Renmark/Paringa Houseboats

Home of the first houseboats on the Murray River and Australia’s largest rose garden, Renmark is a popular spot for water sports including water skiing, wake boarding, golfing, the arts and an emerging wedding destination.

Named after an Aboriginal word meaning ‘red mud’, Renmark is Australia’s first irrigation settlement.

Head south-east from Renmark and you’ll find the small town of Paringa, named after an Aboriginal word meaning ‘big bend in the river’. Check out the historic lift spanning bridge, take a nature stroll, shop for unique gifts and local artwork or sample a truly local brew.
