We lived in a Boathouse down at the sea, everyone called us pretty privileged!
We had a great stay and were rested when we left. Rubert's Boathouse is equipped with all the facilities one needs for 2 people. The location is breathtaking with a view over the sea. It is a peaceful environment and we will definitely stay there again. Thank you for your hospitality.

Cute and unique accommodation for a couple and good value for money!
Very well appointed place and good value for money! Ideal for an evening or 3 overnight stay. Quiet, safe and clean neighbourhood, also close enough to Knysna. Can see and hear the sea from your bed, just a bit far to walk but very unique place. Friendly and helpful host. Will definitely come here again.

Rubert's Boathouse 's response
Dear Billy,
Thank you for your review. Rubert’s Boathouse is accurately described as a "Tiny House" with detailed photos, a full list of amenities, and its size clearly stated in the listing. The unit has consistently earned high ratings for cleanliness, comfort, and value, with an average of 4.7 from 38 reviews on this platform alone and a "Super-Host" award on other popular platforms.
Your comment acknowledged the space as "comfortable," yet your unusually low scores contradict this and are not consistent with the experience shared by the majority of guests. We stand by the quality of our offering, which remains a popular and well-rated choice for travelers exploring Brenton-on-Sea. May we request kindly that you reconsider your scoring when reviewing other establishments during your travels, as it does impact the overall income for some hardworking individuals.
Regards,
Rubert's

Comfortable, cozy accommodation.
The boat house was an old storage place for a boat - it is very well furnished and nicely done with a lovely view! It is not set up for loadshedding at all (all kitchen appliances are electric), so look carefully at the schedule or maybe eat out instead. Everything you could possibly need is there - from a vacuum to a steam pot, so there is actually very little space to cook and put your things down. Definitely a very cute place, perfect for our 2 nights there. They are pet friendly and our cat and dog were together, note that there is an outside seating area, but it is not enclosed or fenced at all, so we mostly had the critters inside and on a leash.

Although OK. It's too small. Just a single garage converted.
Rubert's Boathouse 's response
Dear Gary En Sue,
Thank you for staying at our Boathouse, called a boathouse as it is longer, wider and taller than a single garage to originally accommodate a boat & trailer just as the listing says, and very positively remarked on by all other guests in the reviews before yours.
We take note of your observation of sweat stains on a cushion in the unit, however can't verify this as one of our cushions was taken by you and those that remain are in perfect, clean and neat order as they were when I personally prepared the unit for your stay.
Unfortunately, the internet proved to our little part of heaven in Brenton-On-Sea is supplied via wireless connection from the Knysna CBD and it does become unstable when areas have loadshedding or reduction. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the unforeseen interruptions in the connection.
Further, we trust and hope that you enjoyed your prolonged stay in the "house-boat on the lagoon"!! it is a magical area this!
All our best, Rubert's

Only for overnight.
Very convenient option for overnight stay. Nice view. Friendly reception. A little far from the sea. The photo is a bit misleading. The cooking facilities need urgent attention. The cutlery drawer is dirty and full of crumbs, and most of the cutlery has rust marks. The drying rack and all the other steel items are rusted. Maybe they should consider using plastic. The toaster was very dirty and I didn't get the chance to use it.

Rubert's Boathouse 's response
Hi Jaqueline, baie dankie vir die terugvoer. Ons neem als aan boord. Om enige verwarring oor ons posisie aan te dui het ek nog foto’s bygesit op die profiel wat ons ligging aandui, 300m stap, 1,6km by pad. Ons het na die kosmaakgeriewe gekyk en ’n algehele skoon maak gedoen. Ons kon geen roes op die eetgerei sien, aangesien dit “stainless steel” is , ongelukkig roes alles metaal as jy naby die see bly, ons moes al tot die USB poorte van ons rekenaars vervang. Gelukkig is dit een van min veilige plekke oor in Suid Afrika aangesien ons so geïsoleer is met net een pad in-en-uit, kinders speel in die strate en huise is nie omhein.

It's basically an old boathouse/single garage that has been converted into a beautiful place to stay. It's completely away from the main house and therefore very private. Although it is quite cramped, there is everything one needs to spend the night in beautiful surroundings.
