What a beautiful oasis. We didn’t want to leave! I was inclined to not post a review so we could keep it a secret . From the moment we stepped into this beautiful boathouse we were mesmerised. You feel you have been transported to another world.It’s a perfect spot to find some quiet, calm relaxation. Watch the eagles, pelicans and cormorants fishing, schools of fish gliding past and boats bobbing around.Di and David have thought of everything and if you bring enough food for your whole stay, you simply don’t need to leave!- The kitchen is perfectly appointed. (Some tasty extras are provided.)- The BarBQ is on mains gas, so no fussing with bottles is needed.- The bed was very comfortable.- The deck is large with an electronic awning that means you can be outside in any weather.- The inclinator makes light work of the descent so only one or two steps are to be navigated.- The deep water jetty means you can catch a water taxi at any tide. Many thanks for a beautiful weekend away from the hustle of the city Di. We loved our stay and look forward to returning.
