About this experience

This houseboat provides a one of a kind away from home experience that cannot be found in any other parts of Hong Kong. With an area of approximately 2,100 sq. ft., it features one King bed Master Suite, two Queen bedrooms, and one single bed sofa. The houseboat rental serves pleasure purposes and can also be used as a private and elevated party room.

From the stay, you will be brought back in time at the heart of a fishing village where traditional life still thrives. You will see heritage homes of the old Tanka people, fishing vessels, wooden boats, and sampans, reflecting the small fishing village Hong Kong once was.

Enjoy a complimentary sightseeing sampan tour of Hong Kong’s oldest major fishing harbour with multilingual audio guides. Visit an authentic houseboat, try traditional activities, taste classic Tanka “boat noodles”, and stroll through the nearby “Dawn Seafood Market” in the morning for a truly immersive maritime experience.
