Prices – Hawkesbury River Houseboat – We have a clear and easy pricing structure with great value. There are no loadings on special holidays or school holidays as we believe every day on the Hawkesbury is a gift! We always wanted to be able to go on holidays with our children without having to pay a premium (an arm or a leg) for the privilege.
If New Year’s Eve falls on a Monday to Thursday, you can stay for 2 days (1 night) and pay the Summer 2 days midweek rate, the same as any other midweek 2 days during summer. The minimum is 1 day charged. Usually our maximum is 1 week, if you want to do more, call us and we can quote you.
Linen is included and the beds are already made. We want you to come onboard and relax straightaway.
Our dinghys always come with an easy start electric outboard (no ripcord) and a spare battery at no extra charge. You will get about 15kms out of one charge. The Hawkesbury River has a strong tide and we do not want anyone having to row against that, (especially children) if at all possible or unless you really want the exercise, we have oars onboard.
Your safety on holiday and making it as easy and relaxing as possible are our top priorities. Come and enjoy our slice of heaven on one of the most scenic rivers in Australia.
