Riverland Accommodation

Are you wondering where to stay, on your visit to the Riverland? We created a list of accommodation options in the Riverland ranging from luxurious extravagance, to budget basics.

From the on time pick up (from our hotel) to the drop off, everything was perfect! We enjoyed the morning sunrise out on the water, which was incredible. Kym was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. He made sure that this experience was at a relaxing pace, giving us all time to soak in the surroundings. With lots of interest from the smaller winding creeks to the open river and the surrounding cliffs, there was so much to see and take in. Our girls are already asking when we can go back and do this again. I can highly recommend Canoe Adventures Riverland for all ages.
