Book NowAbout Buoy Kiosk
Right on the North Harbour Walk, Buoy Kiosk pairs clear bay views with dialed-in espresso and twenty timber-deck seats over the marina. Boats drifting past, harbor breeze, and the kind of pace where you easily lose track of the arvo. Walkers treat the counter as an essential pitstop, balancing coffee with warm house scones and loaded potato rolls. The kitchen pulls its weight on savories, too—especially the bowl of soup finished with a sharp drizzle of chilli oil.
- Harbour Marina Deck: Perched directly over the bay with roughly twenty timber-deck seats built for coffee and boat watching.
- Inventive Savory Bites: Features satisfying soups drizzled with chilli oil alongside loaded potato sub rolls.
- Coastal Walk Provisions: Dialed-in espresso, house-baked scones, and vanilla foam iced long blacks fueling the harbour track.

Utilize Beach Spillover Seating
When the 20 timber deck seats are occupied, take takeaway orders down to the adjacent sandy beach or continue along the coastal trail toward Forty Baskets Beach.
