The Mighty Murray River: A Journey Through Time and Nature
The Mighty Murray River spans over 2,500 kilometers from the Snowy Mountains, flowing through the Riverland and into the River Murray Lakes and Coorong regions of South Australia. This ancient river, around 130 million years old, is steeped in Aboriginal history, culture, and heritage.
As the Murray River approaches the South Australian border, it transforms from a narrower, winding river with defined banks into a broad, slow-moving waterway. The scenery varies from steep, ochre-colored cliffs on one side to magnificent river red gums on the other, with willow-lined open waterways.
Experience “Rivertime”
Discover “Rivertime,” where time seems to stand still. Whether you explore the food and wine offerings around the Riverland, admire the picturesque cliffs of the lower Murray, visit the dark sky reserve, or enjoy attractions like Monarto Safari Park or The Bend Motorsport Park, you’ll always return to the tranquility of your riverside shack.
Accommodations for Every Taste
River Shack Rentals offers a range of accommodations, from nostalgic old-style river shacks to modern luxury homes that can sleep up to 22 people. These are perfect places to gather with family and friends, offering something to suit everyone.
Conveniently Close to Adelaide
Most properties are less than two hours away from Adelaide, providing more time to enjoy the river and less time on the road. Whether it’s the thrill of breaking through the glassy water for an early morning ski or wakeboard or the simple pleasure of lighting a BBQ by the river at night, you’ll soon appreciate the magic of “Rivertime.”
