Hotels in Murray River, Australia

The Murray River region stretches across southeastern Australia, with a Mediterranean climate of hot, dry summers (up to 95°F/35°C) and mild winters (around 50°F/10°C), famous for its historic paddlesteamer cruises and world-class wine trails. During summer, you can canoe the river's calm waters between Echuca and Mildura; in winter, explore the cellar doors of Rutherglen's shiraz vineyards. The best time to visit is spring (September-November) for blooming wildflowers and cycling the 250-mile Murray River Trail from Yarrawonga to the Coorong.
