Among the residents of the community is Hamish McKenzie. An imaginative houseboat renovator, he’s incorporated his wacky and creative personality to create a truly spectacular home.

The community has a rich history of its own, dating back nearly a century to the 1920s.Every boat along the bay is different; engaging clutter spreads out from their gangplanks, from letterboxes made from old microwaves to ingenious tiny gardens.
