Echuca is a town located on the banks of the Murray River in Victoria, Australia. Fascinatingly enough, the word Echuca means “Meeting of Waters” in the native aboriginal language which is indicative of the role the rivers played in the town’s existence. Echuca was founded by one of the most interesting characters of Australia’s colonial days, an ex-convict named Henry Hopwood. Using the area at the time as a ferry service across the river, eventually, the town grew and Echuca became an inland port. The town rose to prominence in the 19th century as it was a central point for unloading and loading goods going to and from Melbourne which is 133 miles south of Echuca. Echuca has a bustling tourist industry and is relatively well known for its dining and restaurant scene. So why not check it out for yourself?

Located in a quiet, safe and nice neighborhood, this entire apartment is great for large groups. It can accommodate up to 9 people so you will not be short on space!

The town is about 20 minutes away, so this place is a little more off the beaten path, but with that comes some great views of the countryside. But, just in case you want to get to town, the bus stop is located at the end of the street!
