River Activities

Make the most of your stay with Norfolk Holiday Lodges and explore the river Yare in style by renting a wooden canoe!
Discover the beautiful Norfolk Broads at your own pace. Paddle up to a riverside pub, explore and spot the abundance of local wildlife before relaxing back in your cosy waterside lodge.
What we think is even more special is that all canoes are made lovingly by hand by local company Weston Canoes. Midweek, weekend and longer-term rentals available plus delivery to your holiday lodge!
See our blog 10% off canoe rental for our guests for more details.
Details on canoe rental discounts are given upon holiday lodge booking via our online holiday planner and email. Rental is subject to availability and booked directly with Weston Canoes.
Boating on The Broads
Bringing your own boat, canoes, kayaks or paddleboards...
Our holiday lodges are a perfect choice for any mariners out there, each having private quay headed moorings for your own or hired boat at the end of the garden or decking.
In addition, our quiet marina features a free slipway which is available to all of our holiday lodge guests*.
We love to see our guests enjoying our waterside location so bring your own kayaks, paddleboards, canoes and RIBs and launch from your lodge or from the slipway at the marina.
Please bear in mind that the river Yare and it’s water which flows into the marina is tidal.
*Please contact us to ensure our slipway is adequate for your own boat launch requirements. Alternative arrangements can be made at Tingdene, just a stroll away – fees apply.
Please ensure you check the links in the important information section below for exploring the Broads safely and toll fees.
