Green and Gold Houseboats

If you have never had a houseboat holiday on the Murray, then you don't know what tranquillity is. There is nothing more serene than working your way slowly up the Murray with ever changing scenery, the smell of fresh air and the sound of the water gently lapping at the hull of your fully equipped houseboat.

Tempting, isn't it?

Green & Gold Houseboats has been operating for more than 15 years and owner/managers James and Ruth Copeland have a fleet of seven houseboats ranging in size from 1 bedroom to 6 bedrooms.

All houseboats have all the luxuries of home, including kitchen facilities and comfortable living areas, as well as single or double beds.

Also catering to those seeking a little more adrenaline-pumping action, Green & Gold also have a ski boat for hire, complete with a range of ski equipment. If you want to throw a line in, a range of dinghies and outboards are also available. You can even hire a canoe.

Travelling by boat along the Murray, there are many attractions which are easily accessible. Upstream of the spectacular cliffs at Waikerie is Overland Corner, and passing through Lock 3 to reach Kingston is a great experience. Further on to Moorook and Loxton, the bird life is abundant and the sun setting over the Murray Wetlands must be seen to be believed.

Anyone with a valid Driver's Licence can operate a houseboat and full navigating and operating instructions are provided.
