About Murraylands

Big River. Big Holiday.

There's nothing quite like relaxing on a houseboat and enjoying a quiet drink after a day of waterskiing or jet boating.

In the Murraylands, you get the opportunity to do just that. As the name suggests, the Murraylands is located along the banks of the mighty Murray River.

The Murray is the world's fourth largest river system, and the stretch of the river that passes through the Murraylands is one of its most open stretches. In our book, that makes it one big place to play.

You get the chance to unwind on one of the best stretches of river in the world. Whether you're into waterskiing, jet boating, canoeing, or just having a quiet drink in the beer garden of a riverside pub, the Murraylands is an ideal place to enjoy everything the river has to offer.

The Murraylands offers a diversity of landscapes inlcuding the wide open spaces of the Mallee conservation parks.


On the river

One of the best ways to enjoy the river is by houseboat. It's like you're hiring your own personal floating hotel. And, after a brief instruction session on the rules of the river, you even get to be the captain of the ship.

The river is also a great place for fishing, watersports, or just a gentle cruise. The choice is yours - but we recommend you try a little bit of everything.


On the shore
As well as being great places to relax, do shopping, and enjoy a drink at a local pub, the historic townships of the Murraylands have a range of accommodation options to suit every budget. So if you're keen to enjoy the river, there's plenty of places to start.
