“La houseboat si trova in una posizione stupenda nella laguna di knysna e offre una visione a 360 gradi con un panorama che cambia continuamente in base alla marea. Abbiamo ammirato i colori dell'alba, del tramonto e siamo rimasti incantati”

Houseboat Myrtle is a totally self-contained wooden cottage on the water. Permanently Anchored in the Knysna Lagoon, it’s a two minute dinghy ride from the Knysna Waterfront and we’ll give you lessons to get you going on the water. Myrtle is one of the original Knysna houseboats and has a lovely wood finish inside. With its two decks, it’s perfect for lazy days floating on the lagoon. From the deck you can enjoy views of the lagoon, the quays and the Knysna Heads, catch fish or just relax...
I am available if you need help with anything onboard.
