About Spoons Riverside

Perched right over the Little Murray River, Spoons Riverside pairs tranquil water views with hearty brekky favourites and regional charm. Morning regulars stake out tables on the sprawling timber deck—dogs welcome in tow—while paddle steamers drift past the neighbouring Pioneer Settlement. The kitchen leans into generous plates, from chilli scrambled eggs hit with crisp shallots to slow-braised lamb and house-baked scones with jam and cream. An attached pantry shop offers local condiments and regional gifts before you head out.

  • Little Murray Deck: Spacious outdoor timber deck built right over the Little Murray River welcomes dining alongside local birdlife and four-legged companions.
  • Pioneer Settlement Access: Directly adjacent to the historic attraction, allowing easy meal breaks between heritage park visits and paddle steamer sightings.
  • Regional Pantry & Gifts: On-site store stocked with regional produce, artisan pantry goods, and takeaway treats.
