"There is nothing- absolutely nothing- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."
-Ratty said to Mole in Kenneth Grahame's beloved 1908 classic, The Wind in the Willows.

Located less than 5kms from the Melbourne CBD, The Boatshed Cafe and Boat Hire offers a unique and fabulous Melbourne meeting point for families and friends.

We’re famous (almost) for our Toasties and our coffee is sensational.

We offer fantastic basic fare for breakfast and lunch, our cakes and slices are delicious.

Kids (and kids at heart) love our milkshakes and ice-creams.

We have paddle boats, kayaks and sailing dinghies for the family to enjoy.

So, please visit us and take in the delights that this Melbourne landmark has to offer.
