Reviews
Spent a fantastic weekend with my family on the houseboat. The space is really cozy and it provides everything you need. Communication with the staff was clear and prompt, making it easy to get answers to any questions we had. Would definitely stay again!
Wonderful experience. The place is nice and clean. The agent was responsive and accommodating. We have upgraded to have their boat noodle and touring experience. A very good option for group celebration.
quite a unique experience, the boat inside is extremely nice and huge, staff is nice, the only disappointment is there are so many boats around as we are only in the middle of the shelter... (we first thought we would be alone in the middle of the sea)
Advantages: 1. The interior is clean and tidy, and the furniture is not too old 2. Fully equipped, 3 rooms, 3 double beds, 2 toilets 3. All kitchen and seasonings 4. There is a sparrow position 5. The bed is comfortable 6. The space is sufficient Big 7. The environment is quite peaceful 8. The boat noodle experience is good and delicious (30 mosquito bowls) 9. The weather is pretty good, the boat is not too shaky 10. There is Netflix 11. The living room has soft lighting at night, very romantic. Disadvantages: 1. The pier is too close, and it doesn’t take 30 seconds to take a sampan, but each person takes $15 one way, so 6 people go and it becomes $90 😅 2. The outside of the boat is a bit old and the pictures are not beautiful 3. Take turns to take a shower, because the water/water pressure is not enough 4 Do not drop any paper towels into the bathroom, it will be stuffed. 5. Bring all your own food and drinks, because you can go out and sit on a sampan. 6. You can’t use more than 4 air conditioners, you will skip the electricity and you will have to fuse by yourself 7. Will not move, only parked near the pier. 8. The curtains of the large suite are broken and cannot be shaded in the morning. 9. The large suite is on the top floor. Toriko will land and sing early in the morning.
Had a blast with friends on a houseboat birthday party in Aberdeen! The place is as gorgeous as it looks in photos—spacious, beautifully decorated, and with 3 decks perfect for watching sunsets or the local boat life. Communication with the owners was super easy, making check-in a breeze and the staffs are really helpful as well.
The real thing is the same as the photo, it's so beautiful and comfortable, and it's so clean👏🏻👏🏻 Although it's a pity that it rains, everyone has a good time, 10 points recommended!
Very good experience! The houseboat is clean and tidy, same as the photos! good!
Very good experience, the facilities on board are perfect and clean hope to come back again
Amazing experience on this Vintage Boat with my friends and family! The boat is very well equipped and well look after! The host Wilson is very helpful before and after our trip. We will certainly book again:)
The price is expensive but the houseboat experience is really special! The mooring is on the shore and the other boats are buried together. You need to take a boat. 15 mosquitoes/ Cheng Youde. The sunset is really good. The pictures are so beautiful. The equipment is good. There is a TV. There is a board game. There is a place with speakers. It will be hot, less good color, air conditioner, cold enough, water pressure, rock, good enough for shower, hot water, two rooms for punching at the same time, three of them are comfortable, have a few fun with friends, 30 mosquitoes on the boat, good enough for dinner, remember to bring it in by yourself Go to the same burial, to restore, go first
