absolutely private hidden heaven

Me and my wife had an unforgettable amazing experience in this boathouse. Whatever here is beyond our expectations. Words can’t justified the feelings we’ve enjoyed for those days and nights. A place you would not wanna leave......

The Boathouse on the water 10 out of 10

We have just spent 5 amazing days at The Boathouse. Ian and Maria were fantastic hosts and did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable. The Boathouse is spotless, bed is comfortable, and has everything you need for your stay. The view is incredible and you can fish, swim, prawn, and go boating from your own private jetty. Enjoy your breakfast while watching an incredible sunrise. We will certainly be back to enjoy this amazing find.

The perfect escape

The idea of living in a self contained boathouse with its own jetty, garden and where we could take our dogs was too good to be true. But it was true and even better. Our hosts Maria and Ian were very helpful, friendly and generous. The boat house really had everything in it we wanted. Bringing our own food and wine we could live in style looking out across Erowal Bay from sunrise to sunset. The mob of kangaroos was great company and very approachable. We will certainly make the 10 hour drive again from Melbourne to spend a few more days in this idyllic location

Comfortable Private Waterfront

The property is a very private waterfront cottage with all required amenities. Great location and host was very hospitable. Kangaroos on dawn & dust and the sound of the water lapping at your doorstep. Great location to explore the local area - highly recommended.

A perfect getaway for some much needed rest and recovery!

Friendly, welcoming hosts, a great location "away from the hustle & bustle" but with everything you could want conveniently located nearby. Plenty of interesting places to explore as well. The boathouse is the very definition of relaxation. My partner, myself and our little fur baby, all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning again as soon as possible.

A Slice of Paradise – Highly Recommend!

Our stay at the waterfront beach shed was absolutely magical! Waking up to the sound of waves and watching kangaroos grazing nearby was an unforgettable experience. The peaceful ambiance, combined with stunning views and the charm of fishing ducks gliding across the water, made it feel like a dream come true.The hosts went above and beyond to make our stay perfect—thoughtful, welcoming, and accommodating in every way. Whether it was providing great local tips or ensuring we had everything we needed, their warmth truly made this getaway special.If you’re looking for a unique, serene escape surrounded by natural beauty, this is it. We can’t wait to return!

Bliss by the Bay!

We had such a peaceful and refreshing time staying at the boathouse in Erowal Bay. Stunning outlook, great facilities, very comfortable bed. There are lots of things to do nearby but I was pretty tempted to just stay out enjoying the views and relaxation. Maria and Ian made our stay easy and we hope to visit again.

Boathouse on the water

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at the private boathouse. The sunsets were incredible and very comfortable amenities, everything you need for a romantic getaway. We had visits from the local wildlife which was very special, especially the friendly kangaroo. Our Hosts Ian and Maria were lovely and very welcoming.

Serenity

From the minute we walked into this gorgeous little boat house was a dream. It was heaven on water. I’m making memories with my elderly mother and this memory has hit the top of our bucket list thus far. It’s going to have to be a castle staycation to top this beautiful little boat house. Down to the stunning decor and the cutest out door toilet keeping that traditional touch. The jetty was my highlight straight off the front porch without a step or touching sand. My puppy loved it and was secure with the fenced area. The kangaroos roaming free were also a big hit for me.

A Slice of Heaven

If you’re after a quaint & picturesque little escape, set in its natural surrounds and willing to co-habitat with the local wildlife (kangaroos, kookaburras, ducks and rabbits) then this place is for you, kick back and relax with a wine or two and watch the sunset on your own private jetty. This place has everything and more and the hosts Maria & Ian are a delight. Pack the Weetbix to feed the kangaroos, it’s a must. Definitely will be back here for sure, real soon.
