Mildura Houseboats

One of the larger houseboat operations on the Murray, running a fleet of sixteen self-drive boats from two riverside bases at Buronga, across the water from Mildura. There's more than 100km of river to explore, and most of the boats run on solar and battery power. Kitchens are fully fitted, with BBQs and hot showers aboard, and some carry Netflix, Foxtel and internet; pet-friendly boats are available. Kayaks, dinghies and paddleboards can be added, and there's parking and caravan storage on site. Twenty years in, a well-drilled way to spend a week on the water.
