Absolutely lovely, so peaceful.
To be able to just look out over the Berg River during the day and even at night and enjoy the tranquility and peacefulness was heavenly. Our host and his family were so helpful with information about the town and its residents. I will definitely go there again.

It was a very nice break from the city.
Roy is very nice and received us kindly and was very helpful. We had a nice boat ride from the premises. The unit has a beautiful view of the mountain river from the balcony. Will visit again.

Relax by the water.
This break was a much needed escape after a very busy and exhausting time. The Liferboat is truly an oasis in the "rat race". The marina with its tranquility on your doorstep rubs off on you and you leave really reluctantly. To the Massyns, thank you for going the extra mile to assist with moving the dates when yet another engagement interfered with our booking. From the reception to the "good bye" we felt welcome and at home. We will definitely visit here again.

Beautiful surroundings and lovely holiday home.
Is a nice lodge on the river, which makes it idyllically beautiful, bird life exciting. Unfortunately, we could only really use the front porch overlooking the water one day, because the wind blew us apart the first two days. Hospitable owners. We will definitely use Liferboat again.

Pleasant stay.
What got in the way were plastic teaspoons, no barbecue dish, three wine glasses, one of which was cracked, replaced the next day by the owner, and the other a small plastic glass. Not safe parking for car. DStv package no wonder.

Just overnight for one night on tour.
Terribly beautiful view. Very neat and comfortable. Nicely laid out. Just didn't feel as private. Unfortunately, there was also a 'nosy' neighbor who dropped us off because we came in late and her dogs were barking.

Liferboat was ideaal vir ons doel.
This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.
Liferboat was ideal for our purpose.
Liferboat provided us with the basic necessities for a one night stopover on our way to see flowers on the West Coast. Sleeping for two in separate beds, place to relax, advice where to look for more flowers. The people were friendly and helpful. But the furniture and how everything is arranged is a bit old fashioned and strange, but comfortable. And a smell in the apartment.

Dear Thinus,
Thank you for the kind rating and apologies that the mattress was not to your liking. We had a complaint about the mattress in February 2020 and immediately replaced it with a new one and expected better life than just over a year so will check it out and replace if needed.

Hi Kosie,
Thanks for the wonderful review, we also enjoyed having you and your wife staying with us. In an effort to improve the Liferboat we would appreciate it if you could expand on "kombuistoerusting het bietjie aandag nodig". We would like to know where we could improve and make sure future guests have a better experience.

Dear Tracy Lee,
Apologies for the accommodation not meeting expectation. I thought we had the rooms and the layout covered in the photos on the Traveground web page. I have reviewed the photos and they could be misleading so will add more photos for our future clients, we will also give more detail in the write up on the property. Thanks for bringing this to our attention and we hope to see you again in the not too distant future.
Best regards,

The location on the Port Owen canal made Liferboat very attractive. The accommodation on the upper floor is private but has access to the canal and the jetty in front. Rory also made his canoe available to us. A wonderful West Coast experience.
