Relaxing  Exciting  Holiday Afloat 

Houseboat Rentals in Tin Can Bay
provide the ultimate in lifestyle and comfort

They  are only a short distance from Noosa on the Sunshine Coast



As the family team are long time locals they know the area like the back of their hands. They are also keen about fishing, crabbing & can give you advice on water activities that are safe for the whole family.

Les, Jenny & Ben Dunstan are well attuned to the needs of families on holidays.

They know that most families and  groups only want a really exciting hassle free, luxury holiday on the water. Where better than the Great Sandy Strait.

Having enjoyed houseboat cruising in the Rainbow Bay/Point Carlo area, including Hervey Bay area since 2012,  this dynamic team have demonstrated a love of the ocean and it’s wildlife above and below the water.


Tin Can Bay and Rainbow beach area will always be a place called home. 

Your Skipper (Coxswain) and instructor has had many  hours on the water, probably fishing as well. 

Knowing that someone has the capability to teach you how to drive your Luxury Afloat houseboat, is one of the most important task of your holiday.

Every family is given a thorough induction on the safety aspect and procedures required to make the most of your cruising in the calm waters of the Straits.

You don’t have to worry about getting your houseboat in and out of the marina they will  handle that part, but you have the chance of learning the ropes in clear unobstructed waters. By the time you return from your time away you’ll be the expert. Really the boats are easy to handle, they take the pain out of getting the hang of it. Their Coxswain is sure to give you the lowdown of all the hot fishing spots – Ummmm maybe not all…….

When you examine the low cost per person based on maximum number of guests that are catered in this boat accommodation, you can live and enjoy Luxury (Afloat)!
Many people tend to regard summer months as the time to take a houseboat holiday in the Australian waters. However The Great Sandy Strait in Queensland with its sheltered waters, is at its best in the cooler months of the year with cloudless skies and water that is warm.

Today Luxury Afloat houseboat rental discounts in the off seasons certainly helps the hip pocket!
