    Wow. That's all I can say. We didn't want to go up river, we decided to stay at the jetty. But it was such an amazing experience everyone has to try it. The staff there are totally amazing. Thank you Romel and Deirdre for the most amazing experience. Thank you for spoiling us. We will be doing it again.

    It was exceptionally hot, and there was only small windows to open. So the heat was a bit difficult to handle. An aircon would have made the worlds difference.

    We loved being alone, in nature and having the kayak as transport. We loved sleeping on the water and having an adventure with the family. The walking trail closeby, and the little beach was a great outing. The hosts were exceptionally friendly, helpfull and FUN! The nice bottle of wine and bluetooth speaker was a great plus.

    Nothing - not to like - everything was perfect from the 1st to the last second.

    It was quiet - clean and comfortable- the Hosts Deidre and her fiancé are focused on a personal service to the guests and will bed over backwards to accommodate you where ever it is within their power to do so. Lovely vibe at the Tikibar and beach if you don’t want to stay on the boat the whole day - lots to do - the best sleep I had in ages. Well done guys - we will definitely be seeing you soon. Brilliant brilliant amazing experience.

    I would suggest a rail around the shower for a bit more security :) Thats about it!

    We literally switched off from the rat race of the city and were in sync with nature and the peaceful ambience on the boat and surrounds. We are extremely thankful for the beautiful experience.

    We loved every minute of our Baby Blue weekend- unique, relaxing and special. We were so comfortable on the boat and spent many happy hours soaking up the sunshine and saturating our senses in the beauty and tranquility of river paradise. Welcome cocktails and food at the Riverside were delicious, as were the wine and snacks that we were spoilt with by our lovely hosts. We will definitely plan another Baby Blue adventure and stay for a little bit longer next time.

    Well, where do I begin. On arrival at 'The Riverside Water Sports Bar', we were met by our hosts, Romel and Deidre, the most welcoming couple. We were treated like royalty, with service beyond our expectations. Baby Blue was ready, and we all went aboard. What a great surprise awaited us! The little houseboat is adorable. The décor and ambience were out of a fairy tale. Professionalism and responsibility flowed naturally, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment of our stay. The Baby Blue Houseboat is well fitted out, and we couldn’t have asked for a more romantic setting. Our hosts were only a phone call away if we needed anything. Giving us peace of mind and adding to the 'just chill out' factor. Our stay on 'Baby Blue' will be at the top of the list of places to be recommended by us to our friends. Romel and Deidre, what amazing people! What an amazing experience! Baby Blue is just so special; beyond all our expectations, she will steal your heart away. 10 out of 10 ;) Well done to you all.

    The whole experience was just amazing, from the warm and kind welcome by the owners to boarding the little boat to experience an evening under the stars in your own private little boat. The boat itself is comfortable and very clean., the bed is excellent.

    Quaint, clean, ultra friendly owners. We loved our stay, it was a magical experience.
