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. Being active,

our guests with the best seasonal menus, local produce and contemporary dishes,
and give them eating and drinking experiences to remember.
