We booked the Endeavour for 4 nights in April for a group of 5. What an amazing and unique experience cruising the Murray. Finding that special little spot to pull in and moor for the night and the nature on dusk was amazing. While is it a 10 berth we only had 2 adult couples and an adult single which was a perfect adult fit for our needs on that boat. If you had 2 families it could easily accommodate the kids but 10 adults perhaps would be a little bit squeezy - not that the endeavour is promoted that way but just saying as we were going to opt for 8 adults and we were glad we didn't. For anyone looking for a different and quite amazing experience, go for it. Julie and Ken were great and have followed up on pre and post trip questions with quick and professional response times and the customer service from the get go was great - Recommend them.…
We recently spent four nights on A Touch of Opulence and had a wonderful time. The houseboat comfortably accommodated the eight of us and is decked out with everything you would need. Julie and Ken were on hand to provide advice and assistance and all the booking arrangements were smooth as silk. It was great to spend some time on the mighty Murray - so peaceful meandering down the river, with a few stops at local wineries and oh so peaceful overnight stays pulled up on the bank. Would not hesitate to recommend Murray River Houseboats!
Julie and Ken were amazing they certainly look after their customers . The indulgence was a home away from home and was an amazing experience. We were a group of 8 and had an absolute ball . We were sad it came to an end . Josh the deck hand was brilliant on call for any needs . I really recommend Murry River house boats you won’t be disappointed.
This is defiantly a must do, myself and 6 of my besties went on the Decadance as the Indulgence was booked out for the week I wanted & it was the best fun!, Julie, Ken & their team were all very helpful & great to deal with and the boat had everything we wanted for the full 7 nights of my birthday bash week! We all plan to do this again in the future & I plan to take my family when my grandchildren are a little older. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL wanting to sail the Murray River.
This is a Must do. Please people i was on cloud 9 for 3 nights on the Indulge boat. We were 9 friends. The staff was outstanding. Julie and Josh was just so wonderful. I always had a reply on my e mail or phone call. The boat was like a 5 star hotel on water. This is a must.
Murray River Houseboats we’re excellent with everything explained and followed through. From getting on board, operating the Houseboat & equipment and assistance with troubleshooting any problems you may have. We chose Decadence which was immaculate and well equipped. Julie, Ken and there staff were friendly and thoughtful would highly recommend.
Communication leading up to the boat hire was seamless and owners very responsive. Loading onto the boat including instructions from Ken & Julie were straightforward and a very seamless experience. After a quick instructional session with a staff member (Thanks Simon - you were great!), away you go down the Murray. The amenities made the entire 4 days very comfortable and quite relaxing - it's obvious a lot of care and attention has gone into the boat including a BBQ, Fridge and an air conditioner inside the main space which helps in the summer heat. There are also TV's featured on the boat but we didn't utilise these given we wanted to just relax in the river over a few days and get away from those usual electronics. Luckily we didn't experience any technical or service issues while out on the water but service and contacts are provided on arrival in case you run into any issues on the water. Returning the boat was just as easy as hiring it out - absolutely no complaints from us around the trip and would 100% recommend for friends and family to have their own little getaway for a few days. The kids also loved the experience.…
Our main concern with our first houseboat holiday was safety for children, particularly a three-year-old. Decadence delivered safety on every area of the vessel. This modern houseboat offered every luxury you could imagine. The extensive list of what is supplied needs to be read and followed. You don't need to bring anything but your food, drinks and personal items. The complementary fruit basket was enormous even for our group of 8. WiFi was solid throughout our time on the houseboat. Communication from Julie and Ken was excellent. We were met on arrival and Josh was friendly and superhelpful providing us with all the information and instructions to be able to head off and have a fabulous time on the Murray.
Our family has just returned from a week on the Murray River departing from Echuca on the Murray River Houseboat Britannia. We booked our trip in October as there was a cancellation on the Britannia which worked out fantastic for us, 6 of us left 23 Dec and we pick up another 4 guests on Boxing Day. We had good communication with Julie throughout the lead up to our departure through email, phone and texts. Julie and Ken and their crew went out of their way to make our departure seamless. After instructions on how to drive the boat and pull into the shore, we are on our way. Vessel was clean tidy and perfectly appointed. The accommodation opportunities were perfect with bunks and double beds and the kitchen had everything we need it apart from food of course. And only drawback was when pulling into the shore the sand was very muddy and soft but this was hardly the fault of Murray River houseboats! Staff must bring you into the dock at Echuca and we came in two separate occasions. On each occasion, the staff were only too happy to meet us out on the river, bring us in and help with anything we needed. We would highly recommend a holiday on Murray River houseboats.…
