A New Chapter: Transitioning from Restaurant to Retail and Accommodation
We have some big news to share with you! After much thought and careful consideration, we’ve decided to embark on a new journey and change the direction of our business. We will be transitioning from a restaurant to a retail shop and accommodation (commencing a renovation very soon, set to open in late 2025).
Why the Change?
This decision was not made lightly. Over the past five years, we've loved serving you delicious meals and creating memorable dining experiences. However, as we look to the future, we believe that evolving into a retail space allows us to better serve our community in a new and exciting way. This change will enable us to focus on what we love most—bringing high-quality, unique products to you, our cherished customers. The plan to add quality accommodation upstairs and in the distillery space will mean we are targeting small numbers which ultimately supports the community’s views on tourism.
Our friends @furneauxdistillery are moving into their own brand new premises not too far away as they continue to expand. Their delicious gin and whisky will continue to be available at the wharf and tastings now take place at their new place when they open. We thank them for being part of the Wharf and can’t wait for locals and visitors to experience their amazing facilities and farm.
What You Can Expect:
Our new retail shop will feature a curated selection of locally made take-home meals using Island ingredients, focusing on breakfast, lunch and dinner items, Tasmanian wine and other local or Tasmanian pantry products. These products have been carefully chosen to reflect the same passion for quality and creativity that you’ve come to expect from us. We’re excited to bring you items that inspire and delight, whether for your own home or as thoughtful gifts for others. We will also continue to support Park Run on Saturdays. We love being part of such a great community initiative.

Every good story starts with a decision to step into the unknown.
For us, that ‘unknown’ was Flinders Island, with its wild, rugged landscape, abundant farmland and pristine oceans. There is something about this place that calls to people who are yearning for something outside the norm.
Emily Fitzgerald and Jo Youl have come together to start a Label where you can now purchase the in-house items. From towels, linen and homewares. the range will be developing over time.
