We had a wonderful experience with the house-boat. We must agree with everyone that the beds are super nice.
Maureen is a very nice host, she waited for us until 2pm, eventhough we couldn't meet her due to our late arrival, she helped us to prepare a couple of refreshing drinks in the fridge, a personal handwriting welcome note that is very pleasant to read. Overall, we enjoyed the stay very much from duck feeding, jump to the lake and had a wonderful bbq on our first evening.
Most of the must do water activities are 5-10 minutes walking from the boat.
Count down supermarket is up the road only 5 mins on foot.
Heaps of restaurants along ferres rd with a spectacular view of the lake. You can reach Ferry rd at the end of Redoubt st 5mins on foot.
