The location of the houseboat was fantastic. Next to no people, quiet, peaceful and so relaxing. The owners were lovely and had fantastic communication and came to drop off an extension cord for us. Will definitely be back! ##### Venessa N. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Riana 8 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication It is quiet and secluded, with loads of room outside for the dogs to roam. The hosts were quick to respond and very helpful and accommodating to any requests. Beds were comfortable, shower was good and the place was well equipped. The downside for me was the property was advertised to have a hot tub, yet there was none. This was a selling point, so very disappointed that it was not there, neither does it have a spa bath. ##### Riana Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alix b. 26 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely but could be cheaper The place was set in a lovely spot with lovely views and there were possums, emus and birdlife everywhere. Very peaceful. The houseboat itself was very clean but i had a few issues with - the hot water running out after one shower, the beds were awful i ended up sleeping on the tiny futon and the deck could use a tune up, pricey for the outdated decor and furniture. Other than that with great company and beautiful views and serenity, it was lovely ##### Alix b.
