## About this property

### Self contained floating apartment

A perfect getaway! A combination of rest, relaxation, adventure, wilderness and luxury all within an hour from Brisbane.   
  
Equipped with kayaks and Stand Up Paddleboards, Caloundra Houseboats takes you away from the city lights and into the heart of Pumicestone Passage, renowned worldwide for spectacular sunsets and birdlife.  
  
The seven berth Wallamba is the perfect mother ship, a haven to revitalise with a sundowner on the top deck and a comfortable bed after spending the days kayaking, SUPing, fishing or bird watching.  
  
Its a holiday for everyone, you can be as chilled or as active as you like. Spend all day on the boat, or go and explore the Bribie Island National Park on foot, or the Pumicestone Passage Marine Park by paddle.  
  
And we take the stress out of houseboating. If you can't drive a boat, we can do it for you!
