Murray Downs is a destination renowned for its community lifestyle. Just a short drive across the historic lift bridge to Swan Hill, it has plenty of activities and nearby attractions to entertain the whole family.

Murray Downs was formerly part of the 1839 Murray Downs Station, an area once the largest property along the banks of the Murray River.

The original Murray Downs Homestead, built in 1870, is a gracious privately-owned Victorian mansion, best seen from the river on a Murray River cruise.

Must Do’s:

  • Visit Murray Downs Golf and Country Club, widely acclaimed as the Murray River’s finest golf course, which also offers bowls, tennis, a large tropical pool, great dining, entertainment and club facilities.
  • Experience Australian history first hand as you explore the Pioneer Settlement Swan Hill. Set on three hectares of land on the banks of the Little Murray River, you will find real-life Mallee cottages, a hotel, schools and shops, plus an enormous collection of working tractors and machinery.
  • Visit Swan Hill Regional Art Gallery, recognised as having one of Australia’s most comprehensive collections of native art.

  • Experience the Heartbeat of the Murray laser spectacular. Set on the banks of the Little Murray River, this world-class attraction is a 360-degree multi-media spectacular unlike anything ever seen in Australia. Using water, light, laser, sound and special effects to tell the story of the Murray, you’ll be transported back 30 million years, before travelling forward through time to the Murray River as we know it today.
  • Taste the local food and wine, with an abundance of local produce and memorable dining experiences available.
  • Follow one of the walking tracks, or explore one of the scenic drives throughout the region.
  • Call into the Koraleigh General Store on your way to Tooleybuc for a unique and sumptuous food experience
