About this property

Self contained floating apartment

Perfect if you just want a novel and comfortable place to sleep with a restaurant and pub within easy reach. The houseboat will be firmly hitched to the jetty. No fishing sorry, and no kayak provided but can be hired for an extra cost.
Wally, our houseboat has everything you need.. fully equipped kitchen, three decks, comfortable beds and a hot shower.

Ideal for couples!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image

Caloundra Houseboats is owned by husband and wife, Ken and Julie. Ken is a qualified marine skipper, and drives a 72 person cruise boat when he's not showing guests how to operate the houseboat. Ken is a water baby - a very keen sea kayaker and only recently sold his jetski hire and safari business.

Why they chose this property

Ken and Julie established this business in 2022 because they saw demand for houseboats on the Ramsar listed Pumicestone Passage Marine Park. They purchased the Wallamba from New South Wales and had it trucked to Caloundra - they went to these extraordinary lengths because the Wallamba, or Wally, is a Coher 45 - a houseboat with a fantastic reputation for safety and comfort.
