Boatel

Property Description

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. Boatel is now without question the most luxurious vessel available for hire on any Australian waterway.

With sensational technological advancements, as well as the latest in hotel interior refinements including sumptuous beds, amazing entertainment areas, and on-board cinema, Boatel has earned the right to be named Australia's first five star houseboat.

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.

Our chef also has a range of pre-prepared meals for you to take on your voyage. Our chef can stay on Boatel for several days to create a weekend that will be remembered for a lifetime.

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.

An incredible 85 unseen computers make your stay pleasurable. The boatel uses the latest technology from across the globe to control lights, blinds, windows, propulsion, power generation, power use, and entertainment.

The only guest interactive computer is located on the command centre, and is a robust and highly powerful Panel PC equipped with touch screen technology - which means you easily get information about the Boatel by touching it's screen - no mouse, joystick or keyboard to worry about! The panel PC has hundreds of CD's loaded into it for you listening pleasure.

There's nothing quite like a relaxing holiday on the River Murray. A wide, meandering river with beautiful scenery, nature, fun, peace and serenity - all unmatched.
