I was looking for a quiet, peaceful, away from the hustle and bustle houseboat stay. This one fit the bill, perfectly. I was visiting Kashmir with my extended family including kids. We stayed at a New Jacquline Heritage houseboat for 1 night and we had a wonderful time. We loved the hand crafted wooden interior. It gave a royal look. Rooms and bathrooms were very clean. If you want a more luxurious experience I’d recommend renting the room on the terrace (penthouse). Late evening, we went on the Shikara. Majid, our attender helped us rent the Shikara rides. Majid is the best attender you can ask for. He is extremely courteous, helpful, and kind. After each meal, especially dinner, he would stay up late and clean all the dishes. He is an awesome host (Is this “Kashmiriyat” ?). The Shikara boat drivers hired by Majid were also great. They explained to us about the floating garden, and the organic farming that is being done on the lake. They also showed us the islands in the lake that were inhabited by the local people. If you are staying at New Jacqueline Heritage houseboats, I’d highly recommend getting the Shikara rides suggested by Majid. The manager and the owner were also very courteous. They called me find out if I needed anything. Also, there is a Kashmiri art and Shawl store owned by Aamir behind the houseboat which is great as well. We bought some awesome shawls from this store. Overall, we had a great time and felt 1 night was too short. I will definitely go back to stay here, maybe during March/April next time. I have attached some pics as well, one taken with Majid, our attender.

It was nothing short of amazing! The hosts were so warm, the interiors were marvellous, the boat had an antique warm and lovable charm. We instantly fell in love with the location, overseeing the beautiful nageen lake. Food was delicious. We had planned for a day but overstayed! Loved how it was the perfect location to enjoy a hot cup of kahwa and read my favourite books! Also, the rooms were spacious, beautiful done and squeaky clean.

The stay was one of the best experiences i have ever had. The hospitality was great and rooms were very well maintained. The behaviour of staff was very sweet and view was exceptional too. Definitely should give it a try everything including view, stay, food everything was well taken care of.
