Why should I hire a Houseboat?
Houseboats allow couples and families the freedom to explore waterways and regions not normally available to the the average person. On a houseboat you can do as little or as much as you like - you can fish, swim, undertake walks or you may just sit back and relax in a private and secluded waterway.
What type of Houseboat suit me?
This obviously depends on the numbers of people travelling in your party - you may choose from a variety of vessels that cater for a couple wanting to escape right up to houseboats that will accommodate a large number of family and friends.
