We recently hosted a dinner for 65 guests at The Boathouse Shelly Beach, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. From the moment we started planning, the team at The Boathouse made everything seamless. Samantha Grooms and Laura Bowles were an absolute pleasure to work with—professional, responsive, organised and genuinely invested in ensuring our event was a success. The venue itself was simply stunning. The beautiful beachfront setting and elegant event setup created the perfect atmosphere for our evening. The food was exceptional, the service was attentive and professional, and every detail was executed flawlessly. It made for a memorable evening that our guests loved. We would highly recommend The Boathouse Shelly Beach to anyone looking to host a corporate event, business function or special celebration. The team at Lifestyle Tradie would like to thank you for helping us deliver such a fantastic experience—we look forward to returning in the future!
A great breakfast destination after a beach trail walk. The sun was shining, the vibe was buzzing and the food was delicious. We tried the brioche and the corn fritters, both presented beautifully and insta worthy! Lovely views too 👌 There was a little wait for our coffees but the food came out like a rocket.
Fabulous for families, singles,couples, groups. Easy access, relaxed vibe. Accessible tables, bathrooms and all other main areas. We had breakfast. Bacon egg roll was nice, hash browns, avacado on toast. All very tasty. Coffee was outstanding.
Such a lovely place to unwind, especially if you enjoy quiet spots with a nice view. The atmosphere is very relaxing and not too crowded, perfect for a slow coffee or light meal. I’ve been exploring more around this area lately and found it pairs really well with a wellness day. I had a treatment at Mystic Spa Sydney Petersham earlier, then came here to chill after – honestly a perfect combo for a reset day. If you’re around Inner West and looking for something calm and aesthetic, definitely worth stopping by.
