Noah's Raft - House Boat

A Stay Unlike Any Other.

This is a boat, not to be compared with any of the other cabins you've stayed at before.

This floating houseboat was created slowly and intentionally, shaped by the rhythm of the water and designed to offer something truly different.

Now, it’s a private escape unlike anything else.

Wake up surrounded by water, with soft morning light spilling through every window.
Slide them open and let the outside in — fresh ocean air, distant waves, and a stillness that feels almost unreal.

Birdlife becomes part of your day.

It’s peaceful. It’s romantic. It’s completely private.
And it’s unlike anything you’ve experienced before.

1. The Experience

This is not your typical cabin — it’s a floating, off-grid houseboat set on a quiet, private vlei.
Think:
water in every direction
no neighbours, no noise
slow, simple living
total privacy

If you’re looking for something unique, a little adventurous, and deeply calming — this is it.



2. Before You Book (Important) ⚠️
Like mentioned, this is not your typical cabin, so to make sure this is the right fit for you, here are a few key things to know:

🚤 Getting There -
You’ll drive a small boat (±200–300m distance) to reach the houseboat.
No license needed, but you must feel comfortable doing this.
In wind or rain, you may get wet.
Night arrivals mean navigating in the dark.
Worst case scenario we might be able to assist you with this regard, but will be subject to availability of our team members.

The houseboat is anchored but not fixed.
It moves gently with the water. Not motorized.

🔌Off-Grid Living, Powered by solar energy.
Electricity is limited (especially at night or on cloudy days).
High-energy appliances need to be used mindfully.

💧 Water
Water is filtered directly from the vlei.
Clean, but not suitable for drinking or cooking (slightly salty).
Fresh drinking water is provided.

🧳Packing
Access is via small boat → pack light.
Most essentials are provided to make this easy. More luggage might mean 2 or 3 trips with the small boat to reach the House Boat.

Wine & drinks
Braai packs
