Houseboat holiday rentals in Oceania

Wonderful stay! Very unique space with tons to do and excellent service.

Nuestra estadía en Paolyn Houseboat fue realmente increíble. Superó nuestras expectativas al 100%. Dormir sobre el agua es una experiencia única y aún más completa cuando es acompañado de una atención de tanta calidad. Todo el equipo de trabajo fue súper amable, respetuoso y amigables. El servicio gastronómico y de limpieza muy bueno. Recomendamos hacer los tours privados que ofrece el alojamiento, realmente es una experiencia mágica que quedará por siempre en nuestros recuerdos. Sin dudas volveríamos a elegir Paolyn Houseboats para nuestra siguiente visita a Coron.

We had the best treatment from all staff at Paolyn, everyone makes sure that we get super treatment and ensure that we have an amazing stay. Thank you to Vanessa who made our stay exceptionally soecial by giving us an upgrade to the best room that we have ever stayed in!! Two amazing rooms from Sunset Villa!! And it doesn’t stop there, we were given complimentary wine from the owner !! Thank You for this wonderful gesture! You have made our stay very special and memorable and for the efforts your staff has made …. They ALL deserve praise and acknowledgement. You are doing a great job and making all your guest have an amazing stay!!

Wir - mein 20-jähriger Sohn & ich - waren zu zweit auf Borneorundreise & legten einen Stop in Mabul ein, um etwas zu tauchen. Unsere Wahl für die Unterkunft fiel auf die Mabul Paradies Lodge. Sehr authentisch. Toller Gastgeber David (The Boss) mit extrem freundlichem & hilfsbereitem Personal. Alle Tauchgänge wurden perfekt organisiert & der Tauchlehrer Eddie & sein Dive Master Nelson waren klasse. Das landestypische asiatische Essen war top & konnte durch den Kauf von frisch gefangenen Meeresfrüchten & Fischen toll aufgewertet werden. Die Meeresfrüchte & Fische wurden zur gewünschten Zeit von der hauseigenen Küche extrem lecker zubereitet. Manchmal steht auch David selbst in der Küche. Bei unserem Aufenthalt hat er Krebse und Riesengarnelen sowie eine chinesische Suppe zubereitet & uns dazu eingeladen mitzuessen. Alles nach Familienrezept; köstlich!!! Wir kommen gerne wieder. Unsere Erwartungen wurden mehr als erfüllt. Wir haben uns bei David & seinem Team sehr wohl gefühlt.

What can I say about this place to do it justice. It simply is heaven on earth. The surroundings are beautiful and what Paolo has achieved here is insane. Every aspect of your stay has been well thought out. The staff are the happiest, most attentive people out there. To understand the beauty of this stay you have to book. Paolo supports 230 Members of a local tribe who perform multiple tasks to service the houseboats. It is a unique and amazing project which you can learn about. The access this accommodation provides to the beautiful snorkelling spots is unbelievable. It is clean and the food is truly 5 stars. I know by posting this positive review will only make it harder for us to revisit as it will become more popular, but the work that has gone into this amazing and it deserves all of the praise. A truly unique and enjoyable stay. Thanks for everything!

A very unique experience in a beautiful location. What Paolo and Lyn are doing for the Tagbanwa tribe is impressive. The staff really care and the service is amazing. Although it’s slightly more expensive than other similar resorts, it’s worth the experience and you’re giving back to the community.

Paolo’s houseboat was great. Spent two days, wish we booked for longer. Paolo’s stuff is the friendliest group of people: waitress, cleaning, island hopping tour capitan… everyone is so nice and friendly. The restaurant is offering Italian and Philippine specialties at the highest quality. Food can be served at the restaurant or as room service in the houseboat dining area. Paolo’s place is surrounded by beautiful blue water and limestone. Highly recommended for someone who appreciate the beauty of nature

Paolyn Houseboat was one of the best and most beautiful places I've ever stayed at. We had the best time! Couldn't have asked for more. Definitely a piece of paradise. Getting to meet and interact with the people from the local tribe was very cool. A special shout out to Wilson and Jom. We had 2 boat excursions with them and they were just brilliant and so much fun. Food is great too! Highly recommended

We enjoyed our weekend away, the private jetty was a hit with our two boys and we enjoyed evenings by the cozy fire. It was a comfortable place to relax. Thanks for having us we’ll definitely be back.

