Luxe Houseboat on an Iconic River

Gliding along the Murray River aboard Meander is an immersion in nature without sacrificing a shred of comfort. This architecturally sleek, 8-berth houseboat boasts four king bedrooms (each with its own ensuite), a spacious lounge, full kitchen, and an expansive deck for taking in the river’s ever-changing scenery. Thoughtfully equipped with off-grid battery power, Starlink internet, and reverse-cycle air conditioning, it blends sustainable design with modern luxury. Anchor at a secluded sandbar beneath ochre cliffs, or pull up outside the Woolshed Brewery for a cold drink and a meal. Days can be as active or unhurried as you choose — swim, kayak, fish, or simply stretch out with a book as pelicans drift by. Whether shared with friends or family, Meander delivers a river escape you’ll remember long after the current carries you home.
