Definitely deserves a stop if you are in Manly, especially if you are close to Shelly Beach. Good for a quick coffee snack, proper brunch, or a day of chilling by the beach with a beer in your hand. There are so many things I loved about this place:1. The clean, relaxed, beach-house design. What is authenticity? Was it the little boat house that began as a place to store boats, that gradually evolved to include a simple and convenient location to eat and other leisure facilities? Was it the first restaurant away from the waters that tried to emulate the boat house, and cater to a crowd who find themselves in an urban jungle but needed a little escape?

Gorgeous lunch spot with views of Shelly Beach. <br/ There is not a lot of parking around, so why not enjoy the walk from Manly to the Boathouse and enjoy the reward of delicious food and setting when you arrive. A particularly great spot for summer, with fresh juices and a very light and open styled cafe. <br/ <br/ It gets very busy on the weekend (not surprising) so make sure you give yourself additional waiting time although, this is not usually too long. <br/ <br/ The coffee is delicious and I particularly liked the option of buying some fresh flowers on the way out, what better way to finish off a delicious brunch right on the beach?

A great brunch place for a date. There are indoor and outdoor seatings in this cute little cafe on Shelley beach. It has a beautiful view. The dory burger was recommended by the waitor. And he was right! It was delicious! The chips were so soft inside. Usually I stay low on the carbs but I couldnt help myself with this meal. The green salad was also recommended by the waitor. If had a refreshing zetiness to it. Honestly one of the best salads ive tried. <br/ <br/ Will definitely come back for more!

It does look like a lovely place to get married (as I know sometimes happens) and what a glorious place to have coffee or lunch next to the lovely Shelly Beach. A beautiful open and airy space. We had coffee, two of their freshly made juices and a muffin and a brioche with figs, all of which were perfectly acceptable, though they lost the coffee order and there was some wait on that. The food, as it went by, looked good: I'd be willing to come back and try it.
