Murray Downs

Murray Downs is a destination renowned for its laid back country vibe. Just a short drive across the famous and historic lift bridge to Swan Hill, this duo of towns offer some absolutely stunning river backdrops and plenty of land and water-based activities to entertain the whole family.

Whether your style is riverside camping or hotel luxe, you’ll find room for both here, as well as a happy mix of food and wine experiences plus time spent in nature.

Murray Downs was formerly part of the Murray Downs Station settled in 1839, an area once the largest river frontage property along the banks of the Murray River. The original Murray Downs Homestead, built in 1870, is a gracious Victorian mansion that is now a private residence.

Stunning views of this heritage-listed homestead can be seen from the river, and is best experienced on board a Murray River cruise.
