Fantasties.

Ek wil elke jaar terugkom!

Heerlike wegbreeknaweek.

Was saam met my vriendinne op Eve vir my verjaarsdagpartytjie. Bietjie teleurstellend dat die oond wat nie gewerk het nie, moes bel dat hulle dit kom uitsorteer. Die stort was 'n riller - almal het eers skielik kokende water gehad en daarna yskoud. Nie een van die 7 kon 'n lekker stort neem nie. Daar kort dalk 'n bietjie instandhouding. Gordyne was vuil met merke op en toiletdeur nie netjies skoon - vingermerke en kolle binne en buitekant van deur. Daar was net 2 rolle toiletpapier tussen 7 mense vir die naweek - maar hulle het dadelik nog gebring. Verder het ons 'n heerlike naweek gehad.

A different experience in a lovely position.

The advert of luxury is misleading as the facility is poorly equipped and lacked some essential items in the kitchen. No fresh water, coffee, tea, dinner plates. We were disappointed with what we were offered and certainly would not have paid that amount had I been aware of these short comings, so in a nutshell, totally overpriced!

Lovely stay but the place was filthy!

It looks cleaner and luxurious (luxury is not a word I would use to describe a shower cracked with dirt).

Enjoyed the view.

We was told no music but the double storage houseboat did make loud music after midnight.

Heerlik, gaan definitief weer.

Baie dankie aan Martin, Devon, Hein en Talent. Absoluut niks is te veel moeite vir hulle nie. Beveel ten sterkste aan.

Excellent accommodation.

We enjoyed our stay. The view was breathtaking. We are definitely going again in September.

Heerlike natuur ondervinding.

Baie netjies en gemaklike verblyf. Een aand was net te min. Mens moet te minste twee aande gaan om te kano en die natuur te geniet. Staff is baie vriendelik en baie behulpsaam. Sal definitief weer gaan.

Looking for a quiet place with a relaxing view?

Quiet, nature, loneliness. If that's what you're looking for. This is it. You must love being on the water though! Wintertime probably not the best time. Except for the springflowers. Then you're just 10 minutes away.

Rustig, stil en absoluut perfek in die baai.

Rustig, still en absoluut perfek vir die siel en liggaam.

Wished for a peaceful relaxing weekend, got the opposite at times.

Had a pleasant time and well deserved time spent with the family but this was unfortunately interrupted many times. What was supposed to be a relaxing weekend with brothers and sisters and their spouses aged between 45-59 years of age was the complete opposite at times. The pro`s which are too many to mention as it's a paradise on water outweighs the con`s, but unfortunately we came to have a break not to bring the city life with us. Con`s: On arrival we were met with loud music singing and shouting from the other houseboat which is in close proximity. SANparks does not allow music but this was not enforced at all. This party continued until 2:25 am. The second house boat had a huge groups which overpowered the first boat with singing shouting and dance. They also died down a few minutes after the first boat. Also the power banks that they have on the boats are not sufficient in cloudy weather. So the following morning when all our neighbours were asleep, we wanted to shower but there was no power hence you can't flush the toilet, shower, or wash dishes. After a call to the boat keepers that resides on shore about our problem he was quick upon arrival then linked a generator at the kitchen door and had this loud generator making a noise with petrol fumes entering the cabin, I even made a video of this. Well this was a pleasant morning wake up experience. After running the generator for about an hour it was removed and taken to our rowdy neighbours as they were going to disembark that morning at 10 am and also had no power. Just before 11 am our power was off again and our famous generator was brought back and we had to endure a few hours of petrol smell and our peaceful quiet time was taken away until the generator stopped as it ran out of petrol. It was removed and we tried to continue with the remaining time we had in tranquillity as we were leaving the following morning. Well the next morning at 7:14 am we were all awakened by the return of our generator screeching away to give us power and to flush toilets etc. I feel that these issues were never mentioned by the establishment and that anybody wanting to hire these boats should be told beforehand. You expect to be at peace and to enjoy the surroundings but this we never experienced.

Lekker boot-ervaring.

Die boot is modern en skoon binne. Die personeel is vriendelik en behulpsaam. Dit was 'n koue wintersdag. Ons het vuur gemaak in die kaggeltjie, en glad nie koud gekry nie. Gedink ons gaan 2 sakke hout nodig hê, maar die kaggel is baie effektief en ons het nie eers 'n halwe sak hout gebruik vir die nag nie. Wel 2 pakke blits om vuur te begin. Hoewel die boot nie ry nie, beweeg hy genoeg in die getystroom om die ervaring van ry op 'n boot te gee. Ons het die mooiste foto's geneem en lekker gekuier tot laat nag en toe rustig en warm geslaap.
