The Boathouse Tavern is a family-friendly pub in Hope Island, Gold Coast, centred on modern Australian cuisine and a relaxed atmosphere. The venue says it uses fresh local produce and offers first-class service, with dining available seven days a week.
Its Waterfire Bar & Restaurant is set around water features, fire torches and cabana huts, creating a distinctive setting for a family meal, drinks with friends or a special event. The space is designed with families in mind, including a jumping castle, children’s games and an entertainment area. It also has resident dragon lizards on the deck, which guests can see from a respectful distance.
There is live entertainment on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, while the wider hotel includes bars, gaming, TAB, functions and a bottleshop. The venue also promotes weekly lunch and dinner deals, although current details are best checked directly before visiting.
The Boathouse is owned and operated by the Fortitudo Group.

The venue’s website also describes it as a meeting point between Brisbane and the southern Gold Coast.
