Advantage 2

Virtual Tour

When quality counts! By day or by night you will be the envy of your friends. With modern clean lines and an open layout, this houseboat oozes class.

Advantage 2 is a great fit for smaller crews who want a modern setup, a big top deck and plenty of room to spread out.

There are three bedrooms, plus a fold-down sofa bed area up front that can be used as extra sleeping space when needed.

Inside, there’s a fully equipped kitchen with a 700L fridge/freezer, filtered drinking water, dishwasher, electric oven, gas cooktop and coffee machine. The lounge and dining area is simple and comfortable, with room for everyone to sit together without feeling packed in.

Upstairs, you’ve got an 8-person spa, dining area, sun lounges, Smart TV, BBQ and a second helm with full controls. There’s also a wide staircase with a child safety gate, which makes moving between decks a lot easier.

Out the back, there’s a large swim deck with lockable gates, giving kids a safer area around the rear of the boat.

Power is fully off-grid with around 20kWh of lithium battery storage, 8kW of solar and a 10kVA auto start/stop backup generator. The system is also monitored by staff 24/7, so the boring electrical stuff mostly looks after itself.

Smart TVs are fitted throughout the bedrooms, lounge and top deck, with Bluetooth speakers upstairs for music.

Advantage 2 is a good fit if you want a comfortable boat, flexible sleeping and a top deck you’ll actually use.

Local Tips
Trentham Estate can be extremely busy on weekends, so we recommend calling in advance to secure a table in the restaurant area. We also recommend arriving before 11 to avoid houseboat traffic.
 
Monak Win co is highly recommended. They have limited opening hours which are advised on their social media, so please follow for timings and events. You can also call to organise a private tasting.
