Waterway Houseboats a home away from home

This unique holiday on Shuswap Lake will create a lifetime of memories

-

When you need to get away from the noisy bustle of city life, it can be tricky to find an escape for the whole family to enjoy, one that transports you from that stale office cubicle, to nature-secluded bliss.

The trick is finding a location that feels like a well-kept secret - one that’s easy to get to, but that makes you never want to leave. This dream-worthy summer vacation exists with Waterway Houseboats, and it’s one of the best weekend getaways on Shuswap Lake.

The unique area of the Shuswap offers some of the most stunning views in British Columbia. The beauty and calmness of the lake and the surroundin­g evergreen encrusted mountains provide a relaxing and soulfillin­g experience for you, your friends, and family to all enjoy. Shuswap Lake offers over 1,000 kilometres of shoreline and 309 square kilometres of lake that’s perfect for summer dips, watersport­s and is big enough for everyone to enjoy without feeling crowded.

For a truly unforgetta­ble experience, we recommend renting the ultimate in houseboats from Waterway Houseboats. Waterway’s fleet features luxurious comfort and endless amenities, including large decks for lounging in the summer sun or dancing under the star-filled night sky.

Their fleet of 60 houseboats features over a dozen different models and sizes; everything for an intimate getaway with a few of your friends, hosting a corporate retreat, or bringing the whole family with boats able to accommodat­e up to 30 people in a single vessel. Each houseboat is equipped with a hot tub on deck, a water slide into the lake, fully equipped home-style kitchens, a fireplace to cozy up to in the evenings, a TV/DVD player and Sirius radio for your entertainm­ent as well as a fish finder to help with catching dinner.

The knowledgea­ble Waterway Houseboats dock staff will instruct you on all aspects of your houseboat operation to ensure you have smooth sailing.

The Shuswap region is not only famous for being the Houseboati­ng Capital of Canada, but also for the area’s golf courses, and biking and hiking trails – there are over 675 kilometres of them. If you didn’t bring a bike, that’s no problem. The folks at Waterway Houseboats have an Activity Centre with plenty of water and land recreation­al equipment to rent. Waterway’s value rates are in effect from June 9 through to July 6 and from August 22 to September 3. Peak season is July 7 to August 21 and fall rates apply from September 4 to September 30.
