Some may have seen this in photos before, but no photo does it justice; or shows you the awesomeness quite like when you are standing directly on the side of the boat and within metres of this brilliant carving.

I took a small boat that served treats, pizza and wine. Although travelling alone I was able to meet people on this trip very easily. I went on the Ernest Kemp Steamboat. Such character and lovely staff.

5/5 Excellent

"Very reasonably priced accommodation, not too far from town and things to do but also plenty of good recreational options if you didnt want to venture out with the gym being one of the better equipped hotel gyms ive tried. A bit dated but thats reflected in the price, staff were great"
