Best fun we ever have! We live near by year round and we enjoy the water park often! So fun! So funny! We've been enjoying the water park for years. Since my kids were very young. They loved it then and they love it now even as teens. ... I mean, I'm 40 a lame (typically) but, I even love to bounce off this shit! 10/10 would recommend read more

UPDATE: Some time after I wrote my first review of this company, the owner Brant contacted me and voiced his concern about my poor review, and my bad experience with Sunshine. He mentioned that he's addressing all the safety concerns that I listed (which is the reason I was incensed enough to write the review in the first place) and he seems like he's trying really hard to make things better. I can't say for sure that all the necessary changes have been made, but maybe they have. I'd advise that if you go houseboating with these guys, make doubly sure your boat has had an oil change, and that you have cell coverage on the lake. Then you'll most probably be fine. read more

We just completed a 4 day excursion and I feel that Sunshine Houseboats needs a vast improvement. The boat which we had was the largest of the fleet and according to the website was the 22 passenger Suntastic. It's actually called the stubble jumper which is more appropriate. It is and old unit, the water heater didn't work the whole trip. We broke down once requiring a mechanic to come out and change the starter to get us started then another time where a mechanic had to come out and fix an alarm that kept going off. Each time we started the engine we were not sure it would start because the batteries were not charging properly. The boat is just old, the front of the fridge had fallen off and just had the insulation liner on it. During a windstorm the boat started rocking and a wooden panel above the fridge fell off and hit one of our passengers. "Queen beds" we're basically 3 inch thick mats. One of them was over a transformer that keptbuzzing. The Beds in the "Cuddies" we're basically mats on the floor under the other beds. The kids climbed in there but it would be tough for an adult. One of the bathrooms had a toilet seat that looks like the ones you see in an outhouse,it is so stained it cannot be scrubbed clean. Speaking of cleanliness the overall unit was not cleaned properly. It was given a quick wipe down before we boarded. We had 17 people on board, 5 of them kids and it was crowded so I can't imagine 22 adults. For 1500.00 dollars a day it was a disappointment! The only positive was the staff. They were very helpful and trying to do the best they could with what they had to work with. Steve Martin Greenwood BC read more

This year, as we have the last 2 years, we have taken 60 staff from all over the province for 3 days of fun at Lake Kookanusa with Sunshine Houseboats. Once again another great experience. Brant and Diane (the big chiefs) always go the extra mile. We took care this year not to do any damage, which I can say was appreciated by Brant! Only hitch again was our own with a false alarm emergency call we had to make in the middle of the night. Brant and Malcolm took an hour and half boat trip in the pitch black at 1am to come to our rescue! I dont think they slept that night. This event is one of the highlights of the year. Def. worth checking out Brant and Diane's operation. Good times to be had. Leighton Healey, Calgary read more
