120 year old paddlesteamer transformed into Echuca’s latest 5-star attraction
Enjoy an unforgettable experience along one of Australia’s greatest rivers in The Hero, Echuca’s new 5-star luxury paddle steamer, superbly restored and fitted-out to the finest detail.
Originally built in 1874 to cart firewood from Barmah Forest to the Echuca Wharf, The Hero is 28 meters long and fully licensed to carry up to 75 passengers in unequalled comfort. The river boat’s restoration marries legendary heritage and Victorian era splendour with the best of modern comforts, resulting in an historical vessel that is a heady mix of today’s technology and old-world elegance.
With a cleverly concealed commercial kitchen and bar to allow for high quality catering and a state of the art sound system, The Hero is available exclusively for private charter, overnight accommodation, weddings, events and corporate occasions.
