Boathouse Restaurant - Daylesford

Located on the banks of Lake Daylesford, with exquisite water views from any vantage point.

The Boathouse Restaurant offers a sophisticated dining venue for lunch and dinner.

Crack the top of this crème brûlée and you get the contrast that makes the dish worth ordering in the first place: a thin, torched sugar shell giving way to a soft custard underneath. That custard is set with Papua New Guinea vanilla, which leans more peppery and floral than the sweeter Madagascan vanilla most people know.

Alongside it, an Ebène dark chocolate ganache rolled into a cigar and dusted to look the part, with pistachio for crunch against all that softness.

Full menu and bookings are on our website.

A short week, a long weekend, and the perfect excuse to spend a little more time in Daylesford. Why not book a dining experience with us by the lake to set the tone?

Wild harvested red deer from South West Victoria, leaner and more intense in flavour than farmed venison, finished with a seed crust for crunch. It comes with a roasted vegetable pavé, beetroot purée, prune confit and a lingonberry jus. Prune and lingonberry are both classic partners for venison, their sweetness balancing out the lean meat.

Bee’s Knees: Daylesford Spirit Distillery gin, yuzu, and honey from just north of Daylesford in Maldon. A classic cocktail with a local touch, bright and lightly floral.

Perfect for a spring lunch or to begin the evening by the lake.

A baked cheesecake sets denser and more custardy than the no-bake kind, which is why it needs more than one sharp element to cut through it. This one gets three: an elderflower aero for something light and floral, a lime gel for straightforward acidity, and a yuzu sponge, yuzu being a Japanese citrus with more going on than lemon or lime alone.

Apple strudel, finished tableside with salted caramel poured straight over the top.

Strudel dough is stretched paper thin rather than rolled, which is why it shatters instead of flaking like puff pastry. Ours comes with a mille-feuille ice cream alongside, a French pastry technique turning up in frozen form right next to an Austrian one.

It's the kind of dessert worth saving room for. Full menu and bookings are on our website.

Flowers are in bloom, the days grow longer and warmer, and our historic venue on Lake Daylesford becomes a feast for all the senses.

On fine days dining on the deck becomes a prime location, and as spring produce makes its way from the local farms to our kitchen, the ingredients on the plate become as vibrant as the view itself.

Join us for lunch Wednesday to Sunday, or dinner Thursday to Saturday.

Christmas is one of the few times all year everyone actually sits down together, and that means more than anything wrapped up under a tree. This year, let us take care of the food and the dining room duties, so all you have to do is show up and be there with the people you love.

Last year was our first Christmas Lunch, and it sold out. There's already a waiting list building for this one. If you're thinking about it, get your group talking now; we'd love to guarantee everyone a seat.

Adult : $295PP (12+ years)
An optional beverage package $200PP includes Champagne, Wines, Cocktails & Beer

Date: 25th December 2026

A glass of Taittinger is par for the course when starting many meals at The Boathouse. The house has been family-run in Reims since 1734, and their NV Champagne Taittinger Brut Prestige is a popular choice for good reason.

Ask for a glass or a bottle when you sit down. Full wine list and bookings are on our website.
