This spectacular, eye-catching, dual-deck, open-plan houseboat is guaranteed to impress. Recently renovated throughout, Gum Nut is a Class 4E, six-berth commercial survey hire-drive vessel currently operating in a managed fleet. Whether you're looking to continue a successful business, enjoy as a luxurious floating holiday home, or embrace a unique liveaboard lifestyle, Gum Nut offers outstanding flexibility and exceptional value.
 
From the moment you step aboard you will notice the beautiful hardwood decking, sturdy safety handrails and a fully fibreglass-sealed roof. Expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing creates a light-filled interior while capturing breath-taking panoramic river views from almost every angle.
 
Upon entering, the quality of the recent renovation is immediately apparent. The spacious deckhouse has been thoughtfully designed for relaxed cruising and effortless entertaining. A comfortable portside lounge provides the perfect place to enjoy the scenery, while the modern helm is equipped with Mercury instrumentation and engine controls, Hydrive Admiral Series hydraulic steering, a Garmin depth finder, engine direction gauge, and UHF radio. A second lounge with a sofa bed provides additional accommodation for guests before flowing into the stylish midship galley. The renovated kitchen features a new Chef stove, grill and oven, Westinghouse refrigerator/freezer, Panasonic microwave, quality tapware, generous new benchtops, a practical pantry, and excellent cupboard storage. Completing the open-plan layout is a stern six-seat dining area that seamlessly connects indoor comfort with outdoor living and entertaining.
 
Accommodation is equally impressive, with two generous queen-size walk-around bedrooms, each offering private ensuites, new beds, overhead storage or wardrobe space, and sliding glass door access to the sponson decks. A spacious midship bathroom includes a large moulded dual-head glass shower and vanity, providing additional convenience for guests.
 
The rear deck offers direct access to the swim platform and stairs leading to the fully marine carpeted, Bondor hard covered upper sundeck. This outstanding entertaining space features a two-person spa, comfortable six-seat outdoor dining setting, and elevated river views that create the perfect setting for relaxing with family and friends.
 
Designed for comfortable off-grid cruising, Gum Nut is equipped with off grid 240V electrical system featuring a fully automatic Xantrex DR Series 1.5KW inverter/charger, six 2-volt 900Ah AGM house batteries, six solar panels, and a near-new Max Watt MX6000IS generator. Additional features include 1,500 litres of wastewater storage, an EPA-approved Storm Plastics grey water filtration system, 400 litres of filtered freshwater storage, Daikin reverse-cycle air conditioning, Rinnai Infinity 16 instant gas hot water, Starlink internet, BBQ, Yeti esky, numerous new appliances, fresh bedding changeovers, the list goes on.
 
Propulsion is provided by twin Mercury 40hp Bigfoot EFI four-stroke outboard motors showing currently 3,779 hours, with both engines fully serviced in February 2026. A generous 430-litre fuel tank provides excellent cruising range for extended river adventures.
 
Offered as a genuine walk-in, walk-out opportunity, Gum Nut is fully equipped and ready for immediate enjoyment or commercial operation. The vessel was last slipped and inspected at Long Island Slipway in April 2025, with a successful insurance risk assessment completed by Leo Vette Marine Surveyor. It also holds current Electrical, Gas, EPA wastewater compliances, and commercial survey certification.
 
Commercial survey houseboats of this calibre are rarely offered for sale. Beautifully presented, meticulously maintained, and packed with premium features, Gum Nut represents an outstanding opportunity to secure one of the finest vessels on the river. It will be an absolute pleasure to sell.
