We recently booked with Luxury Afloat Houseboats on the Hawkesbury and unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. There is nothing “luxury” about these boats. Everything felt old, worn out and poorly maintained. From the moment we arrived, it set the tone — the office itself was messy and run down, with no one available to assist us. Eventually, a staff member came out but barely communicated with us, which was frustrating given the situation. During the booking process, the manager was incredibly friendly an... read more

Rented a cottage @ 11 Milson's Passage with some friends for three nights. House was well set out with all the comforts of home.

Sad, dilapidated and dirty! Absolutely nothing luxurious about the boat apart from the price to hire. Nothing matched from the bedding to the cutlery, plates , cups and glasses. I’ve seen better coordinated charity shops.

We had a fantastic 5 nights and 6 six days aboard the Douglas Mawson. The Luxury Afloat staff were incredible, and the boat facilities were perfect for our party of 8. We found a couple of breathtaking places to moore, fish and take in all the glory of the Hawkesbury.

We never received any response or any compensation for the most uncomfortable houseboat we have ever rented. There were cockroaches everywhere, old and mismatched chairs that looked like they were picked up from roadside rubbish, and a non-working air conditioner. They kept promising they would look into it at the end of the season, but nothing ever happened. Overall, a very disappointing company. We will never book with them again.
