About this property

Self contained floating apartment

A perfect getaway! A combination of rest, relaxation, adventure, wilderness and luxury all within an hour from Brisbane.

Equipped with kayaks and Stand Up Paddleboards, Caloundra Houseboats takes you away from the city lights and into the heart of Pumicestone Passage, renowned worldwide for spectacular sunsets and birdlife.

The seven berth Wallamba is the perfect mother ship, a haven to revitalise with a sundowner on the top deck and a comfortable bed after spending the days kayaking, SUPing, fishing or bird watching.

Its a holiday for everyone, you can be as chilled or as active as you like. Spend all day on the boat, or go and explore the Bribie Island National Park on foot, or the Pumicestone Passage Marine Park by paddle.

And we take the stress out of houseboating. If you can't drive a boat, we can do it for you!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image

Caloundra Houseboats is owned by husband and wife, Ken and Julie. Ken is a qualified marine skipper, and drives a 72 person cruise boat when he's not showing guests how to operate the houseboat. Ken is a water baby - a very keen sea kayaker and only recently sold his jetski hire and safari business.

Why they chose this property

Ken and Julie established this business in 2022 because they saw demand for houseboats on the Ramsar listed Pumicestone Passage Marine Park. They purchased the Wallamba from New South Wales and had it trucked to Caloundra - they went to these extraordinary lengths because the Wallamba, or Wally, is a Coher 45 - a houseboat with a fantastic reputation for safety and comfort.
