If you’re planning a trip to Melbourne to watch the AFL, make sure to visit Studley Park Boathouse for a peaceful escape along the Yarra River!
Located under 10 kilometres from Melbourne’s CBD, the boathouse dates back more than 150 years and is one of the cities most iconic landmarks. Since it’s opening in 1863, the boathouse has been a magnet for those seeking solace along the serene banks of the Yarra River, hiring boats to row and float down the waterway amidst the willow trees. Now, after a fresh renovation, the venue has been transformed into a dining, drinking and entertainment space, with the historic charm of the 1800s.
Sample the fresh and locally sourced menu, including some of the best fish and chips in VIC! Afterwards, you can hit the water, rowing up stream while taking in the beauty of the river’s natural landscape.
Studley Park Boathouse is perfect for families, offering a range of events and activities for the little ones, like the Mini Explorers! Every Sunday, kids come together to take part in a variety of outdoor activities like planting herbs, making artworks with nature and learning about the environment they live in. The perfect time for the parents to kick back and enjoy a delightful Sunday meal.
Whether you’re a local or planning to make a trip to Melbourne, visit Studley Park Boathouse – you can make the perfect day out and soak up the views while having a bite or a brew!
