Hotels near Echuca Airport - ECH, Echuca

Echuca is a beautiful town by the Murray River. I would certainly recommend a stay of several days. There is plenty to do including the historical port, restaurants, shops, antiques, river cruises and water sports on the mighty Murray river. There is also the painted silo trail that is in the vicinity as well as wineries, a beer museum and plenty of pubs in town.

All in all the locals are friendly and helpful especially at the discovery centre and the information centre they go out of their way to assist and answer all questions & promote the lovely Echuca & make you want to return and experience more of the history of Echuca .

We visited Echuca on a sunny 1st of January 2025, with a high of 12°C. Sunscreen and SunSmart hats are a must, especially during the midday heat. We chose to stay indoors during the hottest part of the day and ventured out later for a peaceful walk by the river. For those not into beer or drinks, options for activities may feel limited. Cafes were very busy, and some were overpriced. However, we discovered a gem in Essen, a clean and stylish cafe with excellent coffee and friendly service. Paddle steamers are a must-try, especially in the early morning before it gets too hot. Booking online is convenient, and discounts for students, seniors, and concession cardholders make the experience more affordable. The kind and friendly customer service we encountered, even at Coles, added to the charm of the town. Overall, Echuca is best suited for a short stay and may be more enjoyable in cooler weather. It’s definitely worth a visit for its river charm and warm hospitality.

We loved our stay with Sharon. The appartments are wonderful. Private, quiet and quality marble flooring etc. a kitchen and lounge/dining made it perfect. We really appreciated the size of the bathroom and having a seperate bedroom. The location is great near the old wharf. Walking distance. I can Highly recommend Acacia terraces. Excellent value for money.

Taking the train from southern cross was simple and very low cost. Once in Echuca it was easy to walk around and there are loads of great food. The Japanese restaurant in particular was excellent (Niko Niko), highly recommend it. The Hotel have us a list of clubs who provide free pick up and drop offs and we went to Rich River and tried the Golf Simulator, you do need to book this in busy periods. We also took a river cruise which was very informative and provided a nice breeze. Lots to see and do easy to walk from one end of town to the other.

My sister & I didn't get chance to see much but as was short stay but will go back for longer when able & see more. Great the courtesy bus to & from Moama rsl also, picking up & drop off in front of our motel. Next time though we'll visit more Echuca places.
