As the chill of winter fades, the Tweed River transforms into a warm and welcoming paradise, and there’s no better way to experience it than from the deck of your own private houseboat. At Berger Houseboat Holidays, we think spring might just be the perfect time to set sail. Here’s why:
Spring Weather
Spring on the Tweed means clear skies, longer days and comfortable temperatures, perfect for exploring the Tweed River without the summer heat. It’s warm enough for a swim but cool enough for a breezy nap on the top deck. Morning tea tastes better by the water and afternoons stretch lazily into golden sunsets.
Nature Wakes Up
Spring is when the Tweed Valley bursts into bloom. Native wildflowers, flowering gums and jacarandas splash the landscape with colour. Birdlife is especially active this time of year. The water comes to life too, with fish, turtles and dolphins.
Spring School Holidays
Looking for a unique, screen-free family getaway these school holidays? A houseboat holiday is fun and packed with adventure for kids of all ages. Teach them to fish off the deck, go exploring in the tender, spot wildlife from the helm or just enjoy swimming in the calm, clear water.
No traffic and no queues. Just quality time together, surrounded by nature.
School holiday dates are some of our most popular times of year so now’s the time to secure your family’s floating holiday.
Why The Tweed Shines in Spring
Set against the backdrop of Wollumbin, the Tweed region is one of the most unique ecosystems in Australia and spring is when it shines. With everything from sugarcane fields to coastal wetlands, it’s a haven for nature lovers, photographers and those seeking a deeper connection to the land.
You’re never far from adventure:
- Explore riverfront villages like Tumbulgum
- Paddle up creeks surrounded by rainforest
- Catch fresh fish for the BBQ
- Wake up to mist rising off the water
