This was a great choice for our Easter getaway. Tea Gardens is a lovely relaxed little village and the Boathouse Resort was perfectly located along the river within easy reach of the shops, restaurants and ferry. Our apartment on the third floor gave us a fantastic view over the pool to the river beyond. The apartment was well laid out,... More

This is a friendly place for families. The kids were in the heated pool most of the days (even in the rain). The apartments are large and accommodating. Stuart and his team are always on hand to assist with any inquiries. It is an easy walk to Tillermans and Nicoles cafes. Very relaxing.

Thanks for a lovely review. We agree the pool is absolutely fabulous, its a fantastic design, with the sandy beach access, kids pool and then lap pool lending to each and everyone's personal requirements. The rain certainly does not stop many from swimming, generally our guest go from the pool straight to the heat of the Japanese steam room or... More

We had the most amazing couple of days up at Tea Gardens. I would HIGHLY recommend the Boathouse Luxury Apartments, perfect for Families or even Couples. Great friendly service from Stuart and Vanessa, the Managers. We were made to feel so welcome. We will be going back here for another break for sure. A little piece of Paradise...

We stayed at the Boathouse for 5 nights, combining business and pleasure. The apartments are large, spotless and very comfortable and the management very obliging and friendly. We were located on the 2nd floor, with huge covered balconies off the bedroom and lounge which had great waterviews. This was perfect for an afternoon drink before the leisurely waterfront stroll to... More

Stayed at this resort just recently for 2 nights for a mini-break. Wished it was a longer one as it was so peaceful and relaxing. We stayed in an apartment on Level 3 which was just lovely. Everything looked new and it was well appointed. The view over the lake was so relaxing and hubby took some great photos. Loved... More

My wife and I recently spent 2 nights here and really enjoyed ourselves. First impressions were that it looked like a resort, nice pool, great facilities. These impressions were confirmed when we walked into our room. It was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. We were on the top floor and had a nice view over the pool and... More

We stayed at the Boathouse for just one night while travelling. Firstly, I must say that the apartment we had was very large and really in the best spot, on the top floor at the front of the resort overlooking the waterway. The resort is in a good spot - nice walks along the waterfront. However, the apartment was fairly... More

Had a 5 night return visit after an absence of a few years and enjoyed again its tranquil river location and relaxed ambience. Had a spacious 2 bedroom unit at the pool level which could be noisy at certain times with squealing younger guests and partying grey nomads. A better choice would have been to ask for an apartment on... More
