We thoroughly enjoyed our two-night stay at Old Willow No. 7 Houseboat Charters. The houseboat was comfortable, clean, and provided a peaceful setting to relax and unwind. Spending time on the water made for a memorable experience, and we appreciated the tranquil atmosphere. One thing worth mentioning is that, for a stay of more than one night, I personally wouldn't recommend four adults and one child. While there is definitely enough sleeping space, having one of the beds set up in the common area made the mornings a little less practical for us, as we like to get an early start with breakfast. The area can easily be converted back into the dining space, so this is purely a matter of personal preference and not a criticism of the accommodation. We did experience a few issues with our boat, but there was no need to worry. Jones came to our rescue and assisted us in no time. His prompt help was greatly appreciated and ensured that our trip continued smoothly. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and very helpful throughout our stay. The water was beautiful, and although we visited during winter, we brought our own feather duvet and slept warm and comfortably each night. This is definitely also a wonderful option for a romantic getaway for two. The peaceful surroundings and unique experience of staying on the water make it the perfect place to relax and spend quality time together. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We would happily recommend Old Willow No. 7 Houseboat Charters to anyone looking for a relaxing and unique getaway.

Experience! The Houseboat experience was incredibly fun! Definitely something I would recommend to everyone. It was the perfect combination of relaxation and adventure. Being on the water, having a nice braai and enjoying a peaceful atmosphere was especially fun. We also had a great time sailing around and discovered incredible places where we could dock overnight. The houseboat itself was comfortable, hot shower after a nice day, everything you need is there. And of course, the highlight was definitely the fishing; I caught the biggest fish, it's so fun to fish from the houseboat. It was an incredibly fun getaway, full of good memories, and we would go back anytime.

Die Houseboat ervaring was ongelooflik lekker! Definitief iets wat ek vir almal sal aanbeveel. Dit was die perfekte kombinasie vir ontspanning en avontuur. Om op die water te wees, lekker te kan braai en 'n rustige atmosfeer te geniet, was besonders lekker. Ons het ook lekker rondgevaar en ongelooflike plekke ontdek waar ons kon dock oornag. Die houseboat self was gemaklik, warm stort na 'n lekker dag, alles is daar wat mens nodig het. En natuurlik, die hoogtepunt was beslis die visvang; ek het die grootste visse gevang, dis so lekker om van die houseboat af te vang. Dit was 'n ongelooflik lekker wegbreek, vol goeie herinneringe, en ons sal enige tyd weer teruggaan.

Grand experience. To whom it may concern. Our stay on the Old Willow No 7 Houseboat was amazing. Johannes was awesome with his training, patience and guidance beyond expectation. I will be doing this again. The only challenge was there was no parking at the Emerald Casino, so it was a great fishing weekend.

Awesome trip with friends and will do this again. It was a wonderful trip. Will definitely do it again. There was no false advertising, got exactly what I expected. Recommend a weekend to long weekend stay, especially if you need to rest and relax after the rush and stress in JHB.
