— Frequently Asked Questions —
Q: Does this experience provide overnight accommodation? A: Please note that the houseboat is not a hotel. It cannot be used for residential purposes. You are welcome to use this houseboat for gatherings, parties, feasts, or similar events. The maximum capacity of the boat is 14 guests. ( For orders of 8 persons or more, please contact our manager)
Q: What will I experience on the houseboat? A: The houseboat is located outside. The experience might be like glamping. You will feel local and relaxed. You might be able to hear and smell of ships and seawater. This is the local culture of the traditional fishing village of Hong Kong. The houseboat is quiet most of the time.
Q: Do I need to confirm the number of guests when booking? A: If you anticipate a large group, we recommend you make your booking for 5 guests first, and then notify us of the final total of guests and pay the difference. (You must notify us at least 2 days before your departure date.)
Q: Can I invite friends on board for a few hours? A: The number of guests booked refers to the total number of people boarding during the rental period. Even though a guest may only board the boat for a short period, we do consider them as guests for the whole cruise. If we discover an unauthorized boarding, an additional guest fee of HK$1,000 per person will be charged.
Q: Can I bring pets? A: No pets are allowed on board.
Q: Can I walk onto the houseboat from the shore? A: Boarding the houseboat from the shore is not allowed. Guests must take a sampan to and from the houseboat.
Q: Can the houseboat be rented for a few hours only? Can we leave the houseboat before the scheduled off-boarding time? A: Our houseboat rental is 20 hours per session. You can board the boat from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm and disembark before 11:00 am the next day. During the rental period, you can freely get on and off the houseboat. Just call the sampan service staff to arrange.
Q: What is the service time of the sampan and how much does it cost per trip? A: Since the sampan service is not part of the houseboat service, the assistance of the sampan service staff is required to board and disembark the houseboat. This service is generally offered from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm, and the cost per way is HK$10–20. During this period, you only need to call the sampan service staff to arrange a pick-up. After 7:00 pm, the sampan only provides limited services. If there is no sampan, we will arrange a special connection, but additional fees will be charged.
Q: Will there be enough water and electricity? A: 24 hours of water and electricity are available onboard. Water can be drunk after boiling. Please turn off electric appliances after using them and turn off all lights and air-conditioning before leaving the houseboat to save the environment and ensure a comfortable passage. Please note that water pressure and electricity voltage might be different from the land. If water is consumed simultaneously from multiple sources, the lowered water pressure will affect the water yield.
Q: Is there Wi-Fi connection? A: Yes, there is a Wi-Fi connection on the houseboat, but please understand that the network may not be as stable as at home as 4G SIM cards are used.
Q: Is there a bathroom onboard? A: Yes, there are 2 fully equipped hot water bathrooms onboard (one with a bathtub). Waste bin is provided onboard. Please do not place toilet paper or trash into the toilet to prevent clogging.
Q: Is there air conditioning onboard? A: Yes, the houseboat is equipped with air conditioning. You can stay comfortably even during the Summer.
Q: How stable will the ride be? A: The houseboat is equipped with a wave-reducing design. When other ships pass by, there will still be some degrees of waves, you might feel a slight sway from time to time. This is part of the experience on board. Usually, it does not cause inconvenience.
Q: Where will the houseboat primarily cruise through? A: The houseboat moors in Aberdeen Fishing Port on the south of Hong Kong Island, near Aberdeen Centre, Ap Lei Chau (Lee Tung MTR Station), with a 360-degree view of the fishing port.
Q: How is the security facilities on the boat? A: There is CCTV installed near the entrance of the houseboat. Both the front and back doors can be locked. There will be contact numbers provided after you are onboard. You can dial the number if needed.
Reviews
💜The houseboat staff are kind and can quickly answer the queries ❓but the houseboat equipment is a bit old, for example, it is not available on Netflix; there is no rice cooker on the kitchen supplies list; the water level in the shower is slow, and you need to wait about 10 minutes. The next one is used; the room and toilet are located on the ground floor, the ventilation equipment is not ideal, the toilet will have an odor, and it will not be dispersed for a long time. Barbecue equipment is convenient; the water pressure is not bad; the hand sanitizer and cleaning needed There is enough precision; the sheets are clean; the induction cooker in the kitchen and the fire boiler for the side stove are very good; although the three boats are adjacent, the sound insulation effect is OK; you can watch the sea view for breakfast and dinner, everyone likes it; in and out The boat owners are kind, charge $10 per person, that is, call is available, in fact, they are all good services 💚The mentality of embracing is to experience (rather than stay in a hotel), I feel pretty good
A very happy experience, suitable for a family, the most important thing is that someone knows how to cook food. There is a BBQ stove on the boat, which can barbecue, and there is an induction cooker, which can cook food, but it is convenient to be a BBQ barbecue. You can use toilet paper and bring towels.
The facilities are good, the environment is clean, and the training is quiet enough, but if you are seasick, you need to prepare medicine, because I go to Guochi to fight the wind and the waves are relatively big. If it is usually, I should not dry it.
The boathouse experience is very unique, but the cooking tools and cups and saucers on the boat are very dirty and need to be cleaned. The room has a smell that needs attention, but the overall treehouse experience is very unique and well worth trying.
A unique experience. The boathouse was nicely furnished and quite well equipped. Would definitely love to go onboard again.
Lovely experience for a sea staycation with friends and family x
The houseboat experience is very poor. First of all, the facilities of the houseboat are very old, the toilet is smelly and leaking, the hot water is unstable, and the air conditioner is not cold enough! In addition, the barge is required to board the ship, and an additional $40 per person is required to be paid back and forth.
