Getting hitched in SA


Do you take South Africa to be your wedding destination? "I do!"
The Big Five, golf and Table Mountain. These are some of the reasons people visit our rainbow nation in their droves. I discovered that despite our rather hefty amount of world-class golf courses we boast more wine farms and generate more revenue through wedding tourism than the desire to hit-a-hole-in-one type holiday. Sorry Ernie.
After most wine farms' primary concern, that being the production of wine (fancy that!), there's weddings.

Lightley’s Holiday Houseboats – Knysna

CAPTAIN OF YOUR OWN HOLIDAY    LIVE THE DREAM ... aboard fully equipped, 4- or 6-berth self-drive houseboats.


They will show you how to pilot your craft and make you Captain Of Your Own Holiday - catered or self-catered, you’ll be free to explore the safe, tranquil waters of Knysna’s Lagoon.   For holiday-makers, house boating is your accommodation - and it’s your entertainment; for honeymooners, it’s romance; and for business people, it’s an unusual conference and team building opportunity.  


The 6-berth, aluminium-hulled Aqua-chalets and newly-built, 4-berth, GRP Leisure Liners come complete with bedding, galleys (with fridges and gas stoves), ‘heads’ (shower rooms with chemical toilets) and portable barbecues. And the shore facility offers spacious ablution blocks and an indoor/outdoor conference and functions venue. 


 With Lightleys Holiday Houseboats you’ll enjoy all the pleasures of boating, and you’ll have the ideal base from which to discover the Garden Route. No experience or skipper’s license required.


What’s on board? Each boat is equipped with gas stove, two burner hob, 12 volt electric fridge, hot and cold water shower, porta potty chemical toilet, CD player and 12 volt electric lights plus cutlery, bedding and kitchen utensils. All the boats have a charcoal barbeque on board for the one that did not getaway. The new design Leisure Liners are equipped with swimming platforms at the back, a targa wing with collapsible sun awning.
