Six Places To Eat And Drink In Boddington
Boddington is a little town 90 minutes south-east of Perth CBD, conveniently placed right off the Albany Highway, which many travellers use to get from Perth to Albany and other beautiful southern places. Boddington has a welcoming atmosphere for a small town, owing to the diversity of the residents, and visitors who work, rest and play there. The locals tend to be helpful and pleasant with a good story to tell. Visiting for the night and spending the day is a popular option because it breaks up a lengthy journey.
Boddington is known as the Peel Region's eastern gateway and is home to several places to eat and drink without having to venture far from the town centre.
1. Conveniently positioned at the recently constructed Hotham Foreshore Recreation Ground, 124 Café is open seven days a week by the Hotham River. While the kids play, you may catch up with family and friends in the outdoor seating area that overlooks the park. A variety of options are available on the menu, including freshly prepared curry blended with a lovely combination of spices. Burgers, kebabs, pizzas, breakfasts, and seafood are all options if spicy food isn't your thing. The team has created a relaxing environment where customers can choose to eat in without feeling rushed and enjoy the ambience. Why not call for a takeout if you want to spend the evening at home without cooking?
2. Double Shot Café, located in the heart of Boddington (opposite the Boddington Motel) along the main stretch, provides a lovely location for a coffee and a cake. The ideal spot for a great breakfast, brunch, or lunch – breakfasts are also offered for lunch. The coffee is excellent, prepared from coffee beans, and served to your taste. This is the place to go if you're craving a double shot espresso, latte, americano, or whatever your favourite cup is. A fantastic place to meet up with friends and catch up. Open: Weds-Sun, 8 a.m – 2 p.m.
3. Aha, a Golden Nugget, is exactly what you might think when you find this one-stop shop for takeout food, booze, and the Lotto...oh, and you can also do your laundry here. The menu offers a variety of burgers, speciality sausages, chicken, and, of course, chips. While you wait for your laundry, this is a great spot to grab a quick lunch, a beverage, and a lottery ticket. Ideal for visitors, local workers, and locals alike.
4. Boddington Hotel is the local bar where you can enjoy a cold pint while eating classic pub grub such as chicken parmi, steak and chips, seafood basket, burgers, and pizzas. There’s seating both inside and out for a warmer evening, plus the option to eat in, or take out.
