The houseboat had all that we needed. It was uniquely moored within walking distance of shops, the Renmark Club and the Renmark Hotel. Also situated on a very nice walkway along the river.

Moorings on the Murray

The houseboat was warm & comfortable (very important in the middle of winter) & had everything we needed. The only slight problem for us, given our ages of 66, 73 & 81, was having to carry our luggage across the reserve & down/up some steps. However, it was still worth it & we loved sitting on the back deck, sipping a wine & watching the river flow past. Fabulous stay - Thank You.

About the host

Hosted by Deanne Flaherty

Host profile image
Hi everyone, my name is Deanne Flaherty and I own and operate "Boats and Bedzzz" and "Renmark River Villas" along with my husband Stephen. We have two daughters and I have lived in Renmark my whole life, and as such I love the town and the river that runs through the heart of it! We established "Boats and Bedzzz" in 2008. In 2015 we built two "Renmark River Villas" homes and in 2023 we built two more! It is very easy for us to operate our business from home and provide a personalised service to our customers as the villas are next door to our home residence and the houseboats are across the road.

Why they chose this property

We take a lot of pride in the quality of our accommodation and receive a lot of great reviews from customers that have stayed with us. We aim to please and hope you enjoy your experience with us too!

What makes this property unique

Our moored houseboats are unique as your accommodation is floating and you can't get an closer to the river to enjoy its spectacular beauty! Moor your speedboat to the side, go fishing from the back deck, go kayaking in the kayak provided or just sit and enjoy the view!
The villas are located across the road from the river and are newly built and modern. Three villas have a private pool and rear lane access to park a speedboat or 2nd car (also an undercover garage at the front of the property too). Follow the path across the road from the villa and enjoy a riverfront stroll (5 min) to get in to the main hub of the town for shopping and dining.
