The Mildura Boathouse

The Mildura Boathouse sits right on the Murray at 143 Hugh King Drive, a modern Australian restaurant with an elevated deck overlooking the river. It is openly dog-welcoming on that deck, which makes it one of the better riverfront sit-down options if you want a proper meal with your dog along.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome on the large outdoor dining deck above the river. Enter via the exterior deck and check in with staff on arrival; the indoor dining room is not for pets. Keep your dog leashed and under the table on what is a popular, busy deck, and bring a water bowl to be safe.

Good to know. It runs the full day, from brunch and lunch through to dinner, cocktails and sunset drinks, with a modern Australian menu built on regional produce. The river view is the headline.

Getting there. Free public parking sits directly on Hugh King Drive and along the riverfront, with the riverfront walking paths leading right to the door.

Nearby with the dogs. The riverfront paths run alongside for a pre- or post-meal walk, the Old Mildura Wharf is a short historic stroll, and the Rio Vista fenced dog park is close for off-leash time.

Late afternoon for sunset drinks is the sweet spot. Dinner service on the deck gets busy, so book ahead and ask for a deck table when you do.
