Comfortable Private Waterfront

The property is a very private waterfront cottage with all required amenities. Great location and host was very hospitable. Kangaroos on dawn & dust and the sound of the water lapping at your doorstep. Great location to explore the local area - highly recommended.

Tranquil hideaway

Cosy boathouse with a lovely view, very friendly hosts. Highlights for us were the kangaroos and that amazing comfy bed only thing missing was an oven and maybe a toilet inside but apart from that a perfect getaway. We will definitely stay again.

A beautiful getaway location

Maria and Ian's property was even more beautiful than the photos posted on their page. We had such a wonderful time relaxing in this serene and picturesque little hamlet.

Picturesque and Serene Setting and Accommodation

We had an incredible few days at the boathouse. Delightful wildlife, including, Kangaroos. The hosts were lovely; the accommodation was stylish, with a scenic view no matter the weather. A Long Jetty, perfect for sunsets and water activities in St.Georges Basin. Very close to Hyams beach, with popular towns such as Huskisson very accessible. Highly recommend.

A little piece of paradise

We had the most wonderful stay at the Boathouse! The position and aspect are just perfect. Top this off with well thought out design, especially of the deck and jetty. It gave us the permission we needed to simply stop and contemplate the beauty of the bay, the sounds of the birds and the companionable presence of the kangaroos. Maria and Ian were great hosts; communicating well and extending great welcome and care that went above and beyond. The perfect wedding anniversary stay. I would recommend this little piece of paradise to anyone!

A Wonderful Get Away Boathouse

It was our 21st anniversary and the get away trip to this boathouse was just perfect ! The place was super clean with fully equipped kitchen. The view was just stunning. We get to experienced the moon, the sun and the rain all in this boathouse. Above all, Maria & Ian's hospitality were one of the best we have ever asked for both here in Australia and overseas. Thank you Maria & Ian for such a memorable weekend. We'll definitely come back to swim in the lake !

The best mini break ever!

We absolutely LOVED staying at the Boathouse. Wow! what a location. Incredible! It feels like you are literally floating on the water. The surrounding landscape is beautiful with stunning sunsets witnessed from the deck. The Boathouse is so well equipped with everything and lots of extra thoughtful touches. And the bed was super comfy. Ian and Maria were so friendly and such hospitable hosts, going out of their way to make us feel welcome and relaxed, and giving us lots of local tips. Ian gifted us with a tray of fresh oysters and prawns - such a treat! And I really enjoyed a creative session with Maria in her studio. We highly recommend the Boathouse for a romantic restorative break and will be back again to explore the natural beauty of this area.

Just what we needed and more

My husband and I stayed in the boat house with our Blue Heeler for a week. Rain or shine the location is stunning. Views of the hills in the distance, clear clean water, and beautiful sunsets. The view across the bay will be imprinted in my soul forever. The boat house is very comfortable and relaxing, and impeccably clean. So bright and fresh. Our hosts Ian and Maria were amazing. Approachable, friendly and more than willing to go the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Ian was very helpful, with great tips on eating out and sightseeing. They even let us use their kayaks. This holiday was very important to us and did not disappoint. In fact it was far beyond my expectations for a relaxing stress free and memorable holiday. I have nothing negative to say about this property. We look forward to returning next year. Thank you Ian and Maria. It’s a holiday I will never forget.

good over all

We had miserable weather so going to the outdoor toilet was a mission and walking down the house in the dark and wet grass was not pleasant at all. My partner rolled her ankle on the way down on the slippery grass.

A House Boat without the rocking.

Loved our stay at the Boathouse. Beautiful tranquil spot, right on the water. Looking out from the lounge area you would think you are on a boat.The interior layout is perfect for a couple and well appointed, with everything you need for your stay.Sit back and relax, watching the water, and the black swans cruising by, while the Kangeroos sit off to your side.Thanks Maria and Ian for being great hosts.

A perfect getaway for some much needed rest and recovery!

Friendly, welcoming hosts, a great location "away from the hustle & bustle" but with everything you could want conveniently located nearby. Plenty of interesting places to explore as well. The boathouse is the very definition of relaxation. My partner, myself and our little fur baby, all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning again as soon as possible.
