“Loved it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

A family of five, we stayed here over Chrismas 2011 and we loved it! Tea Gardens is a truly beautiful and relaxing location. Our apartment overlooked the bay and we were able to relax on the balcony drinking chilled white wine and watching the pelicans glide by. The hotel staff were exceptionally hospitable and the well-appointed apartment had everything we needed (including free internet). The shared barbeque facilities in the garden made for a fun Christmas dinner, with the opportunity to get to know our fellow guests and learn how to barbie from the masters! There's plenty of secured parking, and the whole town is comfortably in walking distance. The nearby beaches are fantastic. Don't miss the opportunity to visit the magnificent sand dunes on the beach at Dark Point and the beach at Hawks Nest, over the bridge. The drive around the Myall Lakes and the whale & dolphin watching tour are also a must. Overall, a great holiday!

Thanks for your extremely positive review of The Boathouse, Tea Gardens. We are so happy you have had such a wonderful Christmas and summer holiday and have made the most of our Resort's inclusions. We are in an ideal spot to provide a holiday that can be as active or as peaceful as the individual requires and enjoy hearing happy holiday stories.

I do agree that chilled wine, awesome views, friendly people and our wonderful wildlife are pretty amazing!

Looking forward to seeing your family again sometime, have a great year.

“ask for 2nd or 3rd floor”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We booked the boathouse because we wanted a quite location, our only request was to be able to relax on a private balcony with a view and enjoy a glass of wine or 2 and read my book,
we only had a 2 day break from our busy jobs.
I booked the boathouse on-line because the inclusions read (large private balcony with views over the lake). Just what I wanted.
So when we arrived to find our room opened onto the swimming pool and I could not really see the lake .I was really disappointed, The pool is beautiful and I'm sure this room would suit a family with children . I didn't like the fact that we had no privacy and had to keep the curtains closed because everyone in the pool area could see straight into the lounge and bedroom, So my advise ask for a room on 2nd or 3rd floor if you want a view and privacy. and if your a family with kids and like the idea of being by the pool ask for rooms 105 to 111.
The room was lovely ,and I would stay again but i will book direct with the boathouse to make sure I got a room on level 2 or 3.

Room Tip: If you want privacy and views ask for level 2 or 3 ,

Thanks for taking the time to write a positive review for The Boathouse Resort. Our private swim out rooms are certainly fantastic for families and those guests who enjoy spending most of their time poolside. As you have mentioned, by ringing the Resort directly we can certainly chat with you about your particular requirements and then provide the best luxury apartment suitable. We look forward to your next stay with us and will ensure you receive magnificent river views. Kind regards Vanessa

“One night was not enough”

This rest stop on our way north from Sydney surpassed all our expectations; what a shame we were committed to moving on as just one night here was not enough. Great views, service and facilities with a hospitable welcome. A trifle more that we usually pay but still good value.

Hello Anthony

Thankyou for posting a positive review of The Boathouse Resort. We are happy that you have enjoyed our little piece of undiscovered paradise! Tea Gardens is a beautiful area that can be as quiet or as busy as you wish you holiday to be. You definately need more than one night's stay to really appreciate how amazing our land and waterways really are, perhaps we shall see you again soon. Kind regards Vanessa

“Getaway Girls favourite location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2011

person found this review helpful

It was the third time last weekend 6 fun loving girls stayed at the Oaks Boathouse apartments. We keep returning because the venue is hard to beat, great value for money, clean spacious apartments in an ideal position overlooking the river. The facilities are great and we took advantage of the pool, BBQ and sauna. The management is always helpful and willing to accommodate our needs, (usually extra wine glasses). Would highly recommend this venue to others and we will certainly look forward to returning again in the future.

Room Tip: 2nd and 3rd floor units overlooking the river have great views

“Great stopover”

We stayed here just for one night and it was lovely. It was clean and comfortable, with views of the lake, and a short walk to shops and cafes. It was too bad the weather was not nicer as the pool area was very inviting. Management were very friendly and helpful. Would like to visit here again, this time for longer.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review of The Boathouse Resort. We are happy to hear you had a lovely and comfortable stay and enjoyed the shops, cafes and view. It is a shame you could only spend one night this time, next time you will have to stay for a few nights so you can discover our beautiful area. Have a lovely Christmas and New Year.
