Floating riverside accommodation in tranquil setting.

River Wren 6 is offered as affordable on-water holiday accommodation in White Sands. This is accommodation only and the boat is not available for self-drive.

This unique accommodation is located at the stunning Riverglen community which includes a marina, reserve and boat ramp.

River Wren 6 is a mid-size all steel construction mono hull river cruiser, open plan, bright, airy and extremely comfortable. It is very cozy and has all the facilities for off-the-grid river enjoyment.

River Wren 6 is a shared and open living space which incorporates the sleeping and kitchenette areas. Standard bedding arrangement provided is 1 x double permanent bed. Linen including bedding and towels is provided. Bedding for 1 x additional double bed (fold down combined with the dining table), and 1 x smaller single bed for smaller guests (plus a front day sitter) can be provided on request (no extra cost applies). Please note there are no separate rooms (apart from the toilet and shower). It is similar in size to that of a large RV except it's on water.

River Wren 6 has all the facilities required, bathroom and toilet amenities, cooking appliances, radio and Smart TV/DVD on board. The kitchenette has all the utensils and cooking aids to cook up a feast. We supply basic items such as tea and instant coffee, complimentary milk, limited toiletries, and cleaning items. There is rear deck with canopy, gas BBQ, cool ice chest (ice required), and back up 3kva generator to charge items. 240-volt power is on hand via the generator to power the internal split system heat and cool unit, toaster, microwave or other 240 powered items.

We also provide a 2-person kayak for your use to explore this tranquil part of the river.

wonderful
Very nice place to stay. The boat was very well equipped with everything we needed. All of us caught lots of carp that we had to kill first of course, then fed to a pelican which was fun. Fed the pair of black swans that came round each evening with cornflakes as internet said that was OK. to feed them that. Very quiet moored spot on the river. Highly recommend this boat for a holiday that is so relaxing. Host is lovely and supplies all the information you need for this wonderful getaway.

River Wren 6
We had a great stay on the moored houseboat, it was probably a little small for our family of 4 but the boys 6 and 9 enjoyed the adventure and catching fish 😊 the boat was clean and had everything we needed. Thanks for a memorable weekend.
