Iconic Barrenjoey House debuts its coastal chic revamp

The new look comes courtesy of new owners The Boathouse Group.

Like a butterfly emerging from its rather historic cocoon, the 100-year-old Barrenjoey House has just debuted after its lengthy six-month refurb. The revamp is the result of its recent acquisition by the booming Boathouse Group, who also purchased nearby Hotel Patonga in recent months.

But back to Barrenjoey; the historic Palm Beach landmark has cast aside its traditional decor and embraced the trademark Boathouse Group look. The new digs are heavy on the nautical, with the space awash with wicker furniture, exposed timber, white-painted wood, and ample tropical prints. While the eatery may have embraced the same design aesthetic as its fellow Boathouse outlets, this venue will be the group’s restaurant.

“Barrenjoey House is a historic Sydney restaurant,” managing director Andrew Goldsmith said in a statement. “We feel very fortunate to be the new custodians and hope we can do justice to this very special location. Our team are excited to work on a different food concept to our cafes, as well as a different service style.”

Designed by executive chef Thom Williamson and joint head chefs Doug Fraser and Petr Buchel, the accompanying menu gives a nod to its seaside location; think seafood and plenty of it. But it’s not just fish that you’ll be able to tuck into, but lobster, oysters, calamari, and ceviche among others, alongside dishes of pasta, and hearty mains like chicken, lamb, and duck. Excitingly for fans of retro bites, the prawn cocktail has also made its way into the establishment.
