Blue Bird Cafe – Iconic Lakeside Cafe with Proven Trade & Historic Pedigree

Offered for sale is the iconic Blue Bird Cafe, a highly regarded and well-established hospitality business occupying a prime foreshore position at 1 Queen Elizabeth Drive, Barmera, directly overlooking Lake Bonney.

Renowned among locals and a must-visit destination for tourists, the café enjoys consistent dine-in and takeaway options supported by its exceptional location, strong community following and steady visitor traffic. The business has recently benefited from a tasteful extension, creating additional seating that takes full advantage of uninterrupted lake and surrounding views - a major drawcard for customers and a standout feature within the region.

The venue is fully licensed and presents as a genuine walk-in, walk-out opportunity, allowing a new owner to step straight in and continue trading with confidence while building on an already strong reputation.

Business Inclusions (Walk-In, Walk-Out):
• All tables and chairs (indoor and outdoor seating)
• Commercial coffee machine
• Deep fryers and grill
• Commercial dishwashers
• Full preparation benches and workstations
• Fridges and freezers
• Till and point-of-sale system
• All plant and equipment required for day-to-day operations
• Stock on hand at time of settlement

The sale is for the business and premises only, with the land held under a Crown lease, providing an established operating base in one of Barmera's most desirable and visible locations.

In addition to the Blue Bird Cafe, the sale also includes Riverland Jet Ski Hire, offering an exciting and flexible business opportunity. This component of the sale is offered as a blank canvas, with no stock or equipment included, and comprises the business name and ABN only. It presents an ideal opportunity for a new owner to reimagine, relaunch or expand the jet ski hire concept to suit their own vision, capitalising on the high-profile Lake Bonney location and strong tourism appeal of the Riverland region.

Adding a unique and compelling layer to the offering, the Blue Bird Cafe is located on the Lake Bonney foreshore at the former boatshed and control centre for Donald Campbell's Bluebird K7. In November 1964, this site played a key role in Campbell's world water speed record attempt, where he successfully set a new Australian record of 216 mph (347 km/h) - an extraordinary piece of Australian motorsport and engineering history.

A proven business, a premium lakeside position and a story few hospitality venues can match - Blue Bird Cafe represents a rare opportunity to secure a landmark Barmera business with strong foundations and future potential.
