FLOATING HOME EXTENSIONS · MADE ON THE GOLD COAST

Your
waterfront,
extended.

Three finished, marine-grade spaces: a guest Studio, a glass Pavilion and an open-air Terrace. Each is towed up your canal and moored beside your pontoon. No building work at home.

See a Driftroom moored at any Gold Coast address

Free and no obligation. We check the water, the pontoon and the fit, then send you a brochure for that address.

Mooring lines, cleats and fenders between the Driftroom Pavilion and the home pontoon

MOORING

Moored, not built.

A Driftroom ties up alongside your existing pontoon with mooring lines, cleats and fenders, like a boat. Nothing is built on your land.

  • —Fenders keep a steady gap to the pontoon
  • —Boats can still moor on its outer side
  • —Untied and towed away whenever you need

Waterway and mooring rules still apply. We check each berth and tell you what applies before you commit.

FOR REAL ESTATE AGENTS

Put a Driftroom on the listing.

We install a Studio, Pavilion or Terrace for the campaign. It becomes part of the sale and is paid for at settlement.

See the agent programme

Questions, answered.

It ties up alongside your existing pontoon with mooring lines, cleats and fenders. Nothing is bolted to your land, and boats can still moor on its outer side.
