The Houseboat

About Us

At Restaway Houseboats, we believe in slow days, smooth waters, and creating moments that linger long after the sun sets on the river. Originally built by Wally Baldwin in the late 1980s, Restaway has always held a special place in our family - a symbol of time well spent and the laid-back rhythm of life on the Murray River.
Now, decades later, Restaway has been completely rebuilt from the ground up. We’ve preserved its heart and heritage while bringing it into a new era of comfort and style. With modern appliances, fresh interiors, and thoughtful touches throughout, the boat offers a peaceful, self-contained retreat with all the comforts of home - set right on the water.
As a proudly local, family-run business, we’re passionate about sharing this unique slice of river life with others. Whether you're here for a quiet weekend away, a romantic escape, or a special celebration, we aim to make every stay memorable, relaxed, and hassle-free.
