Setting The Boathouse getaway is perfect for families or friends wanting to break away from the city noise to experience the old charm of the West Coast. It is situated in a very quiet street on a large corner plot. The house consists of two levels: Living area on the ground level and loft area being the bedrooms. The house is one house away from the Berg River with quick and easy access to the river. A security gate at the back of the house is available to easily access the river. The property is fully secured with an alarm system and outside beams that can also be activated when sleeping at night. Outside area The property is fully walled and secured from the outside giving you absolute privacy and open space. Most of the sand outside is covered with gravel or nets. A huge, enclosed braai boma area is available. There is also a cemented court for sporting activities. A large Eucalyptus tree provides shade and attract the rich bird life of the area. A small bathroom with toilet and washbasin outside is convenient to use as second bathroom when outside. Living area The ground level is a beautifully decorated open plan area. It consists of a lounge area where 8 people can comfortably be seated, kitchen area and large dining room table where 10 people can sit. The bathroom is also on this level with a toilet, washbasin, and shower. This area opens to the outside with two large sliding doors. Sleeping area Following the stairs to the loft area. The roof is low, so you will get the experience of being in a boat. For that reason, we called this The Boathouse, so be aware to bump your head. You will enter a room with two single beds. A wall separates this area from the rest of the loft. On the other side of the wall there are two single beds as well as a double bed. A divider provides privacy to the double room area in the loft. It should be noted that the sleeping areas are not separated but linked to each other meaning you need to go through the bedrooms to go downstairs. Kitchen area Most of the utilities you would use at home are available. The workspaces are more than sufficient. Utilities worth mentioning is a SolarDOM microwave (also used for convection, grilling, steaming, and defrosting), dishwasher, washing machine, two plate stove, kettle, bread roaster and sandwich maker. There are two fridges of which one can be used as fridge, chiller, or freezer. DSTV - On prior arrangement full DSTV premium access can be arranged. Braai inside or outside A huge indoor braai/fireplace is available in the living area, or you can use the enclosed boma braai area. An outside bathroom is available with wash basin and toilet.
