BEST END OF THE DAY
Every Day Can Be The Best End Of The Day – A Spacious Family Houseboat Built for Comfort and Adventure. If you're searching for a large family houseboat that offers space, comfort and the freedom to enjoy life on the river, Best End Of The Day deserves your inspection. First launched in 2003 and built to survey standard, this beautifully presented houseboat combines quality construction with practical family living, making it equally suited as a weekend escape or a mobile waterfront home.
From the moment you step aboard, you'll appreciate the generous covered stained timber fore and aft decks, complete with safety railings, side access gates and convenient front waste pump-out points. The traditional floorplan has been thoughtfully designed to maximise both living space and functionality.
Entering through the dual glass sliding doors, the modern deckhouse welcomes you with a forward starboard helm featuring Mercury instrumentation and controls, Hydrive Admiral Series hydraulic steering and a Uniden UHF radio. The spacious living area offers a dedicated six-person dining setting, a comfortable lounge and a well-appointed U-shaped kitchen. Year-round comfort is assured with evaporative air conditioning, Rinnai gas heating, plus television and DVD entertainment.
The kitchen is equipped with quality appliances, including a Westinghouse stove, two 234-litre LG fridge/freezers, an LG microwave and an Artusi dishwasher, complemented by generous bench space and ample storage throughout.
A central companionway leads to the accommodation, where three carpeted queen-sized walk-around bedrooms, two feature built-in storage. The private master suite at the stern enjoys direct deck access through glass sliding doors and includes an ensuite with a moulded shower, vanity and household flush toilet.
The main bathroom is spacious and practical, offering a moulded shower, vanity, linen press and household flush toilet. An external third toilet is conveniently located with access from the stern deck, while a portside tool shed could also serve as the laundry with plumbing connections already in place.
An additional stern sunroom provides flexible living space and could easily accommodate a sofa bed for extra guests in lieu of the bunks. Complete with a privacy curtain, it offers another excellent entertaining or relaxation area, with direct access to the stern deck via glass sliding doors.
Outdoor living is a highlight aboard Best End Of The Day. The expansive covered stern deck provides comfortable seating and dining areas with easy access to the swim platform. A staircase leads to the impressive fibreglass upper sundeck, complete with a canopy shade, creating the perfect place to relax, entertain or simply enjoy uninterrupted panoramic river views.
