    “Tucked away in the lagoon of Tagg’s Island, the houseboat enjoys a wonderfully tranquil setting with the opportunity to observe a steady flow of aquatic wildlife at close quarters – especially ducks, geese, swans and coots – many with youngsters...”

    “For somewhere that is primarily self catering, Linda's attention to detail was exceptional. We had everything we needed and plenty more to make it feel extra special.”

Relax in this unusual setting of a floating home on the inner lagoon of Taggs Island situated on the river Thames, close to Hampton Court Palace, Richmond & Kingston. Tamanzi offers guests a singular experience of living in urban nature in London. Come and slow down at Tamanzi, immerse yourself in a bit of luxury & enjoy the best of both worlds - London sights & communing with nature.
I am a flamboyant vintage dressing Afrikaans diva who has made Taggs Island her home since 2019. From June 2022 I host other globe trotters, to share our little piece of heaven on the water. I make vintage inspired flower hair accessories and other striking paraphernalia, as a creative outlet on the side (@lilabopcreations). If you stay at Tamanzi I can help arrange adjunct on-site sport massage sessions and, paddleboard lessons. HOUSE RULES: Taggs Island is a private island that is peaceful and a sanctuary for both water fowl and residents. As such no playing of music is allowed outside and guests are kindly asked to be respectful with noise levels. We aim to be good neighbours and to remain considerate with those we are hosting. No smoking or candles allowed inside the floating home or in the immediate area due to its timber structure. No unbooked guests or friends are allowed to visit, without prior written approval by the host, at least 24 hours in advance. Definitely no parties, business or inappropriate activities on site. Breaking the house rules might result in requesting you to leave. Our relationship with our direct neighbours are too precious.
Taggs Island situated on the river Thames, close to Hampton Court Palace, Richmond and Kingston. This is a private island and is home to residents from all ages and walks of life, accessed via a bridge. Just across the bridge is Bushy Park with over 1000 acres, famed for its mix of waterways, gardens, and roaming herds of deer. Further up and down the river you will find little hamlets of shops, restaurants, pubs and modern amenities. Most restaurants also offer take away deliveries to your floating home door. There are easy bus connections to and from Kingston, Richmond and Hampton. The Hampton Court rail station is about 15 minutes’ walk away and is also serviced by a bus stopping just next to the bridge that leads onto Taggs Island. This train route goes straight into Waterloo station via Clapham Junction and Vauxhall so one can be in central London within 30 minutes.
