FAQ - Teichquartier houseboat rental

Is there Wi-Fi on the houseboat?

Yes, both houseboats are equipped with Wi-Fi.

Where can I park?

You can drive directly to the houseboat to load and unload your luggage comfortably. The car park is located approx. 200 m from the houseboat.

Can I travel by train?

Yes, arriving by train in an environmentally friendly way is easily possible. Studenzen-Fladnitz station is only about 1.5 km away and is also a great starting point for day trips to Graz. We will pick you up from the station free of charge — just let us know in advance.

Arrival and departure times?

Check-in from 15:00.
Check-out until 10:00.

Are pets allowed on the houseboat?

Dogs are welcome on our houseboat.

Can you swim in the pond?

If you love natural water, you can jump straight from the terrace into the pond. For those who prefer crystal-clear natural water: the Kirchberger Seerosenbad is only 300 m away — houseboat guests have free entry.

Is there a SUP or canoe at the pond?

Yes! A SUP and a two-seat canoe are moored at a dock on the pond and are available free of charge to guests of both of our houseboats. They are a great way to explore the pond.

Can you go by houseboat?

Our houseboat is basically built for sailing and also has an EU boat permit of category D. At our pond with a length of 200 m and some shallow spots, sailing does not make sense. That is why there is no motor mounted on the houseboat. You have the possibility to explore the pond by canoe or SUP (stand up paddle).

Is the houseboat suitable for children?

The houseboat is situated directly on the water — unfortunately this makes it too dangerous for young children. We recommend a stay with us only for children who are confident swimmers.

Is it possible to fish there?

Fishing is not possible at our ponds. There are some fishing opportunities in the surrounding area.

Can I bring my own SUP or canoe?

If you enjoy water sports, we kindly ask you to leave your own SUPs, canoes, other watercraft and inflatable mattresses at home. These could carry dangerous diseases that would endanger the entire fish stock of our fish farm and could result in a total loss of the fish harvest.

What kind of coffee machine is on board?

The houseboat is equipped with a Melitta filter coffee machine — you will need ground coffee for it. For your first cups, the houseboat is already stocked with coffee, and plenty of matching filters are provided too.

When it gets cold: is there heating?

The houseboat is equipped with electric underfloor heating, which provides a cosy 22°C in the boat down to -5°C outside temperature. If it gets even colder, the air conditioning can support the electric underfloor heating.

Can you drink the water from the water pipe in the houseboat?

Our houseboat has two water supply systems: a water tank with frost protection for the water supply in winter and a direct water connection to the local water supplier. Even though the water might technically be drinkable, we generally do not recommend using it as drinking water.

Are mosquitoes a problem?

No! There are also no more mosquitoes than usual in the area. The fish in the pond prefer to eat the larvae of the mosquitoes, so that only very few mosquitoes make it to the stage where they can fly. In addition, windows and the balcony door are equipped with insect screens, so that no insects can get inside at night. And should you forget to close the insect screen door, there is a mosquito plug in the boat.
