The Boathouse Shelly Beach

Fabulous location right 50 meters from the beach. On the coastal walk. Plenty of sitting indoor and outdoors. Great menu of beers and cocktails as well as food. Just chil and soak the vibe

It is a beautiful location and really a nice place to go in and have a drink and something to eat. We did not have anything to eat just drinks. The margaritas we had could possibly be in the top 10 of the worst Margaritas, we ever had. Sorry but calling it like I see it!

Great Location - Overpriced food. Paid $22 for a squid appetiser with 14 small pieces and $16 pint of stone and wood. On the plus side they do serve jugs! Lots of tables but music is fairly loud and bush turkeys are ever-present. Great place to get a coffee after a swim- or lunch if you have the funds.

A coffee shop conveniently located right at the corner beach Shelly 🐚 (it's a restaurant so there's food too). Their takeaway cups are cute, there's an anchor ⚓️ printed on them. As this is one of the only two restaurants right next to the beaches, the wait can be quite long for a coffee.

I don’t know what happened in this kitchen, but it definitely wasn’t cooking. After waiting two hours for food from a menu so simple it could fit on a napkin, what arrived was spectacularly disappointing. The fish tacos contained almost no fish — just an aggressive amount of batter, as if the fish had briefly waved at it from another room. Life is made of memories and this fish will always be remembered for being so crap. See photos of excess bater cut off the puny amount of fish. The rest of the taco was just bland, heavy, and pointless. The burgers were forgettable, the chicken was so overcooked it could double as building material, and somehow the fries still managed to be undercooked - they still tasted of raw potato. That’s not easy to achieve. If this is what two hours produces, I’d hate to see what happens when the kitchen is actually busy. Come hungry, bring patience, and lower your expectations to the floor - then dig a little deeper.
