Welcome to Drift Flotel, the ultimate holiday houseboat experience. Step aboard our luxurious 3 storey, 12-metre, tri-hull boat featuring everything you would expect from a fully self-contained luxury home.

No need to worry about operating the vessel, when you arrive it will be anchored in a picturesque location featuring 360 degree water and island views.

This is the perfect getaway to relax with friends and family, enjoy some fishing, swimming or just soak in the sun.

The space
When you book Drift Flotel you will have exclusive use of this newly renovated, 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom houseboat with full kitchen, dining room, lounge room, rooftop garden, walkaround deck and separate balconies.

Each bedroom offers its own private balcony, the downstairs bedroom features an ensuite while the upstairs bedroom has direct access to the second bathroom.

There is also a very comfy double fold out couch in the upstairs living room available for extra guests.

The standout of the flotel is the rooftop garden, featuring comfortable lounging areas, shade sail, mood lighting and unbeatable views.

Guest access
Your journey will begin with being picked up from the Jetty opposite the Aqua building, located at 300 Marine Parade, Labrador. You can unload your gear at the top of the jetty, then there is free on street parking available near the jetty as well as public amenities and cafes.

You will be able to access your car during your stay as the Flotel will be anchored not too far from the jetty.

You will meet our Captain to board the bowrider transfer boat for a quick cruise to the Flotel.

Once onboard Drift Flotel you will have exclusive use of the entire vessel with a 3 metre poly tender, 5 horsepower outboard. This can be used to go to shore, visit restaurants and bars, explore the nearby islands, have a swim and take your dogs for a walk. No boat license is required for the tender and a demonstration of use will be provided.

Guests are also welcome to bring their own boats, jet skis, kayaks, SUPs, etc, they can be tied up to the nine meter drydock alongside the Flotel.

Other things to note
If you would like friends to come aboard this can be organised as we are registered to have up to 12 people onboard during daylight hours. I can provide transfers with notice.

The Flotel will be placed in varying locations around the Broadwater. If you would prefer it to be in a certain location during your stay, please let me know, and I'll try to accommodate.

Please don't hesitate to ask any questions. I'm happy to help make your stay great.

If anything, unforeseeable was to happen or you need more supplies etc. I am on call 24 hours and will be more than happy to assist.
