Acacia Canoe Sales and Hire to close down



After more than 23 years in business I have decided it's time to retire to devote more time to family and friends and to pursue other interests. 


As of Friday 30 June 2023:

- public access to our product webpages will be progressively removed, 

- all tuition and hires will cease,

- customer orders for new stock will no longer be accepted, and

- while trading days will remain as Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday for the immediate future, business hours will be reduced to 10.00AM to 1.00PM on each of those days.


We will conduct a complete stock inventory and progressively post a list of clearance items to the Specials page of our website, with all sales stock reduced to wholesale prices or less.  Those looking to grab a bargain are advised to regularly review the Specials webpage and act quickly if they spot anything of interest ... as all goods will be sold on a first-come first-served basis.  Unfortunately, as freight/carriage contracts have now been finalized, all stock will need to be collected directly from our Acacia Ridge premises.  Payments will be accepted by cash or Direct Debit (net banking) only.


We will also be reviewing the status of some of our existing hire craft, so feel free to call (Ph 07 3276 7576) during Business Hours if you are interested in purchasing any of these.


Finally, I would like to thank all those customers who have supported Acacia Canoe Sales and Hire through the years ... as it is your interest and support that has allowed this business to survive as a resource to both novices and paddling aficionados alike.  I am happy to continue taking calls and providing helpful advice to customers as our business winds down however, when our website eventually disappears into the ether, the carnival will indeed be over!


Best wishes to all.

COLEMAN and PELICAN canoe replacement parts:

Do you own a Coleman or Pelican brand canoe that needs replacement parts?  Acacia Canoe Sales and Hire currently has stocks of parts and accessories (including seats, carry handles, thwarts, gunwale mouldings, etc) for a number of Ram-X and Ram-X-Cel (XCELCORE) craft. These “genuine” new parts suit current and discontinued Pelican and Coleman models including Colorado, 15.5, Expedition 146 and 166, Excursion 146 and 166, Bayou and Navigator.  Don’t delay if you need parts to repair your canoe – spares for older models are getting harder to come by and many will be unprocurable in Australia when current stocks are exhausted.  Check out the Pelican/Coleman Canoe Parts page for more information.
