Can’t wait for that dream summer holiday on the River Murray?

Then we’ve got good news for you – winter is one of the most amazing times of year to get out on the water.

With Wow Houseboats, you can experience for yourself the unrivalled tranquillity of one of Australia’s natural wonders, while still enjoying the ultimate in luxurious comfort.

You and your whole family or group are sure to have a “wow factor” holiday aboard one of the most spacious, warm and feature-packed houseboats on the Murray.

Your Wow Factor getaway gives you:

an eight-person, gas-heated spa bath
four infra-red patio heaters for breakfast or dinner on the deck
eight air conditioner/heaters on board, including in every bedroom
12 outdoor camping chairs equipped with heat packs
a fire box for riverside campfires
a bread maker so you can prepare a warm, fresh loaf every day

In short, you’ll be warm and comfortable, wherever you are on this impressive vessel.

Oh, and have we mentioned the scenery?

In winter, the River Murray is truly sensational – and it’s a lot quieter, too.

Winter offers unique opportunities for guests to stargaze under clear night skies, spot local wildlife and enjoy peaceful waterways with fewer crowds.

You’ll find picturesque locations and magical landscapes up and down the river, from Wellington’s Murrundi Reserve all the way up to Younghusband and beyond.

Throw a line in the water at Bolto, go bird watching at Swanport … or, if it’s more your style, race a go-kart at the Bend Motorsport Park.

Wow Houseboats’ dedicated team is always ready to provide exceptional service, ensuring that guests feel warm, comfortable, and well taken care of during their winter escape.

They will give you a guided tour of Wow Factor and its features upon your arrival.

If you need to stay at White Sands on your first night rather than rushing off into the setting sun, owners Todd Dolling and Kate Byford can help you get all set up.

“At this time of year, about 5.30pm is the time you want to start mooring (and) getting the ropes on,” Kate says.

“We will help you with your luggage, do your show-out and get you on.

“But if you do need to stay at the marina on your first night, it’s really secluded, there’s very rarely another boat in sight and it’s nice to relax, sit here, watch the sunset and have a cocktail or a glass of wine.”
