What a great place! Unfortunately they weren't serving food for reasons out of their control, but the building itself, top level bar and views are fabulous! We enjoyed a few cocktails and watching everything the river had to show. Keen to return back to dine!

The restaurant floats at the base of Noosa river with an excellent selection of modern Australian cuisine. The Chiefs special yellow curry with tofu was excellent!!

We recently held my husbands 50th birthday celebration at the Boathouse. From the time of booking to when we left the event, the entire function was faultless. The team were exceptional, friendly and… accommodating. It's been a long time since I've experienced service of this standard. All of our guests also raved about the food, venue, and service. I would highly recommend this venue for all occasions to everyone.
