It was a pleasant enough experience for an overnight stay. An adventure!

The linen & pillows were very clean. We did not have the breakfast. The location is excellent to visit the Addo Elephant Park. However, it's very close to the main road & traffic could be heard throughout the night.

Fabulously fun spot- highly recommended!

A real bucket list experience- this is a really incredible location and the boat has been thoughtfully set up to be really comfortable. It’s a fun and peaceful place to stay. Very special.
