RAFFLES @ JCM

It is a long way from the renowned Raffles Hotel in Singapore, but relaxing on magical Lake Eildon sipping your favourite bubbles on the back deck of a holiday home on the water is where I would rather be.

Raffles presents as a lovely entry level holiday home for a family commencing the journey on magical Lake Eildon.

With the fresh paint work and the vibrant colours Raffles is certainly inviting. Walk onboard, she is bright and spacious with plenty of windows to let the magic into the houseboat.

To the front is the Helm and a fold out double bed. The concertina door provides privacy of a night time. The middle section provides comfortable living area. Sit up to the breakfast bar and enjoy the views whilst dining or relax on the couch to watch the TV. This couch clicks down to become an double bed when you have extras for the weekend.

The kitchen with servery, cooktop, air fry oven, electric fridge, pantry and sink will enable you to prepare great meals to keep hungry mouths quiet. Then there is the BBQ on the front deck.

The main bedroom provides double ¾ walkaround bed with a rear view plus the side wardrobe and overhead cupboards. The bathroom has had an upgrade with new vanity and shower. The toilet has been converted from an external toilet to be part of the bathroom.

The rear deck on Raffles is a feature with plenty of room to enjoy the views whilst sipping your bubbles. External stairs that are easy to walk up; certainly not a ladder; take you to the top deck which is in excellent condition. The camber on the roof enables the water to run off easily. Enjoy the sun or there is the steel frame to put up the canopy.

You might notice the Tender in the pictures. This is included in the Sale Price. It is a Toppercraft Dingy with a brand new Suzuki 10hp motor, new canopy, battery & bilge pump with solar panel and under floor fuel tank.

Raffles is powered by a 4-cylinder Mercruiser motor. The Solar Electrics have been upgraded with a Victron Energy Phoenix 2000watt Inverter, 7 large solar panels + 2; all feeding a 300AH Lithium House Battery. This is backed up by a Honda EU20i Generator.

Raffles was last out of the water in 2022 to service the hull. There are photos on file of underneath the houseboat.

Raffles is priced as an entry level houseboat that is very well presented for a family to begin the magical journey on Lake Eildon making those special memories that will last a lifetime; don’t wait and miss the opportunity to make those memories.
