We have hired a houseboat from Luxury on the Murray each year for the last 3 years, and we love it. The houseboats are HUGE. When you step aboard, you'll find a big kitchen with a large fridge (for all your beer and maybe some food) next to a good size dining and lounge area. There's a big screen TV (not that you'll watch it much) and a large couch. The bedrooms on the boat are small but comfortable, each with an ensuite. Upstairs you'll find your BBQ, another dining table and a big heated spa. While on the river, you can go fishing and swimming. You can also hire a tinny or kayak from a place in Echuca to take with you. Let me just warn you upfront... the boats are pricey. You're looking at about $3k for a long weekend in Summer, so you'll want to split that with as many people as you can fit on the boat. It's a damn good way to spend a weekend. read more
