Hotels in Murray River, Australia

Murray River flows through southeastern Australia, famous for its historic paddle steamer cruises and houseboat adventures along the country's longest river. The climate brings hot summers (up to 105°F/40°C) perfect for kayaking and swimming at Mildura, while mild winters around 55°F/13°C are ideal for cycling the 250-kilometer Murray River Trail or touring the nearby Rutherglen wine region for cellar door tastings. Spring and autumn offer the best balance for exploring both the river and the surrounding national parks.
