Boatel has been awarded Australia's first 5 star houseboat rating.
This rating is by AAA Tourism, the same organisation that rates hotels, motels and caravan parks in Australia.
Whether you are cruising the magnificant River Murray with your friends, having a short romantic escape at our private mooring, or hosting a conference in the heart of Mannum, Boatel is now without question the most luxurious vessel available for hire/drive on any Australian waterway.
The Boatel is a new concept in river holidays.
More akin to a luxury hotel than a houseboat, the Boatel has been created to ensure you gain maximum relaxation and enjoyment from your time on board.
Designed by architects who specialise in high-quality hotel design, the Boatel evolved from many years experience holidaying on houseboats.
The Boatel is a total re-think of boat design. From the first glance this is obvious, with its sleek, aerodynamic look – a design that ensures maximum enjoyment, luxury and maximum views of the beautiful Murray scenery.
Unlike anything you’ve ever experienced, the Boatel is two full levels of living area. It weighs in at just 45 tonnes, some 15 to 20 tonnes less than two storey houseboats. This has a dramatically positive effect on the ease of handling and manoeuvrability.
The Boatel has been designed to optimise daytime living, with upstairs being a lounge area for twelve, a dining table for twelve and an incredibly functional kitchen, which in a masterstroke of design, can easily have ten working around it.
The Kitchen, often the heart of the days beginning and end, is in itself a work of art. All appliances are of the highest quality and chosen for their ease of operation. The cooking capability and enjoyment is enhanced by a chefs BBQ on the aft deck, which is directly accessed from the kitchen and dining areas.
Come nightfall, the Boatel assumes it’s alter ego. With a touch of a button on the Command Centre, the lighting fades away whilst the blinds quietly descend.
Should you wish, at another touch a large screen rolls down and the surround sound speakers come to life to transform the Skylounge into an enviable personal cinema. Before retiring to the nestled comfort of our exclusive River Dream beds, the Skylounge affords a truly stunning view of the heavens… a fitting way to end a heavenly day.
The unique combination of pure luxury on the river creates a truly unique escape.
To fully capitalise on the abundant natural beauty of the river, the Boatel makes maximum use of outdoor viewing, dining, and just relaxing areas. From the kitchen, there is a carpeted aft deck with lounges and gourmet BBQ, which leads down to the swimming and fishing deck, and the fish do bite!
The theme of luxury extends to dining. Situated in the Sky Lounge, quality and comfortable dining settings for up to 12 people is situated just in front of a panoramic window setting.
With a state-of-the-art surround sound system for both music and the DVD/Video cinema, an evening’s entertainment is all at hand.
And after dinner, recline in the comfort of our intimate lounge setting.
The Boatel has five bedrooms each with an exclusive sumptuous king size bed, glass door to the deck, separate walk-in robe and each with a super luxury bathroom comprising full size shower, architectural basin, full length mirrors and electric toilet. Ample king size towels (along with somewhere to hang them) are provided. We have spent a lot of time selecting the beds…and we’re pleased we did. They are specially made, large and pure luxury. These beds are the equivalent to those found in the finest hotels. One night’s sleep will tell the tale.
