Blockhouse Bay is known for its lovely beach. Many people picnic there in summer, with the large grass reserve area there is plenty of space for everybody. A playground caters for the Children and there are bush walks which many enjoy.

Community groups also have Christmas and Easter events there with stages set up for bands and entertainment.

Whether you are after dining in or taking out the Village has many options to choose from. We are very lucky to have the choice of two cafes and two sushi shops, both fantastic with a few seating areas if you wish to eat there. 

If you are looking at some takeaway options we offer Chinese, Fish and Chips, Thai, kebabs and Indian.  The licensed Indian Restaurant is also a fantastic place to dine with great food if you are looking for a night out. Two Dairy’s are very handy to grab anything you need both in convenient locations. We are excited to have a Supermarket opening later this year.

Finally, if you are after that sweet treat, we have a great ice cream shop. Come treat yourself or the kids.
