Recently had a meal at the Boatshed. Coffee was good, food was tasty and we'll presented.
Loaded bagel, was our choice, but for $19.00 and only half a toasted bagel, a bit pricey....
Is this the most expensive bagel in the Whakatipu?

Not usually one to leave reviews but the service we got from Shannon was so great we couldn’t not! So friendly and helpful, easily the best service we’ve had during our trip here. Made such a difference that we’re going to have to come back. Food was amazing too, genuinely don’t think you can go wrong with any of the meals! Our top recommendation in Queenstown

Awesome place - amazing views, nice and warm, trendy, food was delicious, those roast potatoes are to die for. A few vegan options and the cauliflower and mushroom salad with roti was actually so tasty!

Undoubtedly the best cafe and coffee in Queenstown. This place was a highlight during my trip to Queenstown thanks to its first class coffee and lovely staff. The food was just as good as the coffee and all was delivered with smile as you overlooked the lake from a vantage point that is second to none. Shout out to Conor for making us the coffee and his colleague who delivered it (who in my opinion did such a great job she deserves a raise)

Definently check it out while you’re in town, or do what I did and make a daily visit!

We stopped in on our cycle around the lake. The views and the friendly service were faultless but it was the leek and potato soup for me! Amazing. It was very busy but our server really took the time out to engage in conversation. The wee knee rugs for a chilly outdoor seating area were a lovely touch as well. I would definitely recommend the boatshed.
