Book NowAbout Shed
Tucked beside the bobbing yachts of Akuna Bay, Shed delivers an unhurried waterfront escape deep inside Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. Boaters tie up at the marina slips while bushwalkers and cyclists swing by for a well-earned refuel. The routine is wonderfully straightforward—order at the counter, grab a woven seat on the waterside deck, and let the kitchen run plates out to the table with zero bill-splitting fuss at the end. Diners gravitate toward crisp battered flathead fillets with crunchy chips, smoky grilled prawns, and tender salt and pepper calamari tossed with fresh tentacles.
- Marina & Park Access: Arrive by water and moor right at the marina, or pull off General San Martin Drive into ample bay parking.
- Easy Counter Ordering: Walk-up counter ordering with food delivered right to your indoor or outdoor waterside table.
- Fresh Bay Seafood: Classic beer-battered flathead, seasoned salt-and-pepper calamari, and smoky charred seafood plates.

Before you head over
Practical tips on ordering, marina arrival, and weekday menu availability.
Order at the counter
Place your order at the counter upon arrival before taking a seat; runners deliver food and beverages directly to your table, avoiding end-of-meal bill delays.
Plan boat and watercraft mooring
Watercraft visitors arriving via Akuna Bay can coordinate tie-up and berthing directly with marina staff, with midday visits being busier than quiet midweek moorings.
Check Monday hot food availability
Note that the kitchen offers limited hot food options on Mondays, so check the day's menu schedule if you are visiting early in the week.
