About this space

Community Rowing Inc. is a non-profit boathouse and rowing centre. The venue's defining quality is that it functions primarily as an active rowing and training facility rather than a conventional event space.

Design: The boathouse presents a contemporary timber-clad exterior with a continuous band of glazing; interiors prioritise utility, featuring high ceilings, wide windows and strong natural light.

Features: The building houses a second-floor training centre equipped with ergometers, exercise bikes, a weight area, classroom space and locker rooms. The event areas include air conditioning, abundant natural light, wheelchair access and permission to play your own music.

Ideal for: Rowing clubs, sports organisations and community groups seeking relaxed, practical gatherings and post-training socialising.

What sets it apart: A private timber boardwalk and floating dock attached to the boathouse provides an on-water platform for ceremonies or receptions.

What guests say: The grounds are described as beautiful and visually striking. The training facilities are noted as comprehensive and well-equipped year-round.
