Ningana Too

Virtual Tour

With a contemporary feel and many unexpected extras, you can totally relax on this lovely houseboat. This stylish houseboat is perfect for a couples’ retreat.

Ningana Too is a smaller houseboat that suits couples and small groups who want something simple, comfortable and easy to handle.

There are two queen bedrooms, with one able to split into singles, plus a small bunk room that works better for storage or shorter guests. There’s also a double sofa bed in the main lounge if you need a bit of extra sleeping space. 

Inside, you’ve got a fully equipped kitchen with stone benchtops, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, coffee machine and two dining areas. Front and rear lounges give you a couple of different places to sit, and the onboard stereo connects by Bluetooth, USB or 3.5mm. 

Upstairs, there’s an all-weather covered deck with dining space, sunbeds and a large ice box. Out the back, you’ve got a big swim deck with extra seating and room for drinks, platters or ski gear. 

Power is kept straightforward with an inverter system and a quiet 2kVA Honda generator, while evaporative air conditioning, gas heating and instant hot water keep things comfortable onboard. A 60hp Mercury four-stroke handles the cruising. 

Ningana Too is a good fit if you want a smaller, easy-going boat with enough space for a relaxed trip without paying for a heap of extras you probably won’t 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.
