''Linda’s AirBnB was amazing. In fact it’s going to make bookings in the future difficult as they will have to live up to this one!

Linda greeted us personally when we arrived, in the rain on a wet and windy night, and gave us a tour of Tamanzi and made sure we had everything we needed. 

The houseboat itself is fully featured with everything you’d need for a weekend or longer getaway. It includes a sauna, four poster bed, bath, shower as well as a hot tub which is extra. All of that means you can use Tamanzi as a base to explore all the surrounding areas (we went on a 15 mile circular walk along the Thames and back through Bushy Park) or just relax on the outdoor decking and feed the ducks.''

''Wow! Tamanzi is an absolute hidden gem! Our stay was wonderful, on the most beautiful houseboat, on a gorgeous little island on the river Thames. The interior of Tamanzi really does have the wow factor. Everything was just gorgeous. Linda was the most amazing host going above and beyond with home baked treats in the kitchen, lovely bathroom products and even a lift to the train station! Staying on the island was so peaceful. The walk into the town is a lovely 15-20 minute stroll where you’ll find Hampton Court Palace, some bars and pubs and the train station which takes about half an hour into Waterloo. We loved our stay and even though we had a very busy weekend,  coming and going from either the town or the city centre, once we were back on Tamanzi it felt relaxing and peaceful. We would highly recommend a stay!''

''This is a 5 star boutique hotel but with lots more room...and better as you don't have to share it with any one  unless of course you include the swans and ducks.  Better than the photos and in just a fabulous tranquil location only 10 minutes walk to a great pub and plenty of restaurants.   Railway station just over Hampton Court bridge for frequent trains to London.

It is clear Linda has put her heart and soul into this home not just with the quality of the finish and fittings but the numerous little touches and treats. Huge and extremely comfortable bed and fabulous bathroom.  Wish we could have stayed a lot longer. We will come back. Fabulous."

"Truly a hidden gem absolutely a stunning houseboat everything you needed was there plus a lot more.

Location was fabulous, private, peaceful and even with heavy rainfall the lagoon displayed its magic of a perfect picture creating a lasting impression.

I have stayed in many Airbnb’s and Linda’s houseboat is by far the best place I have stayed in I cannot recommend this enough five stars in every aspect could not fault this wonderful houseboat 

Linda is a superb host and made you feel so welcome.

Cannot wait to return"

'Tamanzi Taggs is the most wonderful floating home. The boat ride along the river with Captain Mark was breathtaking. Linda’s baked treats were a delight! 

The surroundings and wildlife made the trip even more special. I could say soo much more but wouldn’t want to spoil the surprises that this trip has to offer! So much attention to detail, really couldn’t have asked for anything more. 

Will definitely return in the future. The hot tub is a must.''

Abbie, England

''From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed.  Tamanzi is a perfect place to stay. Everything you could want is here, if you think of it, it's there!  Beautifully decorated and so very comfortable.

Linda and Mark were welcoming and very kind.  We were taken on a boat trip to see the local area that evening, which was perfect.  We relaxed fully and had some lovely walks in Bushy Park which is close by.  Taggs island has a wonderful magic that encourages you to relax.  We loved feeding the ducks, coots and swans that came to visit.

We look forward to returning soon!''

Helen, Hastings

''Without a doubt this was the best airbnb I've stayed in and the best experience I've ever had at an Airbnb. My friend and i had the best stay and made some truly special, magic memories!

The sauna is unreal and hot tub were incredible, definitely a must!! 

Linda and Captain Jones were so lovely and helpful. We used the kayaks for a sunset trip up the river and again in the morning...which was just so amazing. I can't wait to go back again!''

Jane, London

"Tamanzi Taggs was an absolute dream! It's undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places we've ever stayed. The owner's attention to detail and hospitality were exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcomed. Fresh bread, muffins, and an array of treats awaited us, setting the tone for a perfect getaway. 

The houseboat was immaculate, with every comfort imaginable. Plush bathrobes, slippers, and high-quality toiletries added a touch of luxury. We loved unwinding in the sauna after a day of exploring. As avid paddle boarders, we were in heaven with the location.."

Marsha, London

''Staying at Linda’s beautiful home, Tamanzi at Tagg’s Island was the best decision I’ve made this year to relax and unwind. She’s an incredible host who’s not only accepted a very short notice booking but made it feel very special and was ready to host the stay in no time. I will definitely be coming back here not only for how beautiful and serene the place/area is but for how amazing Linda is at hosting her guests and her attention to detail.''
