On one of our days there we had friends over for dinner and due to the sunny positioning of the bi-fold doors, we could open these to the full extent, sit out and enjoy the afternoon sunshine. It makes to accommodate a fantastic entertaining area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and wouldn't hesitate to return back for another restful break on the houseboat.
