The Rambler's Retreat

Always wanted to be on a houseboat, sleep right on the water but don’t want the responsibility of driving a houseboat? Want something different? Then Ramblers Retreat, a moored houseboat is your answer. A great place to bed down for the night as part of your journey or as a place to stay for several days.

Sunset from the Retreat


The location is to die for – peaceful, sheltered, calm and quiet – yet only 300metres walk along the riverfront to the Renmark Hotel and the Renmark Club for your meals or entertainment.   Or do you fancy a private BBQ?  Then use the BBQ on the front deck. Afterwards kick back with a drink in a chair on the large rear deck , looking out over the water, watching the setting sun or the reflection of the town lights on the river at night.


Do you want plenty of room to move when staying overnight or just for a few days? How about a whole boat to yourselves? Three separate bedrooms on Ramblers Retreat gives you a choice of sleeping arrangements.


Appreciate the quiet – no noisy generators – all solar power or LPG is used. 12 volt TV, DVD and radio are available if needed.
Alas no airconditioning.


Remember the fun of playing card and board games? Get them out and open them up -  laugh and reminisce with your partner.


Retail therapy or just browsing, can be satisfied with only a  7 minutes walk into the town centre.

No need for lots of packing – only your own personal gear. All linen, cooking equipment and breakfast provisions are provided.


Swimming off the rear deck is a great way cool down or get fit in the warmer weather – take all commonsense precautions as you would anywhere swimming in a river.
