Advantage I – A comfortable Murray River escape for families and groups

Advantage I is a modern, easy-going houseboat that works really well for families and groups who want space without needing a massive boat.

Inside, the main kitchen, lounge and dining area is open and bright, with big windows and plenty of room to settle in. Up front, there’s a second living area with two fold-out sofas, privacy curtains and a small TV. During the day it’s another place to relax. At night, it can turn into a handy kids’ sleeping area.

Upstairs is where the boat really comes into its own. There’s an 8-person spa, outdoor lounge, dining table, TV, Weber BBQ and a second steering position, plus a toilet so you’re not constantly heading downstairs.

It’s a great setup for long lunches, watching the footy, sitting in the spa or just cruising from the top deck with everyone together.

Starlink Wi-Fi 6 keeps the boat connected, and the Smart TVs throughout are ready for streaming. There’s also another Weber BBQ downstairs, giving you plenty of options for cooking and entertaining.

Advantage I is a good fit if you want a modern houseboat, two separate living areas and a top deck you’ll actually use.

Good for
Families, groups of friends, longer stays, sporting weekends and crews who like having a bit of extra space.

Worth knowing
Sleeps up to 12, with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an extra top-deck toilet, two fold-out sofas, an 8-person spa, top-deck steering, Starlink Wi-Fi 6 and Smart TVs throughout.

Local Tips
Trentham Estate can be extremely busy on weekends, so we recommend calling in advance to secure a table in the restaurant area. We also recommend arriving before 11 to avoid houseboat traffic.
 
Monak Win co is highly recommended. They have limited opening hours which are advised on their social media, so please follow for timings and events. You can also call to organise a private tasting.
