A fun day making it with my lovely friend …..95% effort from Kath!

Temporary Closure
Given the recent renewed concern with Covid-19, we have decided to temporarily close Watersedge Boathouse again until the 1st of November, 2020.
We will honour our current confirmed bookings with contactless check-in and check-out. The boathouse will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before arrival.
Watersedge Boathouse B&B will be re-opening from 1st of July, 2020.
We have decided to ‘tentatively’ re-open our bookings from 1st of July, 2020.
We will be committing to an enhanced cleaning protocol, and a ‘booking buffer’, where we will be blocking a date between stays.
We look forward to welcoming you!