We had such a wonderful time over there, it’s a beautiful home, peaceful and the view is perfect 🩷, highly recommended

I can’t even remember how many times we’ve booked in Aquascape already. It’s really the best place if you want a slow and quiet getaway that’s really close to nature. The unobstructed view of the lake right at your doorstep is definitely worth the travel. They are pet-friendly too. My dogs loved walking on the grass the most and smelling the fresh breeze from the lake. It’s a plus that they have their own swimming pool. Clean rooms with hot water shower. Peaceful at night. Would definitely come back.

We had the most wonderful little get away at this special place. Our time was spent lying on the deck chairs drinking champagne and watching people pass by, rowing over to the restaurant for dinner, soaking in the outdoor bath and kayaking. Bed was super comfy, shower was lovely and hot. Nothing I would change. We hope to be back in the future!

What a great experience to stay at Karl & Maureen’s house boat. We participated in the Ironman 70.3 event so this location was really convenient for our needs, yet still way from the crazy crowds so we could relax. The house boat was comfortable and had everything we needed. Major bonus to be able to swim off the back of the boat.

Ne vous fiez pas aux photos, la réalité est encore mieux! Un lieu paradisiaque, l'impression de vivre loin de tout, sauf de la bonne humeur de Daniel que nous remercions encore chaleureusement pour tous ces temps de partage bien pensés car il sait aussi être discret. Encore merci à toi Daniel pour ces fabuleux moments sur cette pirogue qui fait tant rêver. Au grand plaisir de te revoir🙏.

Superbe expérience avec nos 2 jeunes filles. Posés au milieu d’une baie, avec une vue à coupé le souffle, c’est vraiment quelque chose à vivre. Merci Daniel pour tes conseils et ton hospitalité

Nous avons vécu une expérience tout simplement EXTRAORDINAIRE! Tout est réuni pour passer un séjour unique et inoubliable. Le service est irréprochable : à la fois proactif, attentionné et très professionnel, toujours avec le sourire. L’environnement est exceptionnel, paisible et magnifiquement préservé. Tout est parfaitement organisé, que ce soit les repas, les excursions ou la logistique. Le restaurant sur l’eau est un vrai coup de cœur : les plats sont délicieux, préparés avec des produits de qualité, et les prix sont très abordables. Les excursions proposées sont également superbes, bien encadrées, et permettent de découvrir des lieux incroyables. Nous avions hésité à venir avec nos deux enfants de 15 et 7 ans, mais cela a finalement été une expérience exceptionnelle pour toute la famille. Nous repartons avec des souvenirs plein la tête. Nous recommandons cette expérience les yeux fermés à tous ceux qui recherchent l’authenticité, la beauté, et le calme. Un immense merci!

It was all amazing…we loved it. Weather was bad, but that’s not Ken’s fault. Love that the tavern and grocery stores are right outside!

Marie's place is just as it's listed it has a beautiful overview of the ocean beyond Getty port as she is in a fishing community she has a beautiful place overlooking the fishing port where you are able to buy fresh fish literally that comes off the boat, her family reach you and treat you like your family she's responsive to your needs and you have to remember it's the Philippines and it's a Filipino family and you feel like your ride at home air conditioning was nice ice coolers were available and anything that you needed that's not in the listing she is to probably help you out with

We had a wonderful couple of days at Renmark, so fabulous to have my feet in the river, watching the birds and the jumping fish. Kayak provided was used to have a slow up close paddle up the river. Local water skiers provided entertainment too. Morning serenade by the kookaburras was very special. Very close to the city centre, 5 minute walk . A fabulous short trip, will stay again but for longer!
