Unfortunately if you are having a wedding, only thing good is the location. You will be priced a dream wedding, but thats what it remains a dream. If you using this place,take note of the following if you are using inside venue: if your guests are vegetarian make sure they are served vegetarian and not meat starters. The deco you ordered is what they use, the draping on the walls are clean and not torn, they do not vacuum carpets but sweep, so make sure the tables are clean, glasses are washed not wiped clean. The rooms: if dressing, make sure aircon is working, lighting is not the best, so be prepared.

I attended a wedding on the 20/3/22. The venue outside was very suitable especially now with Covid 19. Lots of sea breeze. However the the sheets were inadequate to block the sun of as it was a hot day and the sun posed a problem. Guest were moving around to get shade. I suggest that management use extra sheets of a contrasting colour to assist in making the venue shadier. The other problem was the stage. It is on a raised platform . The platforms make two large stairs. It is difficult especially for the aged and women to get on stage. A few smaller steps should be added.

Other than this it's a good venue. The indoor restaurant is excellent with nice decor.
The setting overlooking the Indian Ocean is unbeatable.

Parking is limited. At the time of my arrival parking was full and to add to the problem boats were landing and had to be towed out. I had to park 600m up the road on the pavement. Many guests had the same problem.

The Boat House is a beautiful venue and very well located. The rooms are pleasant however attention to detail is lacking. For example, in our room there was a lamp shade that was not plugged in and there was no plug close by to connect. The globes in the light fittings were not working and we had to request for them to be replaced. One of the side tables sits at an angle. Very frustrating was the noise of the tractors outside the window that leave at 4am for their fishing expeditions and their parties going onto the early hours of the morning. Very disappointing especially when paying R2200.00 per room per night

The rooms are very nice and all that but we had an bad experience with all the rest. Functions were held everyday so it was uncomfortable to use the pool. Dont get me started on parking that is an issue with the function. With the people attending the functions is sounded like there was a party in front of our door 01:30 am we barely slept for 3 days upon departure we laid a complaint and was told someone will contact us... three days later still no call

I had my wedding here. On the day we find out there are 2 other weddings happening at the same time adjacent to us. There is no parking even though we were told there would be. My husband was not allowed in and had to park on the road. While eating dinner my husband and I are told to pay for the canopy and cake stand; as if we were going to leave without paying. We paid R1000 more for extra flowers to be hung on the stage. Apparently R1000 buy you 15 cm of flowers. What a dissapointing day for us.

Had my wedding there in May after a 2 year wait due to covid.

The venue was gorgeous and food was delicious however the service was terrible.
