Catering

Catering options now available. What could possibly be more convenient than arriving on your houseboat with the fridge stacked full of prepared meals ready to be heated and enjoyed.

We have partnered with Prestidge Catering to offer you the convenience of not having to plan, shop, load and cook. Have a look at the menu and give our office a call on 07 5502 6200 to order your meals.

Please note that catering deliveries are only available for Friday departures.

Provisioning

Having plenty of food, drink and supplies for your trip away is a pretty important part of your holiday planning. You have several choices when it comes to supplying your vessel with all the goodies you need.

• Most people will of course simply ensure they have been shopping prior to the houseboat holiday and bring the goodies with them when they arrive for their holiday.
• Another option is to do your grocery shopping at the supermarkets located just 10 minutes from our marina and then load the goodies onto the boat before departure.
• Another option and especially if space is an issue is to use the increasingly popular Coles or Woolworths on line. Customers who order their goods online through either Coles or Woolworths will find their goodies already packed away on their boat prior to the crew’s arrival.
