You can add a winery tour from mooring 17 or boat in to the Colour Patch jetty at the rivermouth, Self contained or catered options are all available

All our operations, vessels, moorings and Base are designed with the lightest possible footprint. Houseboat Base has been off grid for 19 years. We generate our own solar power and harvest our own rainwater. Anchors are not used for mooring up. The swing moorings mean there's no damage to the river banks or river bed and other river craft use them so its less impact all round! Our vessels create little wake, they are fully sealed and we have a strict "All Decks. Nothing Overboard" policy.

We supply the fully self contained houseboat with all your linen and a motorised dinghy. You supply all food, drinks and fishing gear. We have kayaks and stand up paddle boards for guests use.
