Houseboats are an interesting accommodation option - just think of it like a holiday house that cruises along a river or lake, fully self-contained with everything you need for that truly independent holiday experience. Skippering your own boat means that you can go wherever you want, or just pull into the bank for a while and spend some time ashore. And you don't even need a boat licence to operate one.

Murray River houseboats

Houseboats can be hired from several towns along the Murray River. Your journey may involve the fascinating process of traversing a lock which controls water levels and regulates river flow for irrigation purposes. Once your houseboat enters the concrete lock chamber and the gate is closed, the water level in the chamber will either rise or fall to match the level in the river that you are navigating into. The gate will then open and you are free to proceed on your journey.
