Reviews

“Eight of us old toppies arrived at The Boathouse in Gansbaai Harbour at midday. We were hot, thirsty and very hungry. What a place! The staff were fantastic, the beers cold and the service on point. We ate the freshest fish we have had anywhere in our travels.”  Alasdair McDonald

“I had a really lekker meal at The Boathouse with my wife. The vibe was great since we were sitting staring into the ocean, so that could also account for the great feeling we had while dining there.”  John Weber

“Absolutely love this place so much, we came for breakfast (ladies is big enough for a full-grown man) and dinner during our stay in Gansbaai. Their mussels starter is amazing. The fish and calamari combo with fresh veggies is delish and their platter for one is perfect for two ladies to share if they aren't too hungry. Their chips are the perfect balance between crunchy and slap. The staff is super attentive, helpful and their service is fast. I 100% recommend!”  Vicky Jankiewicz
