If you have never had a houseboat holiday on the Murray, then you don’t know what tranquillity is. There is nothing more serene than working your way slowly up the Murray with ever changing scenery, the smell of fresh air and the sound of the water gently lapping at the hull of your fully equipped houseboat.

Green & Gold Houseboats has been operating for more than 23 years and owner/managers James and Ruth Copeland have a fleet of eight houseboats ranging in size from 1 bedroom to 6 bedrooms.

All houseboats have all the luxuries of home, including kitchen facilities and comfortable living areas, as well as single or double beds.
If you want to throw a line in, you can hire a dinghy or paddle around in a canoe.

Travelling by boat along the Murray, there are many attractions which are easily accessible. Upstream of the spectacular cliffs at Waikerie is Overland Corner, and passing through Lock 3 to reach Kingston is a great experience. Further on to Moorook and Loxton, the bird life is abundant and the sun setting over the Murray Wetlands must be seen to be believed.

Anyone with a valid Driver’s Licence (and over 21 years of age) can hire a houseboat as full navigating and operating instructions are provided.
