Houseboat moorings along the Murray River are designated access points where houseboats can tie up and serve as a base for exploring Australia's longest waterway.

Along the South Australian stretch, Council-designated mooring sites allow vessels to moor for up to 48 hours without a permit; longer stays require prior approval.

Mooring locations range from spots near historic river towns such as Mannum and Renmark — offering access to museums, shops, and restaurants — to quieter, more secluded stretches of riverbank.

All sites are chosen for their natural beauty and accessibility, allowing travellers to reach nearby attractions by boat or on foot.

Most houseboat operators provide a safety briefing and mooring instruction before departure, and secure car parking is typically available at the point of embarkation.
