Nestled in the foothills of the rainforest-covered Whitfield Range lies one of Cairns' hidden gems … the Edge Hill Bowls Club.

Known fondly as "the friendliest Bowls Club in Cairns", Edge Hill Bowls Club is ideally located in one of the city's oldest and most popular suburbs.

With its trademark wide front veranda, the Clubhouse fits snugly into the landscape of this leafy suburb … known for its chic eateries, gourmet deli's and popular village stores.

More recently thanks to the Edge Hill Bowls Club, it's become known as a hub for lawn bowlers of all types, from relaxed social bowlers to serious competition players. Beginners to experienced players can always find a game and a chat at this welcoming club with its fully stocked bar, gaming lounge and dining facilities.

Naturally there's a special welcome for individuals and tour groups from other cities (and countries), all of whom have given the Edge Hill Bowls Club an overwhelming thumbs-up.

Nestled in the foothills of the rainforest-covered Whitfield Range lies one of Cairns' hidden gems … the Edge Hill Bowls Club.

Known fondly as "the friendliest Bowls Club in Cairns", Edge Hill Bowls Club is ideally located in one of the city's oldest and most popular suburbs.

With its trademark wide front veranda, the Clubhouse fits snugly into the landscape of this leafy suburb … known for its chic eateries, gourmet deli's and popular village stores.

More recently thanks to the Edge Hill Bowls Club, it's become known as a hub for lawn bowlers of all types, from relaxed social bowlers to serious competition players. Beginners to experienced players can always find a game and a chat at this welcoming club with its fully stocked bar, gaming lounge and dining facilities.

Naturally there's a special welcome for individuals and tour groups from other cities (and countries), all of whom have given the Edge Hill Bowls Club an overwhelming thumbs-up.

Should you require any further information regarding our facilities, please do not hesitate to

Paving a new direction in the restaurant and bar experience, Salt House at Marina Point in Cairns
With breathtaking waterfront views across the marina, a plethora of modern Aussie cuisine delicacies and a stunning selection of wines, both by the bottle and from the glass, the stylish Salt House venue launched to a massive gala event on Friday evening and an even bigger weekend of ongoing celebration.
Directors Fintan Rafferty and Lui Garozzo took years to research their concept, from travelling to view the world’s most acclaimed venues, such as The Shore Club in South Beach, Florida and Ku De Ta in Bali, to make sure they were heading in the right direction.
Mr Rafferty said the ideal behind Salt House was to merge the ambience of Far North Queensland with a key restaurant, bar and entertainment venue, resulting in something which hasn’t been seen before in the region.
He said checking out venues in similar climates around the world gave good inspiration, specifically Ku De Ta.
“It was a pub, it was a restaurant, it was a music venue all in one,” he said.
“It had a relaxed atmosphere… it’s a real melting pot.”
Both the local directors (and owners) are from strong hospitality backgrounds – Fintan from a service perspective having owned La Pizza on the Esplanade for many years, and Lui from a food background that spans generations – so they were well placed to know what positives and negatives to look for when creating their dream venue.
Lui’s passion lay in creating a top quality restaurant / bar environment where utilising the best local produce and creating a unique and tropical-flavoured menu was paramount, while Fintan’s heart lay in entertainment, trying to provide not only a restaurant and a bar, but also a mini entertainment precinct – all within Salt House.
“There seemed to be lacking a quality entertainment venue that wasn’t focused specifically on the backpacker market in Cairns, and wasn’t just about entertainment,” Fintan said.
“We wanted to create a quality venue that was well-priced, family friendly, and a location that was great, so it gave us lots of scope to include different function areas.
“This site leant itself to a public bar, public and private dining areas, and areas for live music and a DJ booth.”
From passion, and considerable patience across many years of work, the ethos of Salt House was borne.
And with the successful launch and already rave reviews, it certainly seems the Salt House dream has become a reality that will pave a new direction for venues in Far North Queensland for years to come.

Nestled in the foothills of the rainforest-covered Whitfield Range lies one of Cairns' hidden gems … the Edge Hill Bowls Club.

Known fondly as "the friendliest Bowls Club in Cairns", Edge Hill Bowls Club is ideally located in one of the city's oldest and most popular suburbs.

With its trademark wide front veranda, the Clubhouse fits snugly into the landscape of this leafy suburb … known for its chic eateries, gourmet deli's and popular village stores.

More recently thanks to the Edge Hill Bowls Club, it's become known as a hub for lawn bowlers of all types, from relaxed social bowlers to serious competition players. Beginners to experienced players can always find a game and a chat at this welcoming club with its fully stocked bar, gaming lounge and dining facilities.

Naturally there's a special welcome for individuals and tour groups from other cities (and countries), all of whom have given the Edge Hill Bowls Club an overwhelming thumbs-up.

Should you require any further information regarding our facilities, please do not hesitate to
