Weekend plans? We’ve got a few ideas...

Coffee by the water, a long lunch, a paddle around the bay or a few hours exploring Cowan Creek by boat.

And if doing absolutely nothing but watching the boats go by sounds more appealing, we’re pretty good at accommodating that too!

See you at the Kiosk this weekend!

Four kids, two very busy parents and not a whole lot of spare time so we absolutely loved seeing friends of ours choose one of our Picnic Boats for some proper family time together.

A few hours on the water, swimming, exploring and just being together and a very special first boating adventure for their beautiful baby! Sometimes it really is the simple things that make the best memories.

Our Picnic Boats are perfect for a family of six, easy to drive and no boat licence is needed. With the school holidays nearly here, jump online, book a boat and have your own little family adventure!

And a big thank you to our beautiful friends for letting us share this photo of their gorgeous boys and the connection they have. We love you guys! ❤️

We’re a little late getting around to this one, but Father’s Day was a huge day here at Cottage Point!

Beautiful weather, live music, lots of families, plenty of food and a very busy Kiosk.
Even our daughter Sia was put to work making milkshakes after making the Father’s Day colouring-in poster! What better way to spend Father’s Day with dad than helping him out at work.🤣

Thanks to everyone who spent part of the day with us, and a huge thanks to our team for getting us through such a busy Sunday!

Also a big shout out to OLTAY for the groovy tunes and for letting the Kioskfather behind the mic - sound on! 🔉

We’ve still got a few tables left for Father’s Day on Sunday and a couple of boats too!

If Dad’s more of a coffee-and-breakfast-by-the-water kind of guy, come down early and enjoy a beautiful calm morning by the river.

Or, if he prefers his Father’s Day with a bit more groove, join us for lunch with live music from OLTAY in the afternoon.

Breakfast or lunch. Coffee or b**r. Peace and quiet or a few tunes.

Whatever floats Dad’s boat.
