Quality Houseboats

Jim Murphy started Quality Houseboats in 2000, specialising in ensuite houseboats.

Quality Houseboats have been acknowledged as setting new standards of accommodation in the houseboat hire industry.

Murray Explorer is especially sought after by mature travelers who appreciate the comfort, privacy, and convenience of having their own bathroom, with power in each bedroom so a CPAP machine can be used.

Based in the Riverland, Murray Explorer has recently moved after 7 years from Riverfun Houseboats Marina to a fantastic new mooring site at Renmark Lagoon Marina, no more waiting for the Paringa Bridge to open! Excellent easy access to the boat to head upstream.
