It’s River over Riviera this winter.

Just a couple of hours from Melbourne, Echuca Moama offers a slower kind of escape. One that trades airport queues for open water and long lunches that stretch into the afternoon.

Think riverfront dining and fresh seafood; houseboats for a few days off-grid; heritage streets made for wandering; and winery stops that feel well earned. Add to that a collection of thoughtful finds for the home, the kitchen and everything in between.

All the makings of a perfect winter getaway, without going too far.
