Quick, quick, hurry up. If we pack up now we can be there in 30 minutes!

This cafe is in a lovely location, right by the beautiful Baths. There are scrumptious views over the beach and the harbour, I love watching all the bobbing boats.

I’ve had a few wonderful times sitting on this cafe deck, mind you, not with the kids.  When the kids come too, we only get takeaway as I can’t pry them off the beach or out of the playground.

Which is just the way it should be.

Balmoral Boatshed Cafe

By the Baths, 2 The Esplanade, Balmoral Beach 2088

Phone: 9969 6006

Website: www.balmoralboatshed.com.au

Open: Daily 7am–5pm

Alongside the baby and toddler-friendly Baths area of Balmoral Beach, right beside the water, is this terrific cafe.

Food can be taken away as well as eaten in the cafe, very handy for mums and dads of littlies.

Drinks, snacks and full breakfasts, lunches are served. And don’t forget the ice blocks.

A large deck overlooks the baths, it can be very crowded at times and strollers can be a problem.

The cafe can be a very hectic place on warm summer days, but the staff remain swift and cheery under pressure.

Toilets/Baby change: Yes, inside kiosk. There are toilets in the changing room, shower and toilet block at the baths.

Highchairs: Yes

Children’s menu: Yes

Mum’s report: When the children are a bit older you can watch them play on the beach from the cafe—luxury.

Extra: The excellent playground is close, its rubber softfall making it good for crawlers. All the joys and pleasures of Balmoral Beach.

Map reference: Gregory’s 317 E7, Sydway 258 J19, UBD 217 E7

Parking: There are meter parking spaces all along the Esplanade and also a pay carpark at the southern end of the beach, beside the oval

Nearest ferry: Balmoral Wharf, summer service only

Bus stop nearby: Yes

 Have you enjoyed the views from this lovely cafe?

Or shall I meet you there in 30 minutes?

It looks fabulous, if only I lived just a little bit closer – it’s a fair trek from Adelaide! I love finding a good child-friendly cafe, there are more and more these days, but still many that are just so not great at catering for kids.
