I have just returned from a night on one of The Lightleys Houseboats on the Knysna Lagoon. I took my two son's aged 14 and 10. We had great weather even though it was the middle of winter.

In July 2011 we embarked on our very first boating experience... two nights on a Lighteys Houseboat on Knysna Lagoon. The check in and training procedure was super quick and easy, I had been concerned that we might loose a portion of our precious holiday to some kind of scaled down skipper's course but the very trusting staff and extremely...

We rented a Aqua Chalet and Leisure Liner for ourselves and my parents. It was fun to have family with us and spend long evenings on the deck of the Aqua Chalet. We had stong wind the last night and it felt like we were on the sea. Fortunately we were advised to tie up to a mooring boy, so... More

Thanks Lightleys we had an amazing 3 days on the sky dancer. It was really great just being in touch with nature, no tv and appliances just relaxing and enjoyable. Loved it, Will definately be back! Brad and Candy More

The staff were amazingly helpful and friendly, even when asked obvious questions. The surrounding scenery was fantastic. It was quiet, romantic... everything we wanted. With only the waterbirds for neighbours, could do as we felt like. Daily services at the main jetty cleaned our boat and prepared us for yet another day of pure bliss. More

We loved it, amazing happy fun filled memories with our girls. Thank you to Lightley's for brilliant service. Names fail me right now, but... More

What an amazing trip! The staff were very helpfull and friendly. Our houseboat was very clean, had a very comfortable bed, had a stove, fridge and even a car CD player. The best part was eating dinner on the roof of the boat!!! I would recommend 2 nights as you can then do Thesen island as well. I would also... More

Had an excellent time with a boat for 4 people - only myself & brother, so more space than a family of four would have - i think would be a little cramped for 4. Boat in good condition, small but functional kitchen. Portable toilet a little basic, and would have been good to be able to really shower on... More
