Five Bays, One Descent: Parking at Cottage Point for Kiosk Guests
Allocated, level off-street parking at 1 Notting Lane is reserved for Cottage Point Kiosk customers with confirmed bookings; this guide explains access, booking rules, and the 90-step descent to the waterfront.
Five Bays, One Descent: Parking at Cottage Point for Kiosk Guests.
Cottage Point’s carpark is set up to serve Cottage Point Kiosk & Boat Hire customers: an allocated, level bay at 1 Notting Lane that puts you a short, steep walk from the water. The kiosk’s boat-hire operation runs aluminium tinnies that seat up to six, with life jackets and fuel provided and no licence required — making the site ideal for groups and families planning to dine, hire a boat or kayak, or head out fishing.

Allocated bays for Kiosk customers
Parking at Cottage Point is available only to Cottage Point Kiosk customers with a confirmed reservation; each booking reserves one allocated bay for the duration of the selected timeslot, with a 15‑minute grace period either side in most cases.
Street‑level lot, steep descent to the waterfront
The carpark sits at street level at 1 Notting Lane; access to the venue requires descending approximately 90 stairs from the carpark to the waterfront, a key consideration for anyone with mobility concerns.
Small, scheduled bays — book before you arrive
There are a limited number of bays (headline notes five spots available) and the carpark is open only on days the kiosk is open between 8:00am and 4:00pm; pre‑booking and pre‑payment are essential — no phone, same‑day or drive‑up bookings are accepted.
What the day feels like
What parking here feels like
Arrive with your booking confirmation, ease into a reserved, level bay, and prepare for a short but unmistakable change of pace: a downward walk of roughly 90 stairs to the waterfront where tinnies, kayaks and the kiosk await. The operator supplies life jackets and fuel for hires, the aluminium tinnie seats up to six people, and no boating licence is required — practical simplicity designed around short, scheduled stays.
