Film star Keira Knightley no longer needs to stay in expensive hotels as she can now stay on her own house boat, The Sun reported today.

The British actress commonly known for her role in Pirates Of The Caribbean, has secretly rented a floating house boat with her boyfriend Rupert Friend on a waterway in London's East End.

The couple have kept a low-profile existence on the small boat since moving in ealier this year, and, according to neighbours, have embraced life on the water.

"They've hired the boat until the summer and they seem really happy," a nearby resident said.

"They spend most weekends on it, brewing up pots of tea. They're a very sweet couple.

However, it is unlikely that they will remain on the floating home, as Keira is scheduled to be in the United States in February to promote the film, Last Night.
