Aruma Water Ski Resort has six 2 storey fully self-contained shacks, with panoramic views that are available for families, groups or individuals who are interested in a rustic and affordable holiday on the charming Murray River. There is a great sense of community over the festive periods and also during the quieter months; it is a perfect sleepy retreat.

The shacks located at Walker Flat are very earthy in style and are part of a tourism facility including recently upgraded swimming pool, tennis court and boat launching ramp for water-skiing. They are perfect for a low budget holiday for families and groups who love the river and getting back to nature. Each shack is fully equipped with a kitchen, bathroom and sleeps up to 6 guests. Everyone who stays at Aruma absolutely loves it. 

Formerly known as SAB-Aruma, Aruma Ski Resort was previously owned by the South Australian Brewing Company Pty Ltd. The total site area is approximately 16.2 hectares with a river frontage of 457 metres and is located midway between Mannum and Swan Reach, a 100 km drive from Adelaide. A very comfortable distance to travel for a weekender or holiday destination. 

SAB-Aruma Holiday Park was originally established in 1965 as a holiday destination for the Brewery’s employees. It reflects a time when the culture of an organisation was that of sponsor and benefactor. Constructed with 35,000 hours of voluntary labour and financial contribution of the Brewery, a holiday destination for families was produced.

The shacks have a double bed, 2 single beds, and a double bunk. 

Guests provide sheets + towels + toiletries.
