Creek boathouse

Lovely spot on a creek. Mid-century houseboat in great condition, kitted out in all that we needed for the weekend. Easy to contact hosts who went out of their way to help.

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one shower, the beds were awful i ended up sleeping on the tiny futon and the deck could use a tune up, pricey for the outdated decor and furniture.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

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Renmark hidden gem

What a hidden little gem! 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!
