About this property

ACCOMMODATION ONLY. Location - Mandurah Quay Resort and Boundry Island Brewery.

Reconnect with nature and take a break aboard my private houseboat. See Dolphins, Pelicans, Swans, literally at the door. Take a relaxing walk along the wetlands trail or have a meal and some drinks at the Boundry Island Brewery, its just metres away & directly in front of my houseboat.
Or maybe have a couple of quiet drinks on the rooftop deck. Watch the TV, listen to your favorite music on the Bluetooth speaker, take a dip in the estuary, do a spot of fishing or crabbing or just sit on the beach, read a book and take in the beautiful scenery. There's literally something for everyone.
However if you would like to hire a houseboat to drive, Mandurah Houseboat Hire rates start from $590 per day, minimum of 3 days. Total cost $1,770

Great spot and novel, fun idea. Given the brewery is so close, some people may not love the lack of curtains in the common area but windows are a little tinted so not a big deal overall. It’s an houseboat so things as you’d expect for overall - All the things you’d really need. Easy check in and out - communication great. Was fun.

To be honest the floor was soaking wet through our the stay, maybe leave the mop inside. The mattress needs to be a mattress not foam inserts I'm sure they would fit and make a much better experience.

The houseboat was moored at a idilic moor next to a brewery and restaurant (with amazing food). It was well equipped and ready to go. Not a 5 star hotel but great for a relaxing weekend getaway. Would recommend

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.

A Truly Unforgettable Houseboat Experience – Perfect for Families!

From the moment we stepped onto Peter’s houseboat, we knew we were in for something special. This wasn’t just a place to stay—it was an experience in itself, and one we’ll be talking about for years to come.The houseboat is incredibly well-appointed, with two separate bedrooms, a comfortable loungeroom, a hot shower, a fully equipped kitchenette (stovetop, fridge, and all the essentials), a TV, and even a spacious sundeck perfect for soaking in the peaceful surroundings. It was the perfect blend of comfort and adventure.What really sets this stay apart, though, is how incredibly family-friendl

It was a great setting in the harbour watching the sun rise and set and with lots of wildlife to see. The boat would benefit from curtains or blinds for privacy and netting over the windows to keep the mosquitoes out. The shower cubicle was broken, but otherwise it was all in reasonable condition. Overall ok

About the host

Host profile image
Originally from Manchester in the UK. I'm a retired motor mechanic (old school) and have lived my entire life, from 1970 onward, living and working in beautiful W.A.

Why they chose this property

I live a short distance from the Mandurah Quay Resort and so chose to Moore my houseboat at their marina. There is so much to do and enjoy mainly involving the water, surfing fishing swimming crabbing or just taking in the views and enjoying the lifestyle. Not to mention the brewery with their amazing brews and food.

What makes this property unique

The experience of just living aboard a houseboat for a few days. Its unique.
