Thankyou Cheryl for staying on Moving Waters moored houseboat with your group of 10.
We appreciate your review and glad you enjoyed your stay.
Kind regards, Deanne Flaherty - owner/operator
Great relaxing holiday on this beautiful houseboat. Plenty of room, well appointed with everything you could need. Very comfortable beds. Easy check-in & Deanne & Steve were very helpful. Far enough out of town to be very peaceful but not too far for shops, places to eat etc. Highly recommend staying here.

Thank you so much for your review Lynn and for staying with us once again! Your business is much appreciated. We are glad we could make your girls weekend away so enjoyable and we would love to see you back on the houseboat again or in one of the villas if you are looking for something different!
Oh so relaxing staying on this amazing houseboat! Well appointed with everything you need. Great location close to restaurants & shops. And the fantastic upper deck for taking in the view with your glass of wine & nibbles - shame we had to come home really!!
Lovely stay right on the river,It was a house boat experience without having to drive it .Five minute walk from Renmark so could enjoyed a few cocktails without worrying how to get home.
Self contained and plenty of room. Perfect for relaxing holiday.

Excellent accomodation
We staying in the boat as moored accomodation, the boat was equipped with everything you would need and is basically a floating 4 bedroomed house. All appliances are of quality as is the furniture and modern decor. Owner is very friendly and made sure we had everything that we needed. The 2 bathrooms would be very handy with a large family. Boat is moored on the banks of a lovely grassy area a short stroll from the town centre - very pleasant and we will definately book again.

About the host
Hosted by Deanne Flaherty
Hi everyone, my name is Deanne Flaherty and I own and operate "Boats and Bedzzz" and "Renmark River Villas" along with my husband Stephen. We have two daughters and I have lived in Renmark my whole life, and as such I love the town and the river that runs through the heart of it! We established "Boats and Bedzzz" in 2008. In 2015 we built two "Renmark River Villas" homes and in 2023 we built two more! It is very easy for us to operate our business from home and provide a personalised service to our customers as the villas are next door to our home residence and the houseboats are across the road.
Why they chose this property
We take a lot of pride in the quality of our accommodation and receive a lot of great reviews from customers that have stayed with us. We aim to please and hope you enjoy your experience with us too!
What makes this property unique
Our moored houseboats are unique as your accommodation is floating and you can't get an closer to the river to enjoy its spectacular beauty! Moor your speedboat to the side, go fishing from the back deck, go kayaking in the kayak provided or just sit and enjoy the view! The villas are located across the road from the river and are newly built and modern. Three villas have a private pool and rear lane access to park a speedboat or 2nd car (also an undercover garage at the front of the property too). Follow the path across the road from the villa and enjoy a riverfront stroll (5 min) to get in to the main hub of the town for shopping and dining.
