About this property
Hasta La Vista River Cruiser
Hasta La Vista is Spanish for "see you again soon". It is a unique small river cruiser ideally suited for single and couple short and extended stays on the mighty Murray River. located at the picturesque Riverglen Marina. The Hasta has been retired from a premier self drive cruiser to static floating accommodation only. The Hasta has been transformed through extensive and tasteful updating inside and out to improve the quality of presentation even further. The Hasta history evolved in 1999 after construction at a local company Bumble Bee engineering, the Hasta was one of 6 siblings known as the River Wrens. The Hasta is an all steel monohull cruiser 11m length, 4 meter beam, 400mm draft and weighs 8 tons. It is nestled in its own private mooring giving the appeal of seclusion similar to an oasis with weeping willows surrounding it providing nice shading on summer days and personal privacy. The location of the Riverglen Marina is on Marina View Road about 10 minute drive from the town of Murray Bridge heading south along the Jervois Road passing under the freeway Swanport Bridge. Riverglen Marina is secure with access only by keypad which allows guests to come and go as they want. There is guest parking directly out the front of the Hasta for ease of access. The Hasta is perfectly set up to provide guests a cosy, comfortable, relaxing appeal for short or extended getaway stays. It is complimented with full furnishings and amenities to give the home away from home feel. The interior is open plan with ample space for singles and couples to move about in complete privacy. There is separate bathroom with shower and toilet with assistance grab handle. Bedding linen is supplied and sleeping is on one double bed which forms part of the living space. The mattress is very comfy, at night it is usually very quiet and dark allowing a great night's sleep. There is a full functioning kitchenette with gas oven stove top, microwave, air fryer, toaster and all utensils etc to allow a full feast to be prepared. Fresh water is plumbed in for drinking and personal bathing use. Everything is provided guests don't need to bring anything unless they want to. The Hasta is professionally cleaned after each guest stay to ensure hygiene standards. On the outside is a rear covered patio with blinds and an extended swim deck to allow direct water access. This is a major feature that we love! Its fantastic sitting on the rear deck taking in the abundant wildlife, sun sets and rises and the serenity of the river and distant open country view. There is a large esky for ice cold beverages, a complimentary bag of ice is supplied but guests can bring more as well. A gas operated heater is at hand to provide a warm and cosy atmosphere on colder evenings. A BBQ is at hand to cook up an outdoor feast with plenty of sitting space to eat under the stars. The mooring position is perfect for protected swimming and there is a swim ladder for ease of movement into an out of the water. You can also bring your own fishing gear, water toy such as a jet ski or tinny to use and tie up against the swim deck. There are 2 single person canoes available for guests to use. Limited size water safety vests are provided but guests can bring their own as well. The Hasta is a non smoking environment on board. Unfortunately the Hasta is not suitable for mobility assistance devices as the deck access and doorways are narrow and the living area is stepped down.
