About Us

Nestled beside the calm waters of Audley Weir in the Royal National Park, By the Weir and the historic Audley Boat Shed offer a simple invitation — slow down, explore, and savour nature.

The Audley Boat Shed has been part of Australian outdoor culture since 1893, hiring boats to generations of visitors. From peaceful paddles along Hacking River to family adventures exploring Kangaroo Creek, this riverside landmark has welcomed explorers for over a century.

By the Weir continues that spirit of connection. More than just a kiosk, it’s a place to gather, rest, refuel and share stories after a day out on the water. With great coffee, easy bites and relaxed seating by the riverbank, it’s where adventures begin, and memories settle.

Together, we celebrate everything the Royal National Park embodies — nature, history, community and the joy of the outdoors. Whether you’re here to row, ride, paddle, picnic or simply sit by the water, we’re here to make your day feel effortless and unforgettable.
