Magic Murray Houseboats — Moama

Modern houseboats on the Murray at Moama — fire pits on the riverbank, sandy beaches and a perfect early 5.0 Google rating.

Magic Murray runs the modern end of Moama’s houseboat fleet — dark-clad, apartment-styled boats that look more architectural than nautical, moored to red-gum banks at night with a fire pit going ashore. Its first nine Google reviewers all landed on five stars.

On the water

The boats are new-generation: full kitchens, big glass, decks built for long lunches on the move. No licence is required, and the Murray’s wide, slow bends make it the easiest big-boat water in the country.

Around Moama

You share the river with Echuca’s paddle steamers and not much else — sandy beaches, forest anchorages and the twin towns’ clubs and restaurants when you want land. It is a newer arrival, so book direct and early for holidays.
