About the host

Hosted by Madison

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Madi—owner of Restaway Houseboat, operations manager at Baldwin Boats, and someone who’s always had the river in her blood. Restaway holds a special place in my family’s story—my grandfather built houseboats in the ’80s, and today, we’re proud to still be building them at Baldwin Boats.

Why they chose this property

After a full rebuild, I’ve created a space that blends comfort, style, and the kind of slow-living only the Murray can offer. I’m passionate about supporting local, showcasing the beauty of our region, and giving others the chance to unwind and reconnect.

Come experience the magic of the river for yourself—there’s truly nothing like it.

What makes this property unique

Restaway isn’t just a houseboat—it’s a peaceful, off-grid experience moored on the iconic Murray River in Mildura. Originally built by our family over 30 years ago and recently rebuilt from the ground up, it blends nostalgic charm with modern comfort.

What sets us apart:
• Moored accommodation—no boat licence needed, no stress
• Fully refurbished with luxury finishes, solar power, Starlink internet & smart tech
• Thoughtfully stocked with extras like a SUP, games, coffee pods & eco toiletries
• Tucked away in a quiet riverfront location, with access to a private boat ramp
• Rooted in local family history, run with heart and genuine connection

Restaway is designed for slow mornings, golden hour reflections, and meaningful time on the water—without having to go anywhere at all.
