Lakeside Paddleboats Pty Ltd

Great value for money, 30min is definitely a long time and a leg workout so if you're not into that I'd suggest a 15min session. Staff are helpful and lovely. Card payment or cash availability. Parking is close and cheap if staying all day or just for a while. Plenty of picnic spots, tables, benches, clean toilets, fishing available, a small playground and a workout playground. Great day trip or small trip for a few hours and an easy drive. Highly recommend the paddle boats and Emerald lake Park in general

Great activity for a quick day trip to Emerald, our nearly 5 and 7 year old loved it and would love to come back again soon! 15 minutes is plenty for us and our young kids. Staff members were amazing and helpful too.

Great destination for a day trip from Melbourne or via Puffing Billy from Belgrave, where it's the last station on the line. Aquabike hire is very popular in the warmer months and can be a lot of fun to paddle around the small lake. Especially in summer when the pool is popular for swimming and Autumn when the display of Autumn leaves is stunning. Lots of shady trees and green lawn areas to picnic on, Tables and benches, BBQs if you want, playground for kids and up near the Puffing Billy station a model train museum and walks through the landscape if you feel like it. It can be extremely busy on weekends and difficult to find parking, which you have to pay for. Several toilets around the park as well as a kiosk down near the water and paddle boat rental.

My kids loves it!The 10min ride was perfect for use as need to rush back to the train, perfect timing with great little attractions.

My hubby and I took our teenage kids 2 weeks ago to the paddle boats and our daughter was very scared but the staff were AMAZING and helped her alot. She has autism and got upset at first but then after some encouragement she calmd down and loved it. Highly recommend

Well organised experience. Friendly and affable staff very helpful which made for a smooth experience. Get ready for a big fun leg exercise as it takes a lot of energy to push these fantastic things but so worth it for the unique and pleasant experience which I would recommend to all!

Great experience for family with young children. The staff were friendly and helpful. The scenery around the lake while paddling was gorgeous. Very close proximity to the Puffing Billy railway station.

I really felt compelled to write a review!We visited on Monday and it was such a pleasant experience!What stood out was just how genuinely friendly the staff were. You could feel the warmth!! Fantastic organisation and top notch service! Well done and keep up the great work!!

Great fun activity to do and pretty surrounds. I thought it was very reasonably priced too.
