Hope Island already does waterfront evenings rather well. So the reason to head south to Labrador isn’t simply the water. It’s what’s waiting in the cabinet.
A different stretch of water
Hope Island life tends to run along canals, marinas and the river. Labrador sits on the open Broadwater, with a foreshore path along Marine Parade and the water beside you most of the way. It makes a relaxed evening out: dinner nearby, a walk by the water, then dessert.
If you’re coming by boat rather than by car, our page for boaties covers finding us from the foreshore. For the evening itself, Dessert by the Broadwater puts the pieces together.
Come for the cabinet
We make our gelato here in Labrador and the line-up keeps changing. Alongside familiar flavours you’ll find combinations that are harder to predict, plus sorbets and plant-based choices. The pear and ginger rotates in and out, and it’s worth catching: in 2026 it took gold in Class 6 at the Royal Queensland Awards Ice Cream, Gelato & Sorbet Competition and was named Champion Flavoured Ice Cream or Gelato of Show.
Mini scoops let you explore several flavours in one visit, which is useful when the cabinet holds something you weren’t expecting to choose.
Planning the visit
We’re at Shop 14, Aqua, 300 Marine Parade, Labrador. The door is on the Imperial Parade side of the complex, between Butter Bodega and Rev It Up Pizza, and there’s free underground parking entered from Imperial Parade. We’re closed on Mondays, and hours change over public and school holidays, so check before you set out.
