Yes! All you need is a valid drivers licence, and be a responsible person over the age of 18 years of age. The staff at houseboat holidays will give you all the instructions you need about the vessels, their handling, mooring and the geography of the inlet. The familiarisation session should take about an hour. Then you will be all set to enjoy your on-water holiday experience.
No, there is no requirement to have a skippers ticket. However, having one is an advantage. It will reduce the amount of instruction time and you will already be familiar with some boat handling skills. The Department of Transport has reviewed our houseboat operations and audits our processes on a regular basis to ensure boating safety on the water is maintained without the need for our customers to have a skippers ticket.
We have ample parking for cars, caravans and trailers at our houseboat jetty on private property. Rob and Louise live on site to keep an eye on everything.
Yes, our houseboat holiday power supply is suited to run your sleep apnea machine. Our pure sine wave inverter was especially chosen and purchased with such devices as yours in mind.
No. The houseboats are well insulated and we provide heating on board in the winter months to keep you warm and cosy.
Yes, each dinghy comes with a 15hp 2stroke motor with tiller arm control. There will be two 20litre dinghy tanks on-board at your holiday commencement and more available if/when required.
Yes, absolutely. The Walpole Nornalup Marine Park is designated as a Recreational park and has no sanctuary areas. This means you can fish the whole inlet system without any geographic restrictions. You do need to be aware that if you are fishing from the houseboat or the dinghy at least one member of the party needs to have a recreational boat fishing license from the Department of Fisheries.
Sorry, because you are entering a National Park / Wilderness Area and Marine Park, we can't allow pets on the houseboats.
