About this accommodation

A Houseboat holiday combines such excellent elements – the luxury of a private crew to tend to your needs: The exclusivity of a vessel all your own, The joy of having wildlife come to the comfort of your floating home: The thrill of landing the big fish; And then the awe-inspiring sunsets and pure magic of a full moon rising over the water. This 65-foot yacht comes with a Jacuzzi, a bar, sunbathing deck, a lounge with a television, and a library, and each room has an ensuite bathroom wi
