We recently traveled from Victoria and hired one of the largest houseboats from Ables. Five bedrooms, each with an ensuite, a fully equipped kitchen and impressive spa on the roof. Overall the experience was beautiful but there were a few things our group felt there could be improvements on. Firstly the towels were old and there weren’t enough for the spa and shower. Secondly all of beds were incredibly uncomfortable and had a dip in them. As we paid close to $7000 for 6 nights, plus petrol, and linin, a comfier bed and better quality sheets and towels would have made a huge difference to the overall experience.

Hired a little motor run about which got us around the area ok. These smaller boats look like they've seen better days and could do with a little TLC, and maybe the boat yard/office could also do with some TLC.

We had a great time in our 4 berth houseboat. It was fully equipped and nothing broke down. The cabin was clean and tidy. Probably the best value for money hire on the Hawksbury.

We arrived at Able Hawkesbury River Houseboats in Wisemans Ferry to be greeted by a tiny older Armenian lady (Hilda) who took us down to the houseboat (2-4 birth) we had booked for us to view. She then took us to the houseboat the next size up to view and explained that my husband (6 foot) could be more comfortable with a little more room. I love a good sales pitch and I LOVED Hilda! Not just because she was upselling me but because she was right. After 4 days we really did need the room and the deck space. Up to the office where Hilda asked what we were planning on doing (fishing) explained where things were on the river, told us where good fishing was, what we needed to know about times and tides, told me not to put anything but toilet paper down the toilet - no ping pong balls (?!?) and sent us on our way. Down to the (larger) boat where a very knowledgeable young man explained to my husband about steering, safety, anchors, tidal flows, ferry edict then turned to me and said only toilet paper down the toilet no wipes or ping pong balls (?!?) then turned back to my husband to explain anchor lights... Then he steered us out waved goodbye and away we went. The photos say it all. Four incredible, glorious, breathtaking, remarkable, words cannot describe days of quiet, peaceful fishing. The houseboat was clean and comfortable with gas stove, hob, kettle, plates, bowls, cutlery, barbque, pots, pans etc. The shower was more than adequate, the toilet did indeed flush paper (I did not try flushing anything else). The couches fold out into a double beds and were comfortable. BUT what was the best, the most fantastic, was the sitting on the front deck while we toodled along. I cannot thank Hilda enough for suggesting the 4-6 birth houseboat. I spent every waking minute on that front deck. I caught two dozen fish on that front deck. (Catch and release.) I watched the dawn on that front deck. I watched dusk on that front deck. I saw swallows dance, fish jump, fog lift, Eucalyptus wave and sunlight kiss and shimmer on the water. Every bend of the Colo was another breathtaking view. At times it was like being in a movie. The four days were over in the blink of an eye. We returned to first wish Hilda a Happy Birthday (she turned 81) and my husband fixed Hilda's computer (funny huh) and explained that our ride back to Sydney had to return to New Zealand and we were stranded. Never fear Hilda was on the phone in a heartbeat rustling up some transport (Davy) to drive us back, while making us a cuppa and checking we left nothing on the boat. So here is what you need to know... 1. Pay a little extra and get a bigger boat - trust me you wont regret it. 2. You will NEVER meet a more lovely woman in your life than Hilda - she is the most genuine, sweet, caring, kind woman alive - hands down. 3. If you are thinking of hiring Able Hawkesbury River Houseboats but sitting on the fence, GET OFF THE FENCE - DO IT. 4. You're welcome - because you'll thank me.

I’ve hired house boats from Able twice. They are very friendly and relaxed. The boats are clean and comfortable. Great way to get away for a weekend.
