About this property

Floating riverside accommodation in tranquil setting.

River Wren 6 is offered as affordable on-water holiday accommodation in White Sands. This is accommodation only and the boat is not available for self-drive.

This unique accommodation is located at the stunning Riverglen community which includes a marina, reserve and boat ramp.

River Wren 6 is a mid-size all steel construction mono hull river cruiser, open plan, bright, airy and extremely comfortable. It is very cozy and has all the facilities for off-the-grid river enjoyment.

River Wren 6 is a shared and open living space which incorporates the sleeping and kitchenette areas. Standard bedding arrangement provided is 1 x double permanent bed. Linen including bedding and towels is provided. Bedding for 1 x additional double bed (fold down combined with the dining table), and 1 x smaller single bed for smaller guests (plus a front day sitter) can be provided on request (no extra cost applies). Please note there are no separate rooms (apart from the toilet and shower). It is similar in size to that of a large RV except it's on water.

River Wren 6 has all the facilities required, bathroom and toilet amenities, cooking appliances, radio and Smart TV/DVD on board. The kitchenette has all the utensils and cooking aids to cook up a feast. We supply basic items such as tea and instant coffee, complimentary milk, limited toiletries, and cleaning items. There is rear deck with canopy, gas BBQ, cool ice chest (ice required), and back up 3kva generator to charge items. 240-volt power is on hand via the generator to power the internal split system heat and cool unit, toaster, microwave or other 240 powered items.

We also provide a 2-person kayak for your use to explore this tranquil part of the river.

River Wren 6 is dog friendly accommodation.

River Wren 6

We had a great stay on the moored houseboat, it was probably a little small for our family of 4 but the boys 6 and 9 enjoyed the adventure and catching fish 😊 the boat was clean and had everything we needed. Thanks for a memorable weekend.

River Wren 6

As always a very peaceful and enjoyable experience. Location on Murray River is ideal and River Wren 6 is ideally set up for the stay. Great array of birdlife visiting daily.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Hayes

I manage River Wren 6 Houseboat and Pelican Retreat. I live in Adelaide but work and spend leisure time in Murray Bridge as I love to get out on the water.

Why they chose this property

My parents built the River Wren riverboat fleet. River Wren 6 we keep in its original home at Riverglen Marina and use as our private boat and for moored accommodation in this peaceful setting that we love.
