Houseboat vacation rentals in Oceania

Wonderful stay! Very unique space with tons to do and excellent service.

Nuestra estadía en Paolyn Houseboat fue realmente increíble. Superó nuestras expectativas al 100%. Dormir sobre el agua es una experiencia única y aún más completa cuando es acompañado de una atención de tanta calidad. Todo el equipo de trabajo fue súper amable, respetuoso y amigables. El servicio gastronómico y de limpieza muy bueno. Recomendamos hacer los tours privados que ofrece el alojamiento, realmente es una experiencia mágica que quedará por siempre en nuestros recuerdos. Sin dudas volveríamos a elegir Paolyn Houseboats para nuestra siguiente visita a Coron.

Wow is all I can say. I felt like a rockstar from the pick up and throughout the experience. The place is basic but you have hot water shower, paddle boards, kayaks, and snorkeling gear. I did not realize how full service the place is. We could order food to our place anytime or could be picked up and taken to the restaurant anytime. The private boat trips from our dock was the cherry on top. It is stunning here and I would come back in a heartbeat!

Wir - mein 20-jähriger Sohn & ich - waren zu zweit auf Borneorundreise & legten einen Stop in Mabul ein, um etwas zu tauchen. Unsere Wahl für die Unterkunft fiel auf die Mabul Paradies Lodge. Sehr authentisch. Toller Gastgeber David (The Boss) mit extrem freundlichem & hilfsbereitem Personal. Alle Tauchgänge wurden perfekt organisiert & der Tauchlehrer Eddie & sein Dive Master Nelson waren klasse. Das landestypische asiatische Essen war top & konnte durch den Kauf von frisch gefangenen Meeresfrüchten & Fischen toll aufgewertet werden. Die Meeresfrüchte & Fische wurden zur gewünschten Zeit von der hauseigenen Küche extrem lecker zubereitet. Manchmal steht auch David selbst in der Küche. Bei unserem Aufenthalt hat er Krebse und Riesengarnelen sowie eine chinesische Suppe zubereitet & uns dazu eingeladen mitzuessen. Alles nach Familienrezept; köstlich!!! Wir kommen gerne wieder. Unsere Erwartungen wurden mehr als erfüllt. Wir haben uns bei David & seinem Team sehr wohl gefühlt.

What can I say about this place to do it justice. It simply is heaven on earth. The surroundings are beautiful and what Paolo has achieved here is insane. Every aspect of your stay has been well thought out. The staff are the happiest, most attentive people out there. To understand the beauty of this stay you have to book. Paolo supports 230 Members of a local tribe who perform multiple tasks to service the houseboats. It is a unique and amazing project which you can learn about. The access this accommodation provides to the beautiful snorkelling spots is unbelievable. It is clean and the food is truly 5 stars. I know by posting this positive review will only make it harder for us to revisit as it will become more popular, but the work that has gone into this amazing and it deserves all of the praise. A truly unique and enjoyable stay. Thanks for everything!

A very unique experience in a beautiful location. What Paolo and Lyn are doing for the Tagbanwa tribe is impressive. The staff really care and the service is amazing. Although it’s slightly more expensive than other similar resorts, it’s worth the experience and you’re giving back to the community.

Paolo’s houseboat was great. Spent two days, wish we booked for longer. Paolo’s stuff is the friendliest group of people: waitress, cleaning, island hopping tour capitan… everyone is so nice and friendly. The restaurant is offering Italian and Philippine specialties at the highest quality. Food can be served at the restaurant or as room service in the houseboat dining area. Paolo’s place is surrounded by beautiful blue water and limestone. Highly recommended for someone who appreciate the beauty of nature

Paolyn Houseboat was one of the best and most beautiful places I've ever stayed at. We had the best time! Couldn't have asked for more. Definitely a piece of paradise. Getting to meet and interact with the people from the local tribe was very cool. A special shout out to Wilson and Jom. We had 2 boat excursions with them and they were just brilliant and so much fun. Food is great too! Highly recommended

Lovely, peaceful house to enjoy Mannum and the river. We will be back.

Great views across the river. The electric blinds meant you could lie in bed and take it all in even before getting out of bed.

I can’t even remember how many times we’ve booked in Aquascape already. It’s really the best place if you want a slow and quiet getaway that’s really close to nature. The unobstructed view of the lake right at your doorstep is definitely worth the travel. They are pet-friendly too. My dogs loved walking on the grass the most and smelling the fresh breeze from the lake. It’s a plus that they have their own swimming pool. Clean rooms with hot water shower. Peaceful at night. Would definitely come back.

We enjoyed our stay at the float home. Thanks Brad!

I have been on the Murray River twice before on Houseboat Holidays but this is the first time I haven't been anywhere on the Houseboat. The location couldn't be any more perfect. Enormouse gums, birdlife and total, absolute silence the whole time. Even though it was a long weekend there was noone within cooee! Apart from one houseboat quietly passing one morning, the only other traffic on the river were pelicans. No speed boats, no jet skis. An absolutely stunning place to stay. We will definitely be back.

What a great experience to stay at Karl & Maureen’s house boat. We participated in the Ironman 70.3 event so this location was really convenient for our needs, yet still way from the crazy crowds so we could relax. The house boat was comfortable and had everything we needed. Major bonus to be able to swim off the back of the boat.

A Slice of Paradise with the Best Host Ever! We recently stayed at an Airbnb on the beautiful island of Huahine, and it was unforgettable! Daniel made our experience exceptional. From the warm welcome to his genuine hospitality, we felt right at home. The location is nothing short of breathtaking—set in a pristine blue water lagoon, we spent our days snorkeling in crystal-clear waters filled with vibrant fish and mesmerizing rays. Each moment felt like a dream! Daniel provided us with plenty of privacy while always being available for questions or assistance. His local tips led us to hidden gems on the island, making our adventure even more special. I can't recommend this Airbnb enough! If you're looking for an amazing location and a welcoming host, look no further. Maururu Daniel, for an incredible stay; we will always cherish our time with you!

Superbe expérience avec nos 2 jeunes filles. Posés au milieu d’une baie, avec une vue à coupé le souffle, c’est vraiment quelque chose à vivre. Merci Daniel pour tes conseils et ton hospitalité

Just like glamping on the water So lovely in the quite of mornings and evenings with the fish jumping beautiful sunsets and we saw a few dolphins too. Great to kayak around on the broad water as well Tina had everything we needed and we were able to more our boat right next to her. Thanks Alugo we had a lovely stay Dean and Jess

We were delighted that Deanne was able to accommodate us at such short notice. The boat was amazing and we enjoyed 2 perfect days watching the wildlife, sunsets and stars on the river. Would absolutely recommend!

Nous avons vécu une expérience tout simplement EXTRAORDINAIRE! Tout est réuni pour passer un séjour unique et inoubliable. Le service est irréprochable : à la fois proactif, attentionné et très professionnel, toujours avec le sourire. L’environnement est exceptionnel, paisible et magnifiquement préservé. Tout est parfaitement organisé, que ce soit les repas, les excursions ou la logistique. Le restaurant sur l’eau est un vrai coup de cœur : les plats sont délicieux, préparés avec des produits de qualité, et les prix sont très abordables. Les excursions proposées sont également superbes, bien encadrées, et permettent de découvrir des lieux incroyables. Nous avions hésité à venir avec nos deux enfants de 15 et 7 ans, mais cela a finalement été une expérience exceptionnelle pour toute la famille. Nous repartons avec des souvenirs plein la tête. Nous recommandons cette expérience les yeux fermés à tous ceux qui recherchent l’authenticité, la beauté, et le calme. Un immense merci!
