Enjoy feeling like a millionaire in millionaire's row! Canal living is beautifully serene. You will be in holiday mode the moment you step through the front door.For those days you are not on the water, simply drop a line from the back door & relax. Mud crabs and sandies [both caught from pontoon and the passage] guests have had a ball eating fish they caught from the pontoon.
Lack of a boat won't stop you enjoying the best holiday of your life at BOATHOUND.
Incredible Charters can pick up at Bongaree Ph. for charter boat fishing.
Webb Family . A fantastic place to holiday
Wade Family It was great to see Dugong and Dolphins cruising around and caught a nice sweetlip off the pontoon. Would they miss us if we didn't go back to work

Second time to stay at the house. We love it. It has all the right features and even with no wifi 3 teenage boys did not even complain! The location and ease of fishing from the pontoon was a winner yet again. We’ll be booking again in the near future.

Holiday on canal
The property was comfortable with all we needed and we enjoyed our stay. It was annoying having to bring our own linen other places we have stayed in provided this. When I booked this place I was unaware we would have to pay for the use of the air conditioner and dryer. We paid a substantial amount to stay there and felt this was rather stingy. Other than that it was a pleasant place to relax.

Lovely getaway
Thank you for a wonderful family recharge! The house and surrounding area had something for everyone: fishing, bike riding, great park across the road, close to shopping complex with good coffee and seafood. There was even a boat cafe that went past the pontoon.I must admit the coin meters for the aircon and drier were a real hassle. It would be great if the accomodation just built these costs into the total payment. Also drier was very expensive and didnt dry items as it stopped at 30mins when coins ran out. Apart from the aircon and drier situation the house was family friendly, comfortable and everything we needed for a lovely getaway.

Lovely location
Lovely location. The pontoon was great but no light and no running water. There is no hot tub as advertised. The beds are uncomfortable. The aircon is coin operated so make sure you bring a small ransom in 2 coins- dryer also. Only one aircon in living space nothing for bedrooms. Spent my first hours cleaning. Cockroaches are a deterring flatmate.dog doo in the carport, box of used soap under counter, rusty microwave, rusty freezer,, smelled like wet dog, dog prints steaming down glass doors. Bathrooms were very clean. Beautiful views from back area. Close to ammenities.

"We had a great stay, especially as boat owners— the canal views were lovely, and the location was perfect. The unit itself was very spacious, offering plenty of room to relax. However, we would have appreciated easier access to the air conditioner and dryer without having to use a $2 coin box to operate them. In today’s climate, these amenities are more of a necessity for comfort rather than a luxury, especially when on holiday. Overall, a good experience with just a few improvements that could make it even better."

The family and furbaby enjoyed a relaxing week in this low-maintenance and very conveniently situated Bribie Island home. We loved the canal aspect with morning coffees and afternoon sunsets, watching the motor boats and dolphin pods.🐬

Holiday at Boathound
We had a great stay and our girl (4 legged) really enjoyed the dog park across the road. We caught fish from the Pontoon. Residence was clean and very homely. The only thing would be the TV in the loungeroom needs upgrading due to not being able to pick up HD channels and possibly a bigger microwave. Overall great, we'll be back for stay no. 2!
