The Boathouse is a new space, an interpretation of a Boatshed with a deliberate Australian feel. Natural radial cut weather boards, a stone fire place, tin sidings, a polished concrete floor and a ceiling of exposed straw. It seems to fit right in - so well in fact it could have been here for years. Once you have made yourself comfortable you'll never want to leave! The Boathouse sits on the Maribyrnong River, a little oasis of gum trees, sloping grass banks, old river terraces, today it belies its industrial past. There is a feeling of pride and history, the sense of community here is undeniably strong. Walkers, children, dogs and bikes, it should be hectic, but some how it is not.
