RYNOS RETREAT

If you’re in the market for something truly exeptional and unique, Ryno’s Retreat is one you’ll find hard to ignore. Magnificent in both proportion and appeal, this luxurious houseboat has been thoughtfully designed to provide seamless indoor and outdoor living, making it equally suited to family getaways, entertaining, or living-aboard full time.
 
First launched in 2017, Ryno’s Retreat is now offered for genuine sale, with all reasonable offers considered. This is a rare opportunity to secure a beautifully appointed river lifestyle vessel, and with a motivated vendor seeking a quick walk-in, walk-out sale, now is the time to book your inspection.
 
Boarding is effortless via the newly installed, wheelchair-friendly drop-down alloy ramp. Once aboard, you’ll appreciate the stainless-steel fencing and gating, low-maintenance Modwood decking, front pump-out points, multiple cleats and Weber BBQ, while the house batteries are neatly concealed away.
 
Step inside and you are immediately greeted by an expansive, light-filled open-plan living area with floor-to-ceiling glass providing exceptional natural light and ever-changing river views. Front and side entry doors provide easy access, while the starboard helm is ideally positioned for comfortable cruising and equipped with everything required for safe and enjoyable navigation. Featuring Mercury instrumentation and controls, Hydrive Admiral Series hydraulic steering, reverse camera and security cameras, together with dedicated storage for houseboat logbooks and records. Aft of the helm is the generous dining area and designer kitchen, complete with stone benchtops, island bench and pantry. Quality modern appliances, extensive storage and associated chattels are included in the sale. Opposite, the spacious lounge provides a relaxed setting with big-screen TV and stereo entertainment. Year-round comfort is assured with ducted evaporative air conditioning, Haier reverse-cycle air conditioning, and a stylish fire-display electric standing heater.
 
Accommodation is exceptionally well considered, comprising three queen-size walk-around bedrooms. Each bedroom features glass sliding-door access to the deck, robes, overhead cupboards, carpet and ceiling fans, while two bedrooms also benefit from reverse-cycle air conditioning. The luxurious primary bedroom includes a large double-door, fully tiled ensuite with household flush toilet, moulded-base glass-door shower and vanity. The spacious main bathroom features a matching quality fit-out and incorporates a convenient Euro laundry with a 7.5kg front-loader washing machine.
 
At the stern, the versatile sunroom offers even more living and accommodation options.  Add a sofa bed, with wall-mounted TV entertainment, ceiling fan and deck access, this space could easily be transformed with the addition of a concertina door to create a fourth bedroom, and rear entertaining lounge for additional guest accommodation. Combined with the three existing bedrooms, Ryno’s Retreat could comfortably sleep up to eight people. Opposite the sunroom is a dedicated deck bar, perfectly positioned for entertaining and complete with stone benchtop, beer tap, Matador fridge, plumbed sink and TV entertainment.
 
The expansive, fully covered stern deck is undoubtedly one of the highlights of this impressive vessel. Designed with entertaining and relaxation in mind, it features barstools, comfortable lounges, zip-track blinds and a gas heater for year-round enjoyment. Sit back, relax and take in the ever-changing river views, or step through to the large swim deck, which provides plenty of space to bask in the sunshine and enjoy life on the water.
 
Ryno’s Retreat is exceptionally well equipped for comfortable off-grid living. The 240V electrical system incorporates Sunnyboy inverters, a Victron smart charger and twenty-four 2V Gel house batteries 800Ah each, supported by thirty-one solar panels. The system is backed up by a Pramac P6000 Protech diesel generator, when required. Additional features include floating floors throughout, Crimsafe flyscreen doors, a Sky Hydrant Gem freshwater filtration system with a 3,000-litre freshwater holding tank servicing all water outlets.

The vessel also incorporates 3,000-litre waste and 3,000-litre grey-water storage tanks and is fully marina-basin compliant.
 
Propulsion is provided by twin 2017 Mercury 90HP Command Thrust EFI four-stroke outboard motors, with just 323 hours of use. The motors have been maintained by Murraylands Marine, and the generous 800-litre fuel tank provides an impressive cruising range. There is also a dedicated fuel bowser pump, allowing you to conveniently refuel your ski boat directly from the main tank.
 
Ryno’s Retreat was last slipped at Mannum Slipway in March 2026, with a fresh Insurance Risk Assessment completed and required pontoon maintenance undertaken. Electrical, Gas and EPA wastewater compliances are in place, and the vessel is currently insured with Nautilus Marine.
