About The Boathouse Balmoral
The Boathouse Balmoral sits directly on Balmoral Beach in Mosman, looking across Hunters Bay to Middle Head. It is one of Sydney's most photographed beachfront rooms: whitewashed timber, rattan chairs, linen umbrellas and Norfolk pines framing flat, sheltered water.
The kitchen leans hard on seafood — Sydney rock oysters, whole grilled fish, prawn rolls — and the room runs from breakfast through to a long lunch. Weekends book out early, particularly through spring and summer.
Arriving by water is the easiest way in. Balmoral has no parking to speak of on a warm weekend, and a water taxi drops you at the baths or the Balmoral public wharf a short walk from the front door. From Circular Quay, Rose Bay or Manly it is a short harbour run.
