Welcome to Mildura
The Murray River runs through Mildura, and getting out on the water is one of the best ways to see it. Paddlesteamer cruises, kayaking and riverside walks make this a genuinely outdoors kind of destination. Sun-soaked days here also mean wine touring through the surrounding region is a natural fit. Resorts in Mildura are well suited to this pace, with riverside settings that complement the laid-back rhythm of the area.

Flexible on dates? Say hello to better rates

When to visit Mildura
