I had a very nice stay at The Boathouse Lodge. The place was clean and my room was comfortable. There was a lot of parking available. I didn't meet the hosts, but they left a very detailed note about where my room was and about the continental breakfast of cereal and bread that I could help myself to in the kitchen. There were 2 fridges that you could put your food into and the kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need. This location was close to the ferry, which was very convenient.

Fresh choice is about a 6min walk and activities are also in walking proximity. Family friendly staff was really accommodating. I have booked for my return in a few weeks. Owner is hospitable and a big heart Thank you Nicci Fitzgerald for allowing me to use your gas stove at your other backpackers place much appreciated 😍
I came back from my outdoor activity and walked into the fire blaring with warmth. Just what I needed being out on the water for 6hours. Thanks Luke & Chris
