A hot brekky on your houseboat is a great way to start the day, but sometimes a barista-made coffee is required.

One of our faves is Nash Lane in Mildura.com. They serve great coffee, delicious food and give you a morning off doing the dishes. What’s not to love?

Oh, and our staff can give you plenty more recommendations when you stay. We’re happy to share all the best places to eat and drink, as well as things to do and the best mooring spots.

But get in quick because the river’s looking mighty good.

Happy 24 years to us — what a milestone 🥂​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​It was August 2000 when we first started out. The business was called ‘Aaah! Willandra Houseboats’ because it put us at the top of the Yellow Pages 🤣

We fell in love with the Murray River, the welcoming locals and the great weather so we decided to settle in Mildura. We had always thought about having our own tourism business and, when offered the opportunity to operate two small houseboats, we jumped at the chance!

Since then, we’ve grown and expanded – becoming known as Mildura Houseboats along the way – and now we have more than a dozen houseboats in the fleet.

A big thank you to those who’ve stayed with us over the last two-and-a-bit decades —including our many regulars who keep coming back — and an especially big thank you to our team who’ve grown with us and make it all possible.

The Mildura Airshow isn’t far away now — it’s just 6 weeks until 8 September ✈️

It’ll have lots of incredible aerobatic displays from some of Australia’s champion pilots, rare World War II-era aircraft, plus plenty of on-the-ground fun for the whole family.

A houseboat break is ideal for those looking for adventure during the school holidays, and the next ones are just around the corner.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​If you're in our neck of the woods, Victoria kicks off first on Saturday 21 September, and you get the bonus public holiday for the AFL grand final on Friday 27! NSW follows a little later, starting on Saturday 28 September.

For those further afield, Queensland start Saturday 14 September, WA and the NT kick off on Saturday 21, then ACT, SA and Tasmania from Saturday 28.

The only question is, what date does your houseboat holiday start?

The kids will love the excitement of mooring and exploring new places, and Mum and Dad will love the ease of having everything you need on board and ready to go.

Did you know our Buronga moorings are just down the road from the Buronga Riverfront Nature Play and Pump Track?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Stop in on your way to pick up your houseboat or wander down from the moorings and let the kids stretch their legs.

Here you’ll find a nature-themed playground with rope structures, scaling ropes and a fort and slide. There’s also an incredible pump track if you’ve brought the bikes, scooters and skateboards with you. It’s all alongside river views, picnic tables and plenty of shade too.

Places like this are easy to find when you stay with us, our friendly staff are happy to help with suggestions for things to see and do in the region and we’ve got ready-made itineraries to guide you.

When we first started out back in August 2000, phone books were a pretty big deal.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​So much so that we named our business ‘Aaah! Willandra Houseboats’ to appear at the top of the Yellow Page listings 😂

We were much smaller then with just two houseboats, but we knew how to play big. You can see it here on one of the first brochures we ever produced… Social media was still a little way off!

Remember how the Yellow Pages used to be the go-to — and about 10 times the size it is now?!

Never been on a houseboat? That’s no problem, we’re here to make your holiday easy.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​When you arrive, we give you a comprehensive driving and mooring lesson before you settle into relaxation mode.

Then, you can choose to cruise to a secluded spot on the river, curl up with a good book in the sunshine, or if fishing is more your speed, drop a line in to catch an elusive Murray Cod.

At the end of the day, soak up the sunset in a hot bubbling spa whilst stargazing in a clear outback sky ✨

The possibilities are endless, you can choose to do as much or as little as you like!

Did someone say all day breakfast?

Yes, you heard right, Brother Chris in Visit Mildura is an all-day breakfast and brunch destination open from 7am until 2:30pm, 7 days a week.

Got a bid day of exploring and need a big brekky? No worries.
Craving some freshly brewed coffee? They’ve got it.
Want a morning off making egg and bacon rolls on the barbeque? This is your spot.

Enjoy the full breakfast experience by dining in, or if you’re heading off on an adventure, pick up a grab and go salad, cake and a coffee before heading back on your houseboat for the day.

You can find Brother Chris at 86 Deakin Avenue, Mildura, an easy walk from the Ornamental Lakes moorings.
