Welcome to Renmark Houseboats!

We’re the Cole and Chapman families, and we couldn’t be more excited to share our love for the Murray River with you. Our journey together began in Broome, WA, where Kim and Jo first met while working at the same school. What started as a professional connection quickly blossomed into a close friendship between our families. After four wonderful years in Broome, Jo and Jody decided to return to their hometown of Renmark in 2022.

It was during one of our own houseboat holidays in 2023, we sat around a roaring campfire on a chilly winter’s night, surrounded by the peaceful beauty of the Murray River, that Jody planted the seed for our houseboat business journey. Though the idea took some time to grow, it slowly grew into a dream we were determined to bring to life.

In December 2024, that dream truly began to take shape when Graham (Chappo), Kim, and their family made the move from Broome to join Jo and Jody here in Renmark. Together, we’re now proud to operate Renmark Houseboats, where our commitment to providing a personal, friendly, and memorable experience is at the heart of everything we do.

We truly believe we have the most beautiful stretch of the River Murray. From incredible wildlife to breathtaking scenery, our section of the river is something special. Whether you choose to spend the night at the Brewery, unwind by the foreshore of Renmark, or discover the peaceful seclusion of the riverbank, we’re excited to share the wonders of Renmark and the Riverland with you.

At Renmark Houseboats, our goal is simple: to make sure you feel welcome, relaxed, and well taken care of. We pride ourselves on offering warm, friendly service and creating a memorable houseboat experience that leaves you with lasting memories.

Thank you for choosing to stay with us –
we look forward to welcoming you to our special corner of the world.
