Thanks to Blackwood River Houseboats for a fantastic weekend. We hired ‘Storm’. It was great! Very comfortable, the bedding was warm and cosy. The kitchen was well appointed. Hot shower and flushing toilet! James set us up for success with a driving tutorial and clear written instructions. Highly recommend.

Stayed on Allira for a few nights. Was great, such a beautiful place, very peaceful. The boat was good and we made good use of the kayaks as paddleboards. Plenty of fish to catch also. We had one little technical issue with the boat and they raced up and fixed it immediately. Would definitely recommend.

What an amazing 3 nights in January on the Blackwood River. Perfect weather, spectacular scenery and the best company! What a treat. Our boat River was just right, she is the perfect size for a young family of four and so easy to operate. We will return next year to catch another 40cm bumping bream! Thank you James and Pam.
