Paddlewheeler "Julie Fay" B&B
Romantic Couples Retreat
Yippee!
PS Julie Fay is back in business from March 1st.
In order to schedule a cleaner we have made Tuesdays and Fridays dedicated cleaning days and preferred arrival days. Please call if you have trouble with booking so we know what issues arise from this change.
Nestled on the bank of the mighty Murray River, in South Australia’s famous Riverland district, the vintage PS Julie Fay is a unique waterfront accommodation experience for couples seeking privacy in a stunning natural setting.
From the comfort of your fully serviced suite, you will experience river life on this charming paddle-wheeler without the hassle of cruising the river to find a mooring.
Birds and fish abound in these world-recognised wetlands, sunsets display full glory, the stars are bright in the night sky and sunrise brings a dawn chorus of birdlife.
Exploring the Riverland is easy because wineries, breweries, restaurants and food markets are only a short drive away.
This is a true nature experience that will refresh your soul.

Rules
Check-out/Check-in Times
We offer a late check-out time of 11am to help you make the most of your stay. Your check-in time is between 3pm and 8pm.
Children
The boat has been developed as a couples’ retreat and is not designed for the safety of children. Please don’t book children under the age of 12 as they cannot be permitted.
Fireplace
The fireplace may only be used while the top deck canopy is removed from 1st June to August 30th. Firewood is provided.
Smoking
Julie Fay is a strictly non-smoking area.
Pets
Sorry but we have a No Pet policy. All nature’s creatures feel safe approaching the paddle-wheeler and we don’t wish to frighten them.
Visitors
Parties, events and non-paying visitors are strictly prohibited. Julie Fay B&B is not for the purpose of hosting anyone other than those who have officially booked. As a surveyed and registered boat, legal capacity regulations apply. For this reason, hire is not available in conjunction with hire of the Captains’ Cottage.
Extra Considerations
Fruit and Vegetables
Please note that, as a food production area, Renmark is fruit-fly free. It is currently illegal to bring ANY fruit or vegetables into the Riverland, even from Adelaide. There are plenty of great places to buy fresh produce within the Riverland.
Busy Periods
Some times are not always peaceful on the river: Despite our relatively secluded position, the river will be very busy on long weekends and school holidays.
PS Julie Fay B&B is rocked by the wake of passing boats.
