Luke i live in Cairns and as far as i know there is no house boat hire here.........By the way the Hinchnbrook is the far better place to go out in a house boat anyway....more fish barra, jacks, trevally, queenies , more water ,plenty of muddies and prawns ....couldn't really ask for too much more.....perfect lifestyle on the water under the stars
If you book in a week on the hinchnbrook you won't regret it...
And while the missus enjoys the comfort of the house boat you can go scooting up the creeks in the tender.....

Hi Luke,

There are no Houseboats further North than Hinchinbrook/Dunk Island area, as the Waters are concidered too rough(open waters). I hired the "Cloud Nine" from Lazy Croc two years ago and had a great time. Becareful to have a good look over the boat before you go as ours had a leaking gas bottle for the first 4 days until they fixed it, then they charged us for the extra bottle of gas! A bit dodgey on the maintenance side of things otherwise AOK.

Regards,

Richo

Luke Hinchinbrook rentayacht is not too bad ..... but they sting you something severe for the fuel (even if you dont use much) & the cleaning go for a drive & check out the boat first as there is a big difference in space / quality .... NAGG
PS you can also hire a bigger tinny with canopy etc (much better than the little polys)
