We are very flexible and hires can be any number of nights. (Up to 14 nights)
There are 2 conditions.
Hires cannot  finish on a Saturday. 
You may return on a Saturday but the hire will be priced to include that night.
Hires cannot be booked to start on a Sunday. 
A Hire may be possible starting on a Sunday but the option will only be there if the boat isn't booked for the previous weekend. Please book from Monday and call two days before to take up this option if available.

Hire Times: All Hires are counted on nights not days. Hires commence with boarding 
at 1pm first day and terminates 10am on the last day,
(4pm return on Sundays for Weekend hires and Mondays on Long weekends).
We will do our best to get you underway as soon as possible depending on the circumstances of the day. 
Most hirers get underway between 3 and 4 pm. Whenever possible we will combine briefings of different hirers to get everyone underway as soon as possible. There may be up to 5 boats leaving on the same day.
Extended times may be available at no extra cost if the houseboat is not booked for 
the same day. A time can be organised 48 hrs before the day, this offer is more likely
to eventuate outside school holiday times. 

Prices include GST (Goods and Services Tax).

Prices are subject to alteration without notice. Paying your deposit locks in the price.

A $500 deposit is needed to secure the booking. A $1000 deposit is required on hires over $3000. 

The balance is paid on the day of the hire except hires during NSW and 
Queensland Public school holidays where the balance is required 14 days before the start of the school holidays. 
Christmas school holiday balance required by 1st December.

Motoring Hours Fee - (the houseboat hire prices are based on a user pays structure)
A fee of $25.00 per motoring hour applies to cover cost of servicing and replacing motors, fuel prices and gas.
Past hires have produced an average of 2-3 motoring hours per day.

Whilst on hire, we require a security bond for the duration of your holiday. 
For couples, mixed company groups and families the bond is $1000.00. 
If your group is all male or all female, or you're a group of  6 or more where no-one is over 30 years old, the bond is now $3000.00.  The hirer is responsible for the first $3000.00  of any damage done and also goes toward any loss of business as a result of that damage.
You may choose this to be done with a credit card authorization or we can hold  a cash bond. On subsequent hires the bond will be $1000.00 if no problems arise from your first hire. 
This bond has recently been increased due to more damage. Groups of young people, especially if they are all males, count for most of the damage done and we don't see why everyone else should have to pay the penalty for this. Increases in insurance premiums mean hire prices have to be increased as well. We do not claim insurance for the first $3000.00 with these groups. (exceptions do apply at our discretion)
All bonds include $150 for cleaning if the boat is not returned with basic housekeeping done. 
Additional Items For Hire
Outboard Motor for the dinghy ($15 per day, to a maximum of $100.00) We don't include the cost of a motor in every hire as not everyone wants to use a motor. You can anchor as close as 20m from shore, so that's as far as you will need to row.

An additional security bond of $500.00 is required with this item.
