Houseboats
Holiday on your own houseboat
Of all your South Australian accommodation options, a houseboat holiday has to be on your wish list. It's an experience you shouldn't miss. There's no better way to see the mighty Murray River, one of the world's great wartercourses.
This is where you get to don the captain's hat. Chart the waters at your own pace and pause whenever the scenery takes your breath away. The houseboat is your own little holiday hub, a centre for fishing, friends, watersports, dining and sightseeing.
Search for a Houseboat
Use the handy red search boxes (left) to find the right houseboat for you. Choose your region - 'Murraylands' or 'Riverland'. When you receive your results, you can sort by 'houseboat'. Each individual houseboat page has all the contact, price and booking information you need.
