Fairfield Park Drive, Fairfield

Round out your weekend with some fresh air and a healthy dose of nature by heading out for a Sunday morning splash along the Yarra. A picturesque riverside spot just seven kilometres out of the city, Fairfield Boathouse has a watercraft situation to suit everyone, with a range of canoes, kayaks, and even hand-built Thames-replica rowing skiffs. Pick your favourite for a relaxing river jaunt, then cap off the adventure with a visit to the Boathouse's historic tearoom, where you can reward yourself with a traditional Devonshire Tea.
