Book Houseboats

You’ve glammed it up at fancy resorts, crammed into holiday homes with your mates, and roughed it at some pretty interesting hostels over the years. But one thing you probably haven’t experienced is a houseboat holiday. A boat, you say? Yes! Imagine gently rocking to sleep each night to the sound of lapping water, then waking up to sip a peaceful coffee on your luxury houseboat while the world wakes up around you. Or, you can surprise your shipmates by waking them to the tantalising smells of a sizzling home-cooked brekkie.

When you score a houseboat hire, you stay in the heart of what makes a destination unique, yet you’re spared the madness of tourist crowds. From quiet holidays on local lakes or a unique twist on an overseas adventure, there are houseboat rentals to fit all sorts of holiday agendas. And the fancy factor is totally up to you—some boats are on the simple and cosy side, but others are seriously posh, complete with fully equipped kitchens, flat screen TVs, climate control, and swanky lounge areas.

Pick the right boat and you can cruise around if you’re up for playing captain—or choose one that’s permanently moored. And we’ve got even better news: Heaps of them are pet-friendly, making them an ideal choice for a chill family getaway with the whole brood. Whether you’re looking to escape city crowds, drive your kids mad with excitement, or simply impress your pals with awesome pics, you can float your fantasies without breaking the bank by hiring a sweet houseboat through Wotif.
