Food scene Lake Boga

Walking distance from our house, and the only cafe on the lakeside. Enjoy the beautiful views while you have a coffee or sample some of the meals - all made with local produce from one of our fave local chefs. Boo also sells local produce that you can take home like olives, spice mixes, olive oil, choccys and granolas. There is also a playground right out the front to keep the kids entertained. Definitely make a booking if you have a large group or it’s a long weekend - they are busy! Open Thurs - Sunday. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoosPlaceLakeBoga/

Swan Hill Sightseeing

Sitting alongside the Murray River, Swan Hill is the main shopping and transport hub for the area. You’ll find major supermarkets here like Coles, Woolworths and Aldi as well as McDonalds and KFC. You will also find major retailers like KMart, Cotton On and Bunnings. However, our local fruit and veg and butchers, foodies, boutiques, and retailers is where you’ll find the real magic of Swan Hill. And don’t forget to take a photo with The Big Cod! Located at the train station.

Swan Hill Food Scene

Cocktail and burger bar located in the Main Street of Swan Hill. The menu is ever changing and the vibe is funky and fresh. Open for lunches and dinners. Their cocktail specials are always great, and they’ll have your old faves like a mojito and a spicy marg. Peachy’s has a sister tavern approx. 20mins out of Swan Hill called the Koraleigh General Store. It’s a bit of a drive from Lake Boga but it is the best food I’ve ever eaten.

Ask anyone who has ever been to Swan Hill, and they’ll all tell you to put Java Spice at the top of your list to visit! The space is incredibly beautiful, with outdoor Bali huts to sit in or inside with the traditional timber features. And the best Indonesian / Thai food I’ve ever eaten! So delicious. They do have a takeaway menu but for the full experience I recommend booking yourself in a hut and enjoying the atmosphere. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/java.spiceswanhill/

My personal fave is the chicken schnitzel sushi, the spicy pork and the spicy Korean fried chicken. De-lish! Lunch times they have a quick takeaway fridge / Bain Marie. If you want takeaway for dinner I recommend ordering early! Even ordering at lunch time would be a great idea - they are super busy for night time takeaways and meals. Book a table a few days in advance to avoid disappointment over the weekends.

Newly renovated, this place is absolutely gorgeous and a great place to enjoy a drink and a meal - any time of the year! Sit by the fireplace during the winter or get out on the sundeck in the summer. There is also a HUGE tv in the sports bar and a nightclub upstairs.

Sister cafe to Boo’s Lakeside - check out this little gem if you are looking even more Boo’s magic. Right next door to the information centre, and a gorgeous shopping boutique called Poppy and Lola.

A newly opened cafe - really great coffee, tasty toasties and homemade sweet treats. These guys used to be our local mobile coffee van but they have just opened up a bricks and mortar store. Check out their socials for the specials because the menu is always changing. This place is also open on weekends for breakfast / takeaway coffees and treats.
