Tips

Because there are no shops up-river from Renmark town wharf, ensure that you have enough food and drink for the duration of your hire. Generally, you CANNOT BRING FRESH FRUIT INTO THE RIVERLAND under SA Fruit fly regulations. However, there are Woolworths and Foodland supermarkets in Renmark, Coles & Aldi in nearby Berri and a small IGA very close to the mooring in Paringa. See the Houseboat Info page for more detail – particularly what you can bring within SA, including pineapple, melons and most leaf and root vegetables. However, no fruit or veg are permitted from interstate.

You will receive instructions on handling the houseboat and operating its appliances before departure. The boat has linen, bedding and bathroom towels but please bring your own beach/spa towels.

We recommend Travel Insurance to cover any unforeseen circumstances or losses.

Availability

The hire is conditional upon the boat being at the disposal of the hirer – unless prevented from doing so due to mechanical breakdown, river conditions or other unforeseen availability circumstance.  Accordingly, we have the right to cancel any cruise without notice. The proprietors reserve the right to refuse permission to board at their own discretion.

In such cases, you would receive a full refund.
