gently cruise along

The vaal river,  self-drive, fully equipped, welcome to sunset houseboats.

Be the Captain of your holiday in one of our luxurious, fully equipped, self-drive houseboats and gently cruise along the Vaal River. A romantic holiday for 2 or a getaway for the family, enjoy the beautiful sunsets and scenery only an hour from Johannesburg.

luxurious Houseboats

The luxurious houseboat comfortably sleeps 4 adults or a family of 5 with 2 queen size beds on board. It has a separate bedroom with queen size bed and plenty of cupboards to pack your things. The other queen size bed folds down into a section of the lounge.

The comfortable lounge is equipped with a TV that has a wide variety of both adult and kids movies. There is also a variety of board games for both adults and kids for your entertainment.

Guests should enjoy themselves

The guests are given an extensive tutorial on how to operate the boat and are supplied with an interim skippers license (for the duration of their stay), after which they are in charge of their destination and will only return should they require something extra or at the end of their stay.

We expect our guests to have fun and enjoy themselves but to have respect for the things we provide so that other people may also have the privilege of using them. There is no smoking permitted inside the houseboat only outside on the patio or top deck.

The kitchen is fully equipped with cutlery and crockery for 6 people. It is fitted with a 2-plate gas hob and a 150Lt fridge/freezer combo. There is a gas braai on the front patio and even a potjie pot on board and with all the utensils you can russell up a meal fit for a king.

The upper-deck of the houseboat has a large table with seats as well as 2 sun loungers. This is the perfect spot "catch a tan" or to enjoy the beautiful sunsets that the Vaal River boasts. The boat comes with pool noodles to float and relax in the water on a hot day and if you are keen to eat out, there are plenty of restaurants and river side pubs to visit.

The bathroom is fitted with a standard household toilet, a spacious shower and enough bath towels for the guests on board.

Self-catering

This is a self-catering houseboat, you need to bring your own food and of course your clothes. You would also need to bring your own swimming towels as these are not supplied.

As the surroundings along the Vaal River are some of the most beautiful in South Africa, it is not hard to see why so many people drive long distances to experience the Liquid Lounge cruises for themselves.
