    An amazing, private place that is quirky and comfortable. Everything one needed was provided. Communication was friendly and helpful. A kind offer was made for a late check-out so the husband could watch the rugby!

Escape to The Boathouse, a fully walled and private sanctuary where comfort meets nature. Rented as a whole, this charming retreat comfortably sleeps up to six guests in its cozy loft. Spend your days in the spacious, open-plan living area, complete with a large indoor braai perfect for any weather. As evening falls, gather around the crackling fire in the outside boma, nestled beneath a magnificent Eucalyptus tree, and watch as spectacular river sunsets paint the sky. With secure access to the Berg River just a gate away, and a safe space for your beloved pets, The Boathouse promises an unforgettable getaway for the entire family.
The Boathouse is a place we truly love. We can't wait for you to also experience it. It's our family's favourite escape from the busy city, where we come to relax, reconnect, and re-energize. You'll love the total privacy of our fully walled property and have peace of mind knowing your pet children are safe with no escape routes. Our favourite way to spend quality time together is gathered around the boma or inside by the fire. The town itself is a hidden gem. It's one of the last true West Coast settings, with a friendly community and a charming, non-commercialized vibe. We hope you'll enjoy exploring the local restaurants, pubs, and unique stores as much as we do. Should you need anything at all, we are just a phone call away. We hope you create memories here and fall in love with The Boathouse, just as we have.
Situated on a very quiet street, The Boathouse offers a serene escape with exceptional privacy. The property is designed for peace and quiet, with neighbors set far back from the living areas. Guests will love the tranquil sound of boats on the Berg River, a perfect backdrop to their holiday, while the noise of passing cars is a rarity. From the back of the house, a secure gate opens to a private alley that leads directly to the water's edge, where the Berg River becomes your personal playground. You can take leisurely strolls along the riverbank, find a quiet spot on one of the jetties to relax, or try your luck at fishing. For those who want to get out and explore, we have two kayaks available, perfect for paddling the tranquil waters at your own pace. For your convenience and peace of mind, the large, fully walled corner plot offers private and secure parking with ample space for all vehicles. Access to the street is controlled by an electronic sliding gate, ensuring a safe and seamless arrival and departure.
