Genral Info

Moonraker is a lovely small Monohull houseboat, which is great for smaller and more intimate groups. It comprises of 3 decks being the Top, Middle and Bottom deck.

The bottom deck is where the 3 cabins are situated. There are 2 double cabins which sleep 2 guests in each room in a double bed and there is a twin cabin sleeping 2 guests in twin beds. All cabins are en-suite and are fully air conditioned.

The middle deck contains the wheelhouse, the fully equipped kitchen and a lounging area. The kitchen has a water filtration system which provides guests with an endless supply of fresh drinking water. The boat has 1 kitchen-fridge, 2 chest freezers, an ice maker, a drinks cooler and drinks cabinets on both top and middle decks, which allows for chilled refreshments any time of the day. The lounge has sliding windows and also has an air-conditioner. Moonraker is also fully carpeted providing guests with the utmost comfort wherever they go.

The top deck has a Jacuzzi pool, providing a 360-degree view of the lake at all times, and a dining room table which seats 6 people. There are 2-fold out beds, allowing guests to wake up to the stunning sounds of nature. The top deck also has a lovely coffee station and seating area facing the front of the boat to allow you to drink your coffee with some of the best seats on the boat. Moonraker also has a “Weber” braai for the guests’ use, but remember to then please bring your own briquettes and fire-lighters.
