Find accommodationWhatever kind of visit you’re planning
Four common ways people use King Street Wharf, each with a real starting point.
A midday table on the water, in and out without rushing. Start with a restaurant, check parking before you drive in, then find the closest entrance.
Drinks with a harbour view, maybe a cruise first. Start with a bar, check what’s on tonight, then confirm your wharf if you’re departing by boat.
A group night that doesn’t need a booking at every stop. Start with bowling, karaoke or escape rooms, then move on to a bar or restaurant nearby.
Here for a meeting, a lease enquiry or a quick lunch between calls. Start with parking, then commercial listings if you’re here for business.
