The banks of the Murray River provide the picturesque setting for the unusually named Australian town of Echuca, which rests opposite Moama. The Aboriginal name of the town means ‘meeting of the waters’ and this goes a long way to describe the area’s history, which is wrapped up in water-based stories of the inland port of Echuca.
Visitors are drawn to the area for its pretty river, interesting mixture of Echuca accommodation, pleasant climate and historical features that includes the Port of Echuca. The town is only a 2 hour, 30 minute drive from Melbourne and conveniently reached by train, bus or car.
With rivers and waterways playing such a vital role in the town, it is inevitable that much of the accommodation in Echuca is based on water themes, with houseboats proving a popular choice. Some of the houseboat offerings match that of any five-star retreat with creative décor and a wide assortment of contemporary conveniences available to guests. These floating hotels provide tourists with an exclusive experience and prices can be as cheap or as costly as you can afford.
For those who decide to holiday in caravan parks there is no shortage of choice in Echuca, with a wide choice of self-contained cabins, tent sites and camping grounds to enjoy. Motels, hotels and houseboats are the main accommodation options, with the former being the cheapest, the latter the most expensive and hotels perhaps providing guests with the best value for money. For a family travelling to Echuca, a holiday cottage may be a wise choice.
Luxury accommodation is few and far between in Echuca with only a handful of places offering four and five-star retreats with prices to match.
Echuca Moama is one of the the most sought-after places to lodge along the Murray and offers a range of outdoor activities to keep the entire family happy.
