Houseboat vacation rentals in Southern Africa

We had a fantastic time on Galloping Waters--excellent service, good food, lovely environment. The staff was very responsive and helpful, and great with the kids (4 kids, ages 10,9, and 6(x2)). The on-deck pool provided for hours of small person entertainment.

We had an awesome experience in the house boat and the kids loved it. The weekend was just to short. Will definitely be back and for an even longer stay.

Myrtle was everything we expected it to be and we were blessed with awesome weather for the few days we spent on the boat. Slept like a baby after witnessing brilliant sunsets. Thank you Jules for

We loved our stay aboard the self-piloted Port Alfred houseboat on the Kowie River. The surroundings were beautiful & peaceful and it was an amazing experience. The hosts were excellent, especially Johan who was the instructor for the course to obtain the temporary skipper's certificate of competence.

The house boat was an adventurous experience. Two of us slept in the tent for the full experience but inside it’s also cozy. In the morning we saw a beautiful sunrise and went to Addo elephant park after breakfast. The advantage is that you only need a few minutes from the boat to the park so we were one of the first ones entering the park and that made it even better. There was a whole big elephant family crossing the street and we were the only ones just standing there and enjoying to see them. If you stay at Winstons boat, don’t miss to go to the park!

What a unique stay. Sunsets to die for which adds to the romantic setting. Comfortable bed and lovely couch to sit outside. We loved every minute!

Definitely an bucket list stay !! Very beautiful place very relaxing enjoyed our stay definitely going back!!
