Inside tip · Renmark & the Riverland

What's the classic slow way to explore the Riverland's River Murray?

Answer: On a houseboat

Houseboating, river cruising and kayaking top the Riverland's must-do list, 2.5 to 3.5 hours' drive from Adelaide.

2.5–3.5 hrs by car from Adelaide · warmer months for water fun

Base yourself in Renmark, Berri, Loxton, Waikerie or Barmera. Allow 2 to 4 days for a river break, or longer for houseboats. Check fruit fly rules before travelling with fresh produce.
