About this property
Selene - Luxury Houseboat Experience
Across the street from Thorpe Park, this memorable place is anything but ordinary. Selene is a vacation get away you won`t forget. Though you aren`t allowed to drive this 65x12ft wide-beam, you are able to enjoy the full Kitchen, bathroom with a tub/shower, a king size bed, double, bunk and pull out couch. The outside patio is a great place to eat or read. With a cozy fire or radiant heat you will alway be warm. High speed internet and TVs everywhere.
Selene is a 65x12ft Widebeam Boat, she offers 2 bedrooms, one being the the master Bedroom with Double bed and Bedroom 2 with a double and a single bed, allowing families to enjoy staying on board. She has a beautiful bathroom with a claw foot Bath and shower mixer tap, along with Toilet and wash basin. The lounge and Kitchen are an open plan and give great space to feel at home when you stay. Full heating throughout the Boat along with a log burner to make winter nights even cozier. The master Bedroom also enjoys have a deck area through the double doors, so you can sit outside and enjoy your morning coffee or Night time tipple looking out across the Marina. The front deck on the boat as you enter, allows you during spring and summer months to enjoy outside access on the front deck to top up your tan and in winter can be enclosed to let you enjoy outside deck space. We have designed her internally to make all our guests have a home on the water experience.

If you don`t feel like cooking on board, then we have some great restaurants within 1.5 miles for you to enjoy, such as the Swan, the Grove, Kingfisher to name but a few. If you are staying between Thursday and Sunday, there is also a Yacht Club in site with a bar and restaurant that many of our Guests have enjoyed.
