Houseboat summary
A floating home away from home. That's the best way to describe this houseboat. Be amazed by the great level of comfort and how easy these houseboats are to drive.
Houseboat description
The Knysna bay is well known for the wonderful lagoons, great beaches, bird watching and fishing. And what better way to drive around in your private houseboat and enjoy this great area with your friends and family? All boats are designed to host 4 adults or a family of 5 thanks to the fore-cabin that has a double bed, the dining table that can be transformed into a double bed and the bench seat that can be turned into a child’s bed. The kitchen is fully equipped with an oven, stove, fridge (electric), sink and all kitchen utensils, crockery and cutlery.
Also the houseboats have a compact bathroom with a hot shower, chemical toilet and basin. All the required bedding is available, just as a cd player, captains book and all safety equipment (life jackets, fire extinguisher and first aid kit).
