BREEDE RIVER HOUSEBOAT HIRE
Breede River Houseboat Hire operates from Malagas Hotel premises.
Leisure liners are sturdy, safe, and easy to drive crafts to spend a holiday on the water.
They have a kitchenette with a camp fridge, small gas stove and a scullery. A sliding door separates the two Cabins. In the fore cabin is a double bunk, as well as a bench that can be used as a bunk for a child. The table arrangement in the main cabin folds down to form the second double bunk. Please note that the bunks are not standard sizes (see diagram on the attachment below for measurements).
A very small separate compartment houses a hot water shower, wash hand basin and Porta Potty.
One double duvet / cover (or comforter), two double sheets, four pillows with pillowcases and two towels are provided in the front cabin.
Extra bedding and towels can be provided at an additional fee for the other bunks.
PLEASE NOTE: The boat is best suited for 2 persons, but it can accommodate 4 persons with Maximum a family of 5 (3 Adults and 2 children under 12).
A sliding door opens onto an outdoor cockpit area, which is ideal for fishing and the rooftop deck for tanning or bird watching.
The Breede River remains one of the most unspoiled holiday getaways in our country and is a must for anyone who enjoys the outdoors. Cruising limits is estimated at 40km.
The best way to describe the Houseboats is caravanning on water. Persons that enjoy fishing, bird watching or simply the outdoors love the boats. This cannot be compared to Canal boats in the UK or France where you can stop at shops and restaurants along the way. Malgas is a very remote destination - this is what attracts most people to this part of the Breede River.
