Welcome to Proudfoots By The River Café and Restaurant.

Situated in an historic boathouse on the banks of the majestic Hopkins River, we offer Warrnambool’s only on-the-water dining experience.  Take in the picturesque views while you enjoy a meal in the friendly, relaxed atmosphere. We’re located close to the Southern Right Whale Nursery, right at the end of the world famous Great Ocean Road.

Our chef has designed a delicious modern menu with a focus on using native Australian and fresh local produce. Whether you’re relaxing with a coffee or one of our local wines on the balcony, enjoying a meal or looking for somewhere to host a function, Proudfoots By The River is the perfect venue.
