Mildura-based luxury houseboat company, All Seasons Houseboats, has achieved a remarkable milestone, winning the prestigious Unique Accommodation category at the Victorian Tourism Awards recently. The accolade highlights their dedication to providing consistent exceptional and innovative travel experiences on the iconic Murray River.
Lucy Bromley, Operations Manager for All Seasons Houseboats, expressed her pride in the win, stating, "It's such an honour to bring this award back to our region and represent the Murray River. After a break from entering the awards, we decided to showcase Elevate Luxury, our new state-of-the-art luxury houseboat, and we're thrilled that it has been recognised on this stage."
The Elevate Luxury houseboat, a standout in design, comfort, and inclusivity, reflects the company's commitment to redefining houseboat tourism. Competing in the highly diverse Unique Accommodation category, Ms Bromley noted, "We faced tough competition, from glamping tents to wildlife retreats, but our team's hard work and the superior quality of our product shone through."
As the newest addition to their fleet, Elevate Luxury redefines the concept of indulgence with six elegant king bedrooms, each with private ensuites, and a large accessible supported bedroom and bathroom designed for inclusivity. Notably, the vessel boasts Australia's first houseboat lift, seamlessly connecting the two levels, making it a trailblazer in accessibility-friendly travel.
Upon climbing the sweeping staircase or taking the lift, guests enter a stunning top deck featuring a spacious lounge area with a gas log fire, a gourmet kitchen with accessibility features, dining for 12, and a separate cocktail bar. Outside, a magnificent sun deck provides the perfect space to relax and take in the serene beauty of the Murray River.
Ms Bromley also highlighted the outpouring of support from local and state tourism businesses. "It felt amazing to have so many people rally behind us, particularly businesses in Melbourne who recognised the value we bring to regional tourism," she said.
To celebrate the victory, the All Seasons Houseboats team is hosting a special dinner to acknowledge the collective effort behind the win. "This achievement is a testament to our incredible staff and local suppliers. It's a team effort, and we're making sure everyone who contributed feels the pride of this success," Ms Bromley added.
As a previous Hall of Fame winner, this award reaffirms All Seasons Houseboats as a leader in the tourism industry and a beacon for the Murray River region, setting a high standard for unique and luxurious accommodations.
