Description
*****Please read all the way to the bottom *before* booking. The information will help you know a lot about our place…
If you want to know the availability of both rooms on the boat, you can check out the rooms’ calendar here as below:
https://www.wimdu.com/offers/CB0ZR42O(Medium Room on the boat)
https://www.wimdu.com/offers/3120BKIQ (Suite Room on the boat)
------------------------------------------------------------
The Information about Moksha:
Hong Kong is a great city but with very limited space, it makes it difficult to live if you come from open places. Having a 6 feet by 2 feet balcony in Hong-Kong means throwing millions more and a sea view is something only thousands of dollar/night can buy you.
The host (Saral) lives with his Chinese girlfriend (Sweety) and the helper (Siti) on the boat. Besides the master bedroom and the helper room, there are 2 extra bedrooms on the boat available for guest short-term stay. You are checking the medium room on this page; if you also want to check out the suite room pictures and information, please visit https://www.wimdu.hk/offers/3120BKIQ
Only for those, who would like to make their holiday special and experience "the life on a boat", we are offering 2 rooms to rent. Our boat is called Moksha ((website hidden)-it) and was built in 1993. The boat has been restored and converted into comfortable houseboat in Oct 2010, with classic Chinese wooden decoration. It's moored in Aberdeen on Hong Kong Island. It's just 2 minutes to famous Jumbo Restaurant; 5 minutes to Ocean Park, 15 minutes by bus to Jockey Club (Horse races-every Wednesday), Wan-Chai, Causeway-Bay and Deep-Water-Bay beach. 25 minutes by bus (with regular traffic) to Central and Stanley Beach. We are parked in Hong-Kong Island and next to Bus terminal and taxi station so transportation is very easy.
The Room Conditions:
On this page, you can see the bedroom pictures. This is a 70 square feet bedroom at the lower deck of the boat with medium size wardrobe and drawers, reading light, clean pillows and quilt. The bed linens are changed once in 3 days but will provide fresh on your arrival. Our helper will daily clean and make your bedroom, washroom/bathroom. Any additional services such as laundry and ironing can be arranged with her directly. There will be HKD50 per day if you require the laundry service. The guest bathroom is outside the room. This medium bedroom can accommodate for 2 persons (a couple), for extra 1 or 2 persons can stay in the TV room. TV room has a small double bed, which can accommodate 1 adult or 2 kids. The TV room is open but with a curtain to close on the bedside, please refers to pictures for details if you are 3 or 4 persons in your trip. For a trip with 4 -5 persons, we will help you reserve 2 rooms with the TV room. (For the kid under 10 years old we do not charge extra.)
We Offer:
Basic breakfast such as cereals, bread-toast, tea, coffee will also be provided. We usually cook Chinese, Indian, Indonesian food or BBQ on the boat and will also invite you too join but please do not consider this mandatory or included in your room rent.
For food, there are few nice restaurants around our place; there is a great and cheap Thai food near by (only 10 walk), authentic fish market (where you can choose fresh sea food and take to kitchen for cooking). The details we will tell you on your arrival. And guests are also welcome to bring their food and cook in the kitchen.
Transportation to the Boat:
From the airport to our place, it takes around 40 minutes by Taxi & costs around HKD350. If you want a local/cheaper option, then first take the airport express train (HK$100 per person) from the airport to Hong Kong Station (Central- last stop) then take a bus (HKD4.7 per person) from outside the train station (Exchange Square bus terminal) to the last stop (Shum Wan road bus terminal) near our home. Or you can take a taxi (HKD80) after you arrive Central. The pier is next to the bus terminal, you can take the water taxi to the boat. It is only 5 minutes away from the pier to the boat. The water taxi runs 24 hours and cost HKD7 per person in the day time, HKD10 per person in the night time and HKD20 per person after mid-night.
The direction with full details & reference pictures will be sent to you by email a week before your check in date.
Pet:
We have 2 British Short Hair breed cats on the boat, the grey one call Shiva and the white one called Apple. Shiva is a boy, he understand what you are talking about but he never care. He hate people hug and touch him but if you do it, he will not against it. Apple is a girl she always likes to follow people and want people touch her, but do not try to hug her, as she will fight back. The cats are not allowed into the guest room. If the cats try to go into your room and you are not happy about it, just tell them go out and they will run out straight away.
The Last Thing:
I will recommend you also check out our house rules from the website and we look forward to see you on Moksha.
Tips for booking:
1. You can direct make the reservation from Airbnb, select the right check in and check out date, the number of persons, then settle the payment. After you have done it, a confirmation email will be sent to you and the booking record will be updated to our calendar automatically. The owner has no right to change your booking date after the booking has been confirmed, if you found out the booking date is not the one you expect from the booking confirmation, please contact Airbnb immediately to help you change the date.
2. After you make the reservation, the host will send the full direction to your Airbnb registry email address.
3. If you have any special requirement, please let us know and we will try our best to arrange. In case any extra cost for any special arrangement, we'll advise you in advance.

Michel & Dini -
Quit an experience! The boat lays in the Aberdeen harbour, closeby the 'floating restaurants'...
April 2012 -
JiYi -
Cosy(quite old wooden) boat with great night view. The helper Siti is very kind. Free breakfast is another good point. Bad point is the bed - is too hard and pillow was to low for me(worse than hostel bed in Mongkok). I had serious waist pain next day. And they are on renovation currently. very noisy in the morning from 8am. There was no prior notice on it.

kaysin -
a very different and unique stay. I actually witness another side of Hong Kong. No more the the busy city but just the calm sea. The host is very warm, friendly and helpful too.

Cancellation Policy: Strict
7 days prior
Partial refund
5% refund*
Example:
Friday
Friday 12pm
You will be refunded half of the booking amount if you cancel the booking at least 7 days before check-in (by 12 noon, local time). For cancellations that are made less than 7 days before check-in, you will be refunded 5%* of the booking amount. Please note that the Wimdu service charge of 12% is non-refundable.
Example
If the guest pays a total amount of €112 and cancels more than 7 days prior to check-in, they would receive a refund of €50. If the guest cancels less than 7 days prior to check-in, they would receive €5.*Subject to proof by the guest that the host has experienced significantly less economic damage than the compensation granted by the cancellation policy. Economic damage to the host might be reduced by cost savings; for example, if the space in question is left vacant, or if the space is rented out to someone else after the cancellation.
