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.

THE LOGISTICS

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.

THE ACCESS

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.

THE LIMITS

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.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this arrangement suits — and who should reconsider.

1
Active FamiliesA strong match: family groups hiring a tinny or kayak benefit from allocated parking, provided life jackets and fuel, and simple, scheduled access — provided everyone can manage the stair descent.
2
Boaters & FishersIdeal for small groups heading out in aluminium tinnies (up to six people) who value the convenience of supplied fuel and jackets; ensure you book parking in advance to secure a bay.
3
Travelers with limited mobilityNot recommended without prior consultation: the carpark is street level but reaching the waterfront requires descending about 90 stairs; contact the operator on 9456 3024 before booking to discuss options.
4
Flexible day-trippersIf you prefer to arrive without a reservation, street parking nearby is free and unrestricted; the carpark bays are exclusively for confirmed kiosk customers who have pre-paid and pre-booked.
