Lake Macquarie Dining and Entertainment

When searching for great weekend getaway destinations near Sydney, Lake Macquarie is always high on the list. To the east, you’ve got 167 kms of shoreline and a bunch of quaint coastal towns. And out west, you’ll find dramatic mountains and waterfalls within the Watagans National Park.

Friday and Sunday:
The Toronto Hotel is a legendary country pub and what better way to celebrate it than to stage an iconic series of music concerts on the grounds of the hotel overlooking Lake Macquarie. Every Friday night from 7 pm and Sunday afternoon from 2 pm, the Toronto Hotel features some of Newcastle and Lake Macquarie’s best live music. From solo artists to duos, they have your weekend entertainment covered. http://torontohotel.com.au/live-on-the-lake/

Merry Christmas one and all.

Wishing you a safe and sanitized Christmas !
Health and happiness to yours.

It is a Lake Macquarie tradition spanning close to 40 years – the jolly man in red making the rounds on a boat on Christmas Eve.

Temporary Closure

Given the recent renewed concern with Covid-19, we have decided to temporarily close Watersedge Boathouse again until the 1st of November, 2020.

We will honour our current confirmed bookings with contactless check-in and check-out. The boathouse will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before arrival.

Watersedge Boathouse B&B will be re-opening from 1st of July, 2020.

We have decided to ‘tentatively’ re-open our bookings from 1st of July, 2020.

We will be committing to an enhanced cleaning protocol, and a ‘booking buffer’, where we will be blocking a date between stays.

We look forward to welcoming you!

Happy New Year for 2018

Wishing all of our past, present and future guests a very happy and healthy New Year for 2018.

It is widely considered the biggest and best New Year’s Eve fireworks display in the district.  Launched from a barge in Wangi Wangi Bay, the Wangi RSL Club fireworks are truly a sight to behold.   The fireworks run for about 20 spectacular minutes and cost $16,500 to stage, making them about three times more expensive than other local fireworks displays.

So event organisers were rapt to learn this week that Lake Macquarie City Council had agreed to provide $2250 towards the staging of the fireworks.
