RIVER WREN 5
Professionally built to a survey standard by Bumble Bee Houseboats in the year 2000, River Wren 5 is a solidly built steel heavy duty mono hull river cruiser houseboat. The functional style and comfortable floorplan is a plus for this intimate river traveller.
This vessel is under current commercial survey so can be insured to create a rental as a static Air B&B or self-drive hire boat. Purchase as a business opportunity to capitalise on the growing demand for affordable, unique, and immersive holiday experiences, ensuring a steady stream of income. Own for private use and enjoy the river yourself, or as a hire boat, or do a bit of both, the choice is yours!
River Wren 5 is of open plan style, with the comforts of home, ideal for a small family or couple, and is surveyed to cater for up to six guests. Having panoramic windows you won’t miss any river views whilst cruising the Mighty Murray.
The galley kitchen has a four-burner cooktop / grill, 12V fridge / freezer, microwave, sink with 70L freshwater tap, and plenty of cupboard / bench space. Opposite is a booth style dining area that can be converted to a double fold down bed if required.
There is a comfortable main double bed, also two single beds, one forward of the helm, the other is on the portside rear.
The stern has a bathroom with sink and moulded shower, opposite is the separate marine toilet.
The shaded stern deck has a mounted BBQ, chairs, and a large drinks esky.

This is a Walk in – Walk out purchase. The current berth is temporarily available for a short-term mooring. The River Wren brand name will not stay on the vessel so you can personalise it yourself. Last slipped 2020 at Long Island slipway, hull was sand blasted and Intertuf marine painted.
