Everything was fabulous for our stay. From super comfortable beds, to a gorgeous well equipped kitchen, to perfect parking “The Boathouse”had it all. So pleased we found such a lovely place for our family to relax together.
Beautiful home with plenty of space for big families. Host has thought about everything a guest could need. Kids loved all the games and I enjoyed cooking in the well stocked kitchen. Would definitely stay again!
Place was exactly as described. Lots of space, great courtyard area, clean, super well organised, and very well set up.Close to shops and waterfront, a lovely area to walk around as well.Booking and communication was very easy. We had a fantastic, relaxing stay.

The Boathouse was fantastic for our group. The layout of the house is very functional and it was spotless and well presented. The kitchen has ample utensils etc and the complimentary quality teas, coffee pods, biscuits, soft drinks and bottle of sparkling wine were a lovely touch and much appreciated. Jodie kept us informed and the arrival and entry instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Highly recommended and hope to stay again.
The location of the house is very convenient to the shops, beach, parks. And all the rooms are neat and tidy. Could potentially add more cooking bowls in kitchen. Convenient for parking. Very good stay and kids had fun
Stylish and comfy, this house has everything we need. Generous 4 bedrooms and washroom options give us good space and privacy. We enjoyed our stay here and would love to come back again.

A beautiful house with everything you needed for a getaway. Well stocked kitchen, amazing linen, plenty of room including the outdoor area. Fantastic proximity to shops.
Beautiful accommodation and well setup, couldn’t want for anything more. Close to shops, marina and beach. The property was so homely and very comfortable. EXCEPTIONAL
We absolutely loved our stay here! The house was beautiful—stylishly designed, cozy, and incredibly clean. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into maintaining it. The location was perfect, close to everything we needed but still peaceful and relaxing. It truly felt like a home away from home. We would 100% stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable stay. Can’t wait to come back!
