A guide to Portside Wharf in Hamilton
Take on a new adventure and catch a CityCat to Portside Wharf in Hamilton. The precinct boasts all things 'lifestyle' with river views.
Food
Looking for stunning riverside views and a fresh take on Japanese dining? Try Sono for modern Japanese eats, a teppanyaki bar and sake tasting menu overlooking the water.
If you have a celebration in mind, choose from the award-winning Gusto da Gianni's authentic Italian fare or the designed-to-be-shared banquet menus at Byblos.
Shop
Try your luck at the Love Me Again Market at Portside Wharf and comb through racks of high-street and designer clothing, shoes and accessories – all the while keeping the environment in mind and shopping sustainably. Tune in to live musicians and enjoy a selection of more than 20 stalls on the second Saturday of each month from 8am-12 noon.
Entertainment
Get ready to take the kids on an immersive experience at Bluey's World. The beloved children's series will come to life in more than 4000 square metres of play zones and sets, including Bluey's house, backyard and the creek. Bluey's World is expected to open in August 2024 in Northshore Pavilion, Hamilton.
Cozy up in a beanbag and watch a movie under the stars at Sunset Cinema at Northshore Precinct, running until 11 May 2024. For some indoor fun, watch the latest movies at Dendy Cinemas, Portside.
Beauty
Prioritise your 'me' time and transform your look by heading to Tigerlamb.
Bou's For Men Barber Shop has a range of services including quality haircuts, wet shave treatments, cut-throat razer lather shaves and grooming.
Relax with a trip to KC Nails and Spa. Their masterful techniques will get your nails in top-top shape.
Kid-friendly
If you have young children that wake up early with energy to burn, head to the 'always open' H Cafe & Bar for a hot drink (yes, they serve babycinos), before letting the kids explore the wonderful Hercules Street Park playground.
