Auckland House

Auckland House sits at the East Shores precinct overlooking Gladstone Harbour, a casual indoor-outdoor venue with a deck facing the marina. The water-facing deck is the reason it works so well for dog owners: it pairs harbour views with an easy spot for the dog after a foreshore walk.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor and alfresco areas, particularly the deck overlooking the water. As with QLD food premises, the indoor dining room is people-only. The deck has plenty of room for a dog to settle beside the table. Staff are generally accommodating, but bring your own water bowl.

Good to know. The harbour and marina outlook is the headline, with sunset and boat-watching views, plus live music at times. The menu is broad and casual; reviewers single out the snapper, Angus burger and chicken parmigiana. It is a busy, social weekend spot.

Getting there. Within the East Shores development in Gladstone Central, with ample parking in the adjacent public carpark and flat, paved access from the car park to the deck.

Nearby with the dogs. The East Shores parklands next door have walking paths and grassy areas, and a paved marina walking track runs along the water. Check signage, as some parts of the precinct have leash rules or restricted zones.

Best for a weekend lunch or sunset drink after a foreshore walk. Good for sociable dogs comfortable in a busy, open setting.
