A beautiful stay with great amenities, a perfect riverside location. We had such a lovely stay at the Boathouse! The place was clean, comfortable, and felt very safe. We absolutely loved the amenities, and the location was perfect, so close to the river, which made the whole stay even more enjoyable. Overall, we had a really nice time and would definitely recommend staying here. The owner was also incredibly responsive and always available whenever we had a question. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

Fantastic. It was a fantastic weekend and the location of the Boathouse was as described, close to the sea and jetty. Many thanks to the host who made sure everything ran smoothly. Definitely worth a visit.

Fantasties. Dit was 'n fantastiese naweek en die ligging van die Boathouse was nes dit beskryf was naby die see en jetty. Baie dankie aan die gasheer wat vir seker gemaak het alles verloop vlot. Definitief 'n besoek werd.

We had a great time and can definitely recommend The Boathouse. We had a very nice stay. The owner is very friendly and helpful. Everything was ready for our stay and the place has a lovely garden and location. It was very nice that our dog could go with us because the garden is completely fenced.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier en kan The Boathouse definitief aanbeveel. Ons het baie lekker gebly. Die eienaar is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Alles was gereed vir ons verblyf en die plek het 'n lieflike tuin en ligging. Dit was baie lekker dat ons hond kon saamgaan omdat die tuin heeltemal omhein is.

We loved staying at The Boathouse. We loved The Boathouse. The host was very on the ball, providing all necessary info. The house itself is lovely, with a gorgeous garden and many beautiful quirky artistic touches inside - truly, a home from home. It is a short walk to the river. We used the canoes for a paddle upriver, which was wonderful. There are plenty of fans provided for hot weather. Sleeping arrangements are in close quarters, so are best suited for close friends and/or family.

Absolutely wonderful. We had the most wonderful stay at the Boathouse in Laaiplek this past weekend. The house was absolutely beautiful and had everything we could possibly need — it truly felt like a home away from home. The kids loved every moment, and the art throughout the house was incredible, giving it such a unique charm. A special bonus was discovering the best coffee and most beautiful plants at the Bokmakierie Nursery, and treating ourselves to the most delicious bespoke cheese from Kokerboom Kaas. We left feeling relaxed, happy, and already excited for our next visit. Highly recommended!

Hi Lara. We always love to hear from our guests how much they enjoyed themselves and are very grateful for sharing your experience. So true, the town offers so many experiences, and hearing that your stay at The Boathouse added to you having a great time is special. Thank you very much for your support; we hope to have you over soon again. Summer time is awesome to visit Rooibaai as the weather is great, and it is wonderful to be on the river with the kayaks. Stay well, and thanks again.

New area and delicious. Lovely stay - the braai and dart board inside were great in bad weather.

Nuwe area en heerlik. Heerlik gebly - die braai en dartbord binne was great met slegte weer.

Thank you very much Retha for the visit and review. We hope to see you again when the weather is better. Agree, there are so many more activities at the river when the weather cooperates. Until we see you again, thank you very much for your support.

Baie dankie Retha vir die besoek en resensie. Ons hoop om julle weer te sien wanneer die weer beter is. Stem saam, daar is so baie meer aktiwiteite by die rivier as die weer saamspeel. Tot ons weer sien, baie dankie vir jul ondersteuning.
