Thoroughly enjoyed our honeymoon on the boat storm, everything we needed was available for us all we had to do was bring our own food, drinks, clothes and fishing gear. Was definitely the relaxing time we had hoped. While we weren’t fishing we made use of the kayaks provided. Will definitely be booking again soon to enjoy with our kids!!

What a wonderful experience. We felt we were the only ones on the River. We all felt really comfortable on Houseboat River. We had the pleasure of seeing a couple of dolphins feeding. It did not even feel like we were on the river it was so calm. The sunsets were amazing. House Boat River definitely needs a make over though. We will be back.

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.
