Get Hex'd on the mighty Murray River and lose yourself floating amongst the willow trees, wildlife & river magic.
Enjoy the unique setting of this romantic spot in nature - lull yourself to sleep or let your creativity flow into new realms.
The 360 degrees deck and movable furniture gives you options to enjoy, whatever the season. Open the curtains & doors to let the river breeze flow thru as you watch the river flow past. Close the curtains to retreat into your own little piece of seclusion.

The space
Designed as a couples escape, this unique float home truly has you on the waters edge.
We have recently revamped it to offer a little bit of luxury, a little bit of boho, and a lot of relaxation. 
You get to choose. 
Take the kayaks out for a while, curl up on the bed and read, kickback & watch TV.
As the sun goes down, start the BBQ, pour yourself a glass of wine, and cook up a feast on the on the 360′ deck surrounding Hex'd. Watch the sunset golden glow light up the river.
Hand feed the friendly swans and ducks, or leave some fruit out to tempt the resident possums.
Cook inside and enjoy your meal gazing at the river in protection. 
Wake up to the sounds of the birds on the river, let the blinds roll up while still in bed and watch the sun dissolve the morning river mist, as the pelicans and ducks drift by on the calm waters.
Hex'd on Murray is designed for adapting to living on the river. No matter what the weather is, you can move to where it's comfortable. Bask in the sun shine, head for the shade, sit in the breeze. The 360 deg deck and movable furniture gives you options to enjoy, whatever the season.

The marina has basic rules around dogs:
1) please pick up after your dog - we have supplied some bags on board to assist (bins with yellow lids are used for all rubbish)
2) when not on the boat, dogs are to be kept on a leash at ALL times - there are other dogs and vehicles moving constantly in the marina, should you allow your dog to be off a lead this is at your own risk
3) dogs are not to be left unattended

I'm obsessed with: The Murray River and nature
Hi, I'm Jo, and along with my husband Joe, we operate Hex'd on Murray. We were both born on the Murray, and see something magical whatever the season. Hex'd on Murray gives us the opportunity to share the magic. We live in Murray Bridge so are close enough to fix any issues, but far enough away to give you complete privacy during your stay.
