Houseboat. Accommodation only. Location - MQR and Boundry Island Brewery.
8.4 out of 10, Very good, (7)
"Great for a night stay or two, different from the norm. Very quiet and peaceful, the top deck was awesome providing a great view of the morning and even sunrise and sunset. What would have made a nicer stay, some fly/mosquito screens on the doors and windows also curtains in the main area for privacy and blocking out the night security lighting. Overall good experience and would stay there again. "

Highly recommend this boat for a holiday that is so relaxing. Host is lovely and supplies all the information you need for this wonderful getaway."

"We absolutely loved our stay over the Easter long weekend. Communication between the owners was amazing. When we needed anything or had any questions we got prompt response each time. The location of the houseboat is stunning. Such a beautiful spot. So much bird life around and stunning sunsets to watch. The houseboat itself is lovely.
