Late August is a magical time on the Murray River – crisp mornings kissed by soft mist, days of gentle sunshine averaging 18–22°C, and cool, star-filled evenings perfect for fireside conversations.

Nature stirs with quiet renewal – wattles bloom golden against the red earth, pelicans glide effortlessly across mirrored waters, and the whisper of river gums sets a serene backdrop. On board, you’ll enjoy the stillness of the river, the beauty of slow living, and the comfort of being cocooned in a floating sanctuary.

This retreat invites you to exhale the busyness of daily life, immerse in yoga and meditation on the deck, nourish yourself with wholesome meals, and reconnect with the grounding rhythm of nature. As the Murray winds through sandstone cliffs and wide open skies, so too will you unwind, reset, and restore.

Join us for an unforgettable journey of wellness and rejuvenation along the serene Murray River aboard the luxurious houseboat "High River": Immerse yourself in the healing practices of Ayurveda and the calming art of yoga amidst the breathtaking natural beauty of the Murray River.

After Boarding we depart for a 1-hour cruise downstream to Headings Cliffs – stunning red cliffs!
