Colchester Accommodation / Sundays Riviera Houseboats Colchester Accommodation / Self Catering Holiday Houseboats in Greater Addo

House boating on the Maggie May is a unique way to enjoy the natural beauty and peaceful surroundings of the malaria free Sundays River, located 20 minutes from Port Elizabeth and only 5km from the south entrance to the Addo Elephant National Park.

The Maggie May Houseboat offers luxurious accommodation for up to 6 guests. The guests will cruise on the Sundays River to the river mouth to enjoy the breathtaking views. They will then have the opportunity to spend some time on the sand dunes either by taking a gentle stroll or for the more adventurous whizzing down on a sand board. The Maggie May will then cruise upriver through the tranquil surroundings to the secluded boma nestling in the bushveld.

Relax on the comfortable leather seating or laze on the top deck on a sun bed as our experienced skipper cruises to the river mouth and stunning sand dunes or have a sun downer whilst cruising upriver to the secluded boma area. The exterior is clad in wood with a thatched roof and vast decked area. The upper level offers a seated area and sunbeds.

The Sundays River


The Sundays River with its diverse variety of birdlife, vast fish species and beautiful sand dunes truly is unspoilt South African nature at its best. Situated only 10 minutes from the southern entrance to the Addo Elephant National Park - the only park in the world conserving the Big 7, the Sundays River area is an undiscovered gem.
