Our stay at The Boathouse was nothing short of exceptional! The house is beautifully equipped with everything you could possibly need to make your stay comfortable, relaxing, and memorable. A special thank you to Andre, who is truly an outstanding host. His communication is top-notch β€” you never have to wonder about anything because he responds almost immediately and is always willing to assist. What really makes The Boathouse stand out is the incredible sense of privacy and tranquility. It's the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with family. The stunning artwork throughout the house adds so much character and charm, making the experience even more special. My family absolutely LOOOOOOOVED every moment of our stay! We are already missing The Boathouse 😞 and counting down the days until we return. Without a doubt, this has become our home away from home. ❀️ Thank you, Andre, for hosting us and creating such a wonderful experience. We can't wait to come back!🌟

It is a nice and quite neighbourhood. The host was always prepared to help, if needed. Sunset can be viewed from the bedroom window. Easy access to the main road. Big Braai inside the living area.

Lovely accommodation. Well appointed. The road is very quiet and the boathouse had everything we needed. Quick access to the river was a real treat for evening walks.

Nothing.

I loved the quiet, peacefulness. The fact that there was everything we needed. Played games, enjoyed the walks and kids loved the kayaks.

The only thing was the one bathroom for 6 people. I noticed another on the outside, but we did not have access

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this stunning house, and it truly exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the owner greeted us with incredible warmth and hospitality they were simply amazing, going out of their way to make our family feel so welcome and cared for. The house itself is absolutely beautiful, thoughtfully designed with every detail in mind. The extras provided were superb from luxurious toiletries and a fully stocked kitchen to cozy blankets and all the little touches that make a stay feel luxurious. The owner even took the extra step to fill up the pool especially for my kids, which turned our holiday into pure joy for them. The location is wonderful: peaceful yet convenient, with breathtaking views and easy access to everything we wanted to explore. We spent our days out and about, but coming back to this haven each evening was pure bliss. We enjoyed every single moment of our time here and left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. If you're looking for the perfect family-friendly place to stay, look no further this house is a gem!

"A Tranquil Escape at The Boathouse in Velddrif"

10.0

We had the most wonderful stay at The Boathouse β€” it truly felt like a home away from home. The house is beautifully cosy, thoughtfully equipped, and every detail made us feel welcomed and cared for. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that all our needs had been anticipated. The garden is nothing short of magical. Surrounded by lush greenery and serenaded by incredible birdlife, it felt like a private sanctuary β€” peaceful, rejuvenating, and deeply restorative. Whether enjoying morning coffee outdoors or simply soaking in the quiet, it was the perfect retreat from the bustle of everyday life. We left feeling refreshed and grateful, already dreaming of our next visit. Highly recommended for anyone seeking comfort, nature, and a touch of serenity.

"Peaceful sanctuary that"

10.0

Perfect. Out of the books. This is one of our favourite spots to visit. The Boathouse is a sanctuary for our family to escape the city and enjoy the tranquility of Veldrif. The house has everything you need and is super comfortable. Our dogs love to run around in the spacious yard. We also enjoyed a little fishing and birdwatching in the huge tree in the yard as well as down by the water. The indoor braai was fantastic and the dart board provided us with hours of enjoyment as well. Lots of great suggestions from the host for spots to visit as well. Thanks Andre for having us. We will definitely be back.
