Winter wonderland on the Murray River

Jul 19, 2013, updated May 09, 2025

Not just a summer destination, the majestic Murray River offers cosy holiday options this winter. From affordable two-berth houseboats to six-berth luxury houseboats, there’s something suitable for family holidays, romantic getaways and even big groups of friends. One of the luxuries of house boating in winter is the ability to pull up along the river bank and set up a campfire for the night. Gather around the flames and tell tall stories while toasting marshmallows. Immerse yourself in nature and the peacefulness of the river as it flows from Renmark in the north down to the Murray Mouth in the south and out to the ocean. Cruise past spectacular cliffs and watch a sun set that is a photographer’s dream. Don’t forget to berth the houseboat and explore inland every now and then too – you’ll discover gems such as the Historic Overland Corner Hotel, Wilkadene Micro Brewery and Caudo Vineyards.
