General information

Yes, the Lakeside Cafe and Sunset Bar operates whilst the cable is open. Usually on Friday nights there is live music and it stays open till 9pm.

Spectators are always free at Wake House Australia. Lots of people come down and walk around the lakes or just enjoy watching from the cafe deck.

A Thong board is the moulded bottom board with footstraps on it, it is designed for beginners/learner wake-boarders. Benefits of this board include being able to slip straight out of the board when you stack or fall off. Whereas the boot binding wakeboard means your feet are strapped in to your board so when you stack, you come to a complete stop. Therefor we recommend you only use a boot binding board when you are advanced and have great board control on the thong board. The only board that can hit the features are the boot binding boards.Β Β 

Thong boards are included in every session type. Boot boards are not included in the Easy Rider or Advanced sessions – you can hire them for an additional $20 per person.Β

What people are saying

Great activity for kids!

Fun for kids of any age. Great exercise when you want to get the kids out of the house. Can do in most kinds of weather (they're wet anyway!) and the cafe does the best hot chips!

We love Wakehouse Mackay

We love going to Wakehouse Mackay ! Always a great vibe, sitting back and watching the riders. Good food, good coffee, clean facilities.

Our daughter recently tried Grom Squad and the young guys teaching the kids were excellent. Spoke so well with the parents and the kids and were patient and encouraging to them.

One of our fave places in Mackay

One of our favorite places to go in Mackay - great atmosphere, amazing staff and HEAPs of fun! It's really worth scheduling a brunch or a few arvo drinks at the Wakehouse.
