A great way to enjoy the country side in South Australia is by houseboat. Take a houseboat as a part of your tour of bush. This is an experience you will all enjoy. You can set sail at your own pace up and down the waterways. You can stop where ever you feel like taking in a bit more of the wonderful scenery or where the fishing seems good. It’s like caravanning on water, your houseboat becomes the place to fish, make friends, partake in water sports and enjoy sightseeing.

You can book a houseboat experience with the South Australian Visitor and Travel Centre or the Houseboat Hirers Association websites. You will find a Murray River Guide, the Murray River Pilot that takes you from Renmark to the Coorong and Murray River Charts that go from Renmark upstream for good charts of the Murray. The Riverland and Murraylands visitor centers have these up to date charts for you to purchase. The SA Waters Atlas and Guide also have good charts for negotiating the river.

You can choose from hundreds of houseboats that range in accommodation for two people to twelve people. You will find houseboats that have five star luxuries to the budget and more family friendly options. No matter what your budget you only need a driver’s license to enjoy captaining your own houseboat.

You will need to supply all your own food and drink for your holiday houseboat. Crockery and cutlery, cooking utensils, life vest and buoys are supplied on houseboats, as are tow way radios or mobile phones, fridges, stoves and furniture. Some houseboats do not offer linen, you need to check which household items you may need to bring or if you need to upgrade your package. Some houseboat companies and packages offer more than others and you will need to check that you are getting what you expect. You will also need a variety of clothing. It can be very cool at night and warm during the day. Sunscreen and insect repellent is a must. Some houseboats come with a crew and even a chef if you would like.
