Sun yourself or fish & crab from the Pontoon with your pooch

Canal living is sooo relaxed. Whether you are playing pool on the genuine slate top pool table or relaxing in the self contained bar area you will love the atmosphere of Boathound Bribie.
You can moor your boat on your own pontoon (non shared) & guests receive a "swipe card" on arrival to allow access to the canal, giving exceptional security for your boat while you enjoy the delights & very easy access to the bribie passage and the fishing grounds further afield, if you wish.
Max. length for craft using the canal is 12.2 m (40 ft.) with under bridges at half tide of 3.3 m (10 ft.) above waterline.
Only 1 boat per group is allowed access to the canal but a second may be parked on the footpath or in the driveway. There are ample Boat ramps in the area

Easy commute to Brisbane if needs be!
Air Con Dryer/Dryer is PAYG. not included in tariff.
Bribie Island is an eco tourists delight. The lovely undulating terrain makes it easy to go for extended walks on the numerous walkways, laze on the beach or pontoon, fish or crab in the canals, or, if you are so inclined the further afield fishing grounds are within easy reach without having to cross a dangerous bar.
For those not so inclined there are TV's, and plenty of interesting reading to keep you occupied, without leaving the house.
Other island attractions include, a Seaside Musuem Public libary, movie theatre,2 golf courses 3 Bowls Clubs, 2 Hotels, an RSL surf club numerous Restaurants All on Bribie, plus Woolworths, Aldi and IGA ,Shoping Centres .

Loved the location, the house was comfortable, except having to put $2 for 4 hours of cooling on a hot week. Also a bit of a slog having to bring our own linen. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and loved being able to bring the dogs 👍

holiday
We have never had to pay for the use of a air-conditioner, or clothes dryer in a holiday house, thats ridiculous. An in this generation you usually have internet services available. The mattress had mould on it. The gate leading to the jetty is a major safety issue, as it had no pool gate latch, so little children good easily drown. Photos of this home on your site are very disappointing. We will be going through a real estate next time, as it is cheaper an you know what you are getting.

Bribie Getaway with our best buddy.
Enjoyed the quiet and relaxing time here. Some appliances need updating. Not all Channels available on TV but that may have been because of rain. SBS is our favourite Channel and it was playing up. Still would recommend as a nice place to stay.

Peaceful retreat
Lovely big home with room to escape each other if needed. Very peaceful, close to everything, awesome bird song morning and night. My little Westie loved the garden. Very enjoyable ***** Would suggest an upgrade to the refrigerator as can be very loud. A squeaky living area lounge could do with upgrade. Clean utensils above stove top.

Ideal property for large family
Great location if you have boat. Pontoon is great. House is large and having 2 bathrooms is great. We have not have to take our own sheets, linen, towels, dishwashing liquid before to holiday accommodation. Disappointing not to have wifi supplied. Hosts were helpful.

Boat at the end of the garden
We had a wonderful time staying at "Boat Hound". The house is well equipped,spacious and comfortable. Best of all dog friendly, and on a canal. We were able to moor our boat there. We fished off the pontoon but did not catch anything... We hope to stay there again.
