Designed for relaxation, flexibility, and privacy, this houseboat features four queen bedrooms with zip-apart beds to suit any group configuration. Each bedroom includes its own private ensuite and a flat-screen TV, allowing up to 8 guests – and a fold-out sofa bed offers added space for children or extra guests.

The spacious open-plan lounge, dining, and kitchen area is ideal for gathering, socialising, or enjoying a quiet moment. Satellite TV keeps you connected, while the fully equipped kitchen, complete with modern appliances, dishwasher, and washing machine, ensures every convenience is at your fingertips. With split-system air conditioning in each room, you can tailor the temperature to your preference, no matter the season.

Above, the all-weather rooftop deck is the crown jewel of Desert Rose. From the luxury spa to the sun lounges, every detail invites you to unwind and take in the Murray River’s natural beauty. Fire up the hooded BBQ in the outdoor kitchen and dine alfresco with panoramic views. The top deck cruising console helm offers the chance to steer the journey while soaking in uninterrupted scenery.

Powered by efficient four-stroke outboard motors and robust electrical systems, the Desert Rose promises reliable performance on every cruise. With fast Starlink internet, you can stay connected whether you’re streaming, working remotely, or sharing your river adventures in real time. Whether you’re lounging on the front or rear decks, casting a line, or watching the river roll by, every space is crafted for comfort.

Desert Rose isn’t just a houseboat – it’s your floating sanctuary on river time.

Come stay a while, we're on river time!
