Perfek.

Uit die boeke uit. Dit was nou een van die beste plekke waar ons al ooit gebly het. Die Boathouse was picture perfect. Het als wat mens nodig het en ons het so tuis gevoel, net 'n jammer ons moes weer gaan. Perfekte area en grond vir ons Axl gewees en hy kon dit ook vir 'n slag geniet met vele spasie.

Perfect.

Out of the books. This was now one of the best places we have ever stayed. The Boathouse was picture perfect. Has everything you need and we felt so at home, only a pity we had to go again. Perfect area and land for our Axl and he could also enjoy it for once with lots of space.

Superb.

The Boat House experience was superb! The house is kitted with more than you will ever need! The braai area really helps to bring the kuier together! I would recommend 11 out of 10 times to anyone!

Beslis 'a home from home', soos die Engelse spreekwoord lui.

Dit was 'n heerlike naweek gewees. The Boathouse het alles wat jy benodig vir 'n fantastiese wegbreek met 'n gesin en vriende. Jy kan letterlik net jou handdoeke inpak; verder is daar alles wat jy benodig. Die eienaar het beslis aan alles gedink en nog meer wat benodig word. Die massiewe binnebraai is 'n absolute wenner! Ons beplan alreeds ons volgende wegbreek daar!

Definitely 'a home from home', as the English saying goes.

It had been a lovely weekend. The Boathouse has everything you need for a fantastic break with family and friends. You can literally just pack your towels; otherwise there is everything you need. The owner has definitely thought of everything and more that is needed. The massive indoor grill is an absolute winner! We are already planning our next getaway there!

Werner, ons is baie bly dat julle die tyd so geniet het by The Boathouse, baie dankie dat jy dit deel. Jammer die weer was nie so goed nie. Ons hoop om julle gou weer terug te verwelkom en as die weer beter is dat julle bo boma braai- en kayak-ervarings op die rivier ten volle kan geniet. Baie dankie vir jul ondersteuning en dat julle die plek so mooi gelaat het.

Baie lekker uitgerus!

Ons het as gesin van 5 volwassenes en 3 honde uiters lekker by The Boathouse vakansie gehou en ontspan oor Kersfees en Nuwejaar. Die huis is goed uitgelê en toegerus met wat mens nodig het vir ontspan en kuier. Die binne- en buitebraai areas het veral baie aftrek gekry tydens ons verblyf. Die eienaar, André, het ons vrae blitsig beantwoord en ook voorstelle gegee van aktiwiteite wat ons in die omgewing kan doen. Hy het uit sy pad gegaan om dit vir ons so gerieflik moontlik te maak. Selfs al die toerusting in die huis, soos die kajakke, was beskikbaar vir ons gebruik. En die toegang tot die private jetty maak die kuier rondom sonsondergang iets besonders. Alhoewel daar nie WiFi beskikbaar was tydens ons verblyf nie, was daar tekens dat die installering van fibre in die omgewing onderweg is. The Boathouse kan met vrymoedigheid aanbeveel word vir enigiemand wat in die Velddrif area wil gaan uitspan.

Very well rested!

As a family of 5 adults and 3 dogs, we had an extremely enjoyable holiday at The Boathouse and relaxed over Christmas and New Year. The house is well laid out and equipped with what one needs for relaxing and visiting. The indoor and outdoor barbecue areas especially got a lot of discount during our stay. The owner, André, answered our questions in a flash and also gave us suggestions of activities that we could do in the area. He went out of his way to make it as comfortable as possible for us. Even all the equipment in the house, like the kayaks, was available for our use. And the access to the private jetty makes visiting around sunset something special. Although there was no WiFi available during our stay, there were signs that the installation of fiber in the area was underway. The Boathouse can be confidently recommended to anyone who wants to venture out in the Velddrif area.

Cozy and clean holiday home.

Excellently equipped kitchen and lovely braai and living space. My dad, who is very tall, couldn't stand up straight in the bedrooms (all located upstairs), but should be fine for average height people. The bathroom is downstairs. Very close to the river to take long and relaxing walks.

Van die beste. Gaan definitief teruggaan.

Pragtige plek vir familie wegbreek. Volledig toegeruste kombuis met alles wat jy nodig het, met wasmasjien en skottelgoedwasser. Groot ontspanningskamer met kwaliteit rusbanke, DStv, dartboard en baie verskillende speletjies. Baie veilig met genoeg parkering binne in die erf. Beste van alles, die eienaar se kommunikasie was van die beste en hy was altyd beskikbaar.

Die lekkerste verblyf in Velddrif!

The Boathouse is een van die mooiste plekke waar ons al gebly het. Huis is baie skoon, netjies, stylvol en het alles wat jy nodig sal kry. Andrè was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam met al die reëlings. Hy het seker gemaak alles is reg met ons verblyf. Top gasheer! Ons sal The Boathouse enige tyd hoogs aanbeveel vir enige iemand wat 'n lekker naweek of vakansie saam met hulle gesin of vriende en vierpootkinders wil hou. Sien julle gou weer!

Lieflike atmosfeer en heerlike kuiertjie.

The Boathouse het ons met ope arms verwelkom. Die eienaar is rerig baie vriendelik en het seker gemaak dat alles perfek was. Die plekkie het alles en meer wat mens nodig het en was mooi skoon en netjies. Ons het elke oomblik van die kuiertjie geniet. 'n Paar meter van die rivier kon mens die mooiste sonsondergang beleef en net die skoonheid op die bankie inneem. Beslis die moeite werd. Ons sal beslis weer gaan kuier. Baie dankie.
