Watershed is a luxury floating eco home that is so beautiful, so unique, words can barely convey how special it is. We had a beautiful short stay with wonderfully warm, charming and welcoming hosts, Jenny + Kevin who make every step of this experience, so effortless. Firstly, if you want a self driven houseboat that a thousand and one people have stayed on, this experience is not for you. This is a unique luxury home with its own skipper, an incredible anchorage location and breath-taking views from every room. You have the choice of just getting dropped at the boat and floating around at the amazing secluded anchorage like any holiday home or getting active and exploring the Hawkesbury, at very reasonable additional costs with Jenny and Kevin taking care of everything with the boat, so you can eat, drink, entertain or relax. The boat itself is absolutely one a kind. We loved the solar powered eco / sustainable element of it too. Folding french doors open to create indoor/outdoor living in both the kitchen and the lounge room. The huge gourmet kitchen and deck bbq is fabulous for cooking up a storm and entertaining [everything but a dishwasher, oven and microwave but you don’t need any of it]. The fly bridge on level two is so beautiful for relaxing, sunset drinks and taking in complete 360 views. The three cabins downstairs are snug but spacious and so comfortable to sleep in, with clever storage spaces for holding all your items and of course, a magical porthole in each room, looking out onto the the water. The two bathrooms are excellent and a quick shower with beautiful views whilst floating around is really special. We had Jenny + Kevin take us for a day cruise on the Saturday and it was one of the most beautiful, immersive experiences we’ve ever had. We explored bays, coves, aboriginal art and historical sites along The Hawkesbury that we never knew existed. We also had excellent weather for April and we were taken to a stunning location to swim off the boat which was beyond incredible to float amongst aboriginal art. On cruise days, Jenny + Kevin will tell you they can chat and mingle or just leave you to do your own thing during the charter. As a group, we embraced every moment we had with them and it felt like they became part of the extended family for the day. We loved their stories of boating and their amazing life on the Hawkesbury. They are truly lovely, fun and fascinating people who we loved having with us our entire stay. They really are a big part of the watershed experience and I encourage you to connect with them where you can to make the most of your time! During the cruise, Jenny also quietly tends to glassware and dishes, and general organising and allows you to fully relax. That alone, is absolute heaven for anyone who lives a busy life. So many special touches onboard also to mention but beautiful bottle brush natives on the main table as a centrepiece when you arrive. Fresh folded towels and throw rugs in the lounging cabin. Gorgeous stemless glasses for wine and bubbles. Honestly, this is one of the best and most unique accommodation experiences I’ve had in this country. The Hawkesbury and Watershed took our breath away in every sense! If you get a chance to experience this, pack light, plan a few great dishes to cook, bring a a few bottles of good vino and just enjoy every minute of unwinding inside this unique, luxe eco home on the water! Thank you so much guys for the most phenomenal stay. We will be back!
