Houseboating in South Australia

Relax on the tranquil Murray River in South Australia

Cruise among great little riverside towns in your own floating home. Stop for a round of golf at some of the best courses in South Australia or explore charming pioneer villages and internationally renowned bird sanctuaries.

Australia's mighty Murray River winds its way through the heart of the Murraylands, carving out steep sandstone cliffs that turn deep orange at sunset; winding past giant red gums and weeping willows; and spilling its banks to create wide, wild lagoons.

1. Check out the Monarto open range zoo

2. Lose yourself and find rare birds, flora and fauna on a bushwalking journey through the Ngarkat Group of Conservation Parks.

3. Watch the sun slip away over the Murray River as you enjoy a three-course, very alfresco meal on a Big Bend by Night Eco Tour, just outside Swan Reach.

4. Explore Australia's paddleboat history at the Mannum Dock Museum, home to the lovingly-restored, 100-year-old PS Marion........

.......and much much more.
