"Nooralie". Dual Decked, 3Bed, 1Bath, Houseboat.

Spirit of the Murray - "Nooralie". If you're in the market for something special, competitively priced, medium-sized and presented in outstanding condition, "Nooralie" is sure to impress upon inspection. For twenty-one years the current owners have lovingly care for and maintained the vessel. This beautiful dual-deck, three-bedroom houseboat has been thoughtfully appointed, and its overall condition reflects the pride they have taken in its upkeep.

First launched in November 1984 and built by Tony Hutchinson Engineering, Nooralie offers the benefits of a shallow draft and solid 5mm boiler-plate monohull construction. Built to enjoy the Murray River, from the Coorong through to extended upriver cruising, she provides a comfortable and practical platform for weekends away, family holidays, or a live-aboard lifestyle.

As you approach, you'll appreciate the large marine-carpeted foredeck, sturdy handrails, secure gating and Weber BBQ. Stepping inside, the forward starboard helm features dual seating and is equipped with VDO instrumentation, Navman navigation, Phillips UHF, reverse camera for added safety and a Kenwood CD stereo. Moving aft, the combined lounge and dining area is surprisingly spacious, providing a comfortable central living space with plenty of hull storage space and built-in cupboards. Year-round climate comfort from Coolair evaporative air conditioning and Rinnai gas heating.

The portside galley-style kitchen is well equipped, with ample cupboards, drawers, pantry storage and timber benchtops. Appliances include a Dometic gas/electric fridge-freezer, Euromaid four-burner stove with oven and grill, microwave, pod coffee machine and exhaust fan, making the kitchen well suited to both casual weekends and longer stays aboard.

Accommodation is provided by three generous bedrooms, currently configured as double walk-around beds, with the potential to accommodate queen-size beds if desired. All three bedrooms are carpeted and feature built-in robes. The separate bathroom includes a moulded shower and vanity cupboard, while the aft toilet room is fitted with a macerating flush toilet.

The marine-carpeted stern deck provides easy access to the large wind-down swim platform and ladder to the upper sundeck. A portside storage room offers the potential to accommodate a small washing machine, while a starboard cupboard houses the vessel's off-grid electrical system.

Upstairs, the expansive hard-covered sundeck features artificial grass flooring, a second helm, outdoor setting and additional storage cupboard. This elevated entertaining area is the perfect place to relax, take in the river views and enjoy the surrounding landscape.

Nooralie is equipped with an off-grid electrical system, including a 3,000W Gentz inverter, Victron Smart Charger, four 120Ah house batteries, two solar panels and a Yamaha EF2600 backup generator. Hot water is supplied by a Bosch Hydropower 10H instantaneous gas system. Water capacity includes a 75-litre freshwater tank, 600-litre wastewater storage and 400-litre grey-water storage, with a changeover to the Storm Plastic EPA filter system. The vessel is fully marina-basin compliant.

Propulsion is provided by a Perkins 120hp heavy-duty 6.3542 turbo-diesel engine coupled to a Velvet Drive gearbox and shaft-driven propeller system. The engine has been regularly maintained and has accumulated just 2,845 hours. With a 750-litre fuel capacity and a comfortable cruising speed of approximately 10-12 km/h, Nooralie offers an excellent cruising range for exploring the Murray River.

The vessel was last slipped in March 2025 at Greening's Slipway, where the hull was prepared and coated with International Intertuf marine coating. An insurance risk assessment was completed and passed by Bill La Vars Marine Surveyor, with electrical, gas and EPA wastewater compliances.

Whether you're looking for a fantastic family weekender, a comfortable holiday houseboat or the opportunity to embrace a relaxed river lifestyle, Nooralie represents a genuine walk-in, walk-out purchase, excluding personal items. The current mooring at Mannum Waters Marina is also available to lease for $120 per week, providing an excellent opportunity to make the transition to river life even easier. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this well-presented and equipped houseboat has to offer.
