Guest Reviews
“The Boat House is comfortable and spotlessly clean. Everything you could possibly need for a few days away. Gail and Rory were warm and welcoming and had some fantastic recommendations to make the most of our stay. Breakfast was healthy and sufficient, loved the addition of the nuts and fruit for the granola, great coffee to set you up for the day. We loved kayaking around the harbour. The views are breathtaking and we wish we had a few more days. The Boathouse is a very tranquil place and quite the hidden gem.”
“Great location right on the water. Fantastic full moon and the sounds of the lapping water made it so relaxing.”
“So much more than expected. Bright and spacious room with a brilliant view. Everything in the room was lovely, fresh and clean. Not to mention our host Gail was an absolute gem.”
“Amazing 2 days. Gail was a fabulous host and her son Rory hired us kayaks to see the seals. Immaculate with the most amazing location. Facilities are fabulous.”
