Peacock Houseboats

This house boat is value for money. It is very nice and well maintained house boat. Fantastic room interior, very clean and beautiful place. The location and view from houseboat is very good. The place is quiet and less crowded than dal lake area. All the facilities are well managed. Hotel staff is friendly and they try to make extra efforts to make your stay comfortable. We were two couple and stayed in this house boat for one night on 10th October 2015(Later we realized if we could stay 2 days at least). We booked MAP plan so, the dinner table was well decorated and food quality was good. Unbeatable service from staff. We felt VIP treatment like everything is arranged for us only. Breakfast was also good test. Hot water is available. If you need hotel staff, just press bell button near your bad and they will appear instantly. We feel very personal touch in peacock house boat. It’s memorable stay. Everything was above the expectations. I would recommend this house boat to all who wish to stay in house boat & want to enjoy the comfort in quite place. Peacock has 3 rooms in each house boat & they had 16 house boat in total. Thanks to the staff & management :) keep it up!!!

The main thing to note is that Peacock Houseboat is not one but a group of houseboats (20 odd perhaps), all closely docked together, but essentially operated separately, borrowing from the same brand name like a franchise. Our experience was still great, but there is variability across houseboats, some of which are larger and better equipped than the others. Perhaps the most significant bottomline then is that book any houseboat in NIGEEN LAKE (not Dal) on the edge of the lake opposite from the Nigeen Club for greater serenity and you'd have similar awesome experiences. This means WelcomHeritage, Peacock, Mag. Sheraton etc are all similar - though some are bigger boats than the others. Don't stay in the Dal Lake, but do splurge on a shikara ride that takes you through Dal settlements AND Nigeen over a couple of hours. For where we stayed the food and the service was great. So was the experience of sitting on the deck facing the peaceful lake, reading a book and sipping kahwa or eating maggi.

Booked 1 Night in Dec 2016 but stayed 2 more nights as couldn't leave because of the ambience, service & Food. Staff was very attentive and cooperative. Good was delicious and as per our requirement. Shikara crossing from gate to houseboat was complimentary provided by the houseboat. Owner Raheel Bhai, Was very humble and informative for our rest of trip. He guided us and made other arrangements like cab, hotel in Gulmarg and Pahalgam at very good deals. I must say he has very good hold and respected name all over Kashmir. Houseboat was very warm and cozy despite outside temperature going down to -6 degrees. Thanks to Tanveer & Heaters in Room we had a good sleep. I must say it's value for money. Keep the good work going 👍🏻👍🏻

This is one of the best houseboats if you are looking for peace and isolation,Away from a city life. Will definitely rejuvenate you. you must stay minimum for 3days. Best hospitality and caretaker, Owner or the houseboat is Mr. Bashir ahmed is gem of a person always there for fulfulling all the demand of ours, his behavior made us feel at home, Plus his son's name Rahil and Yakoob were very nice too. They made sure for our comfort and safety all the time. That was my second trip in within 3months. and we are already planning for the 3rd visit in the month of january.
