At Watergate Bay, we don't just provide a place for our guests to rest their heads - we create memorable experiences that they'll remember for a lifetime. It’s all about the balance of life.

Coming back to good food, cheeks glowing from the day’s adventures, is at the heart of the Watergate Bay experience. We want to inspire our guests with the best seasonal menus, local produce and contemporary dishes, and give them eating and drinking experiences to remember.
