The accolades and reviews speak for themselves. Portside Cafe/Restaurant, established in 2019, has consistently been voted Best Restaurant and Best Dining Experience, positioning it as a standout leader in the regional hospitality scene.

This fully licensed cafe/restaurant is renowned for its modern approach to food and service and enjoys an enviable reputation across the region.

A key driver of its success is its prime waterfront location. Situated just minutes from Maryborough's main retail and business precinct, Portside offers a memorable dining experience with views over the Mary River and surrounding parklands. Patrons can enjoy both indoor and alfresco dining, set within beautifully manicured grounds.
The business occupies the ground floor of the iconic Customs House, a charming heritage-listed building surrounded by some of Australia's finest early 1800s heritage architecture. Importantly, all heritage matters are the responsibility of the Lessor, allowing the operator to focus solely on the business.
With the owners planning their next venture, this is a well-established, profitable business package offered by genuinely motivated vendors.
