Hotels in Murray River, Australia

The Murray River stretches across southeastern Australia from the Australian Alps to the Southern Ocean, famous for its sprawling riverbanks, houseboat holidays, and world-class wine regions. Summers are hot (average 86°F/30°C), perfect for kayaking, fishing for Murray cod, or cruising past the historic port of Echuca, while mild winters (average 59°F/15°C) are ideal for exploring the Barossa Valley's cellar doors and picking citrus fruits in the Riverland. You can also try canoeing through the wetlands of the Murray River National Park in spring, or book a budget-friendly houseboat trip in autumn when temperatures are mild and crowds thin.
