Friends, Brianna Russell + Andrew Goldsmith, saw the massive potential that the old run down Barrenjoey Boathouse had. It was screaming for help, so once they got their hands on it the old Carmel's kiosk was born as THE BOATHOUSE PALM BEACH...
After a month of renovations the pair opened their new cafe doors on 11.11.08.
So who are they?
BRIANNA RUSSELL
Brianna, who hails from Lennox Head NSW, is an interior designer by trade, having completed her course at The Whitehouse Institute of Design. Prior to The Boathouse, Brianna specialised in commercial interior design, all the while yearning to move into the creative world of food and hospitality.
The opportunity arose for Brianna to combine her passion for business and her creativity with the evolution of The Boathouse.
Working away, this was taken in one of the very first weeks that The Boathouse was open for trade.

Only every once in a while enjoying the ocean that The Boathouse is surrounded by we can enjoy... this was taken at our Christmas end of year drinks.
