"This is a gem that you don’t suspect in Patonga! From the deco(rations), to the staff to the food! Everything was perfect! Get indoor and outdoor sitting areas with live music on Sundays! Recommended for dates, family gatherings or even
a little spoil for someone visiting from out of town! View is amazing too! Highly recommend!"

"Had a large group for my Birthday party - everything was organised as expected and the service right down to the serving of the cake was excellent. Everybody enjoyed their meals and a good time was had by all, at a great waterfront location. Well done Boathouse Patonga!"
