Looking for a Queenstown wedding venue with a bit of history and a lake view thrown in? The Boat Shed Cafe is available for weddings, functions and private events on the Frankton waterfront.
Set inside a restored 1869 shipping office at Frankton Marina, The Boat Shed offers something few Queenstown venues can, real history, a genuine waterfront setting, and an outdoor deck with uninterrupted views across the water to The Remarkables.
Comfortable for 50 seated indoors or up to 80 standing, it's a fitting backdrop for anything from an intimate dinner to a full site takeover.

A building with a story
The Boat Shed sits inside a restored 1869 New Zealand Railways Shipping Office, relocated to Frankton Marina in 1936. It's a genuinely different setting, not a function room dressed up to look interesting, but a building that already has history built in.
A view worth the occasion
Our deck looks straight out over Lake Whakatipu to The Remarkables, an outlook that does most of the work for you when it comes to impressing a room.
Food and drink done properly
With sustainability front of mind, our seasonal menu is built around locally procured ingredients, backed by a full license featuring regional wines and beers.
