A few words from Shelter Shed

Tucked just moments from the water at Queenscliff Harbour, Shelter Shed is the kind of place that feels like it's always been there — relaxed, welcoming, and full of heart.

Set among lush greenery with an easy garden atmosphere, Shelter Shed is now dedicated to hosting weddings, private events and special celebrations. It's a space designed for gathering — where locals and visitors alike can come together to mark meaningful moments in a setting that feels both intimate and effortlessly relaxed.

From weddings and engagement parties to milestone birthdays, long-table lunches and corporate gatherings, every event at Shelter Shed is tailored to suit the occasion. With flexible spaces, thoughtful menus and a team focused on warm, personal service, we create experiences that feel seamless from start to finish.

The venue offers a unique blend of historic charm and coastal ease. Our cosy indoor dining room provides an intimate setting for smaller gatherings, while the leafy courtyard — complete with grand marquee — is perfect for larger celebrations, offering a beautiful backdrop year-round.

Shelter Shed is more than just a venue. It's a place where people come together to celebrate, connect and create lasting memories. Whether it's an intimate wedding, a birthday with family and friends, or a private event designed just for you, the focus is always on making your occasion feel special.

The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between relaxed coastal charm and polished hospitality. Clean lines, natural textures and a welcoming layout create a setting that's versatile, comfortable and genuinely inviting.

Throughout the cooler months, Shelter Shed is available for exclusive hire, offering a private and personalised experience for your event.

We look forward to welcoming you back for regular dining in Spring — and in the meantime, to hosting your next celebration.
