Lunch Sat 26 February. No vaccine requirements, no check in - these guys are doing exactly the same as other venues.
They were super busy, but we were patience. All the staff we saw were busy, but they were friendly but said hello.
There was a wait on our food and beers, but both were delicious and again, we were patience and happy to wait our time. Staff member thanked us for waiting.
We did see a big wedding set up and my partner had a look inside the room as said it looked incredible.
Again, the staff member said hello and smiled, without a mask.
We’ll be back. Might even stay next time.

Beautiful Wedding location. 5 stars from us. Hubby and I stayed for a wedding on the weekend and it was all handled so well. Dinner, the ceremony, the wedding day itself. All of it. Great bunch of friendly staff. Thank you.
K. L.
The place was beautiful. The menu a little boring. Special boards not working and both where meat dishes. Where's all the seafood considering you are right by the sea? I will come back the place is light and great atmosphere. I dare say COVID and staffing an issue at the moment. Relaxing venue.

Restaurant food was good. I had the green bowlwhich was very tasty.
However, I was horrified to see a new place such as this only have a male toilet inside the restaurant. Females had to go to the toilets in the foyer. At least make the male toilet unisex! Sad to see this in the 2020's

Great location, Great Food and service. Caves Coastal is a great place to host a birthday party.
It was a wary free process from planning through to the party. All the family and guest had a great night. Thank you Lauren & Frankie & Caves Coastal.

Hubby and I spent 3 nights here to celebrate 25 yrs of marriage , I mentioned this over to phone when I made the booking and honestly thought that we would find some champagne on arrival or even a note to wish us a Happy Anniversary considering this place caters for weddings but nothing and I wonder if couples that get married here would be thought of if they were to come back and celebrate future Anniversaries , just something that could be brought to the attention of management as a small gesture goes a long way.
We were told there would be WiFi in house for guests and given a password to connect , we had no service for the whole 3 days and had to step out onto the board walk to get access to the internet or even make a call as mobile data connection was also very poor.
Rooms were clean and views were spectacular and the staff were very friendly and welcoming .
Restaurant food was great and daily entertainment was provided.
Secure parking in the basement was also provided.
Overall we had a lovely stay.
P. K.
Came in for a nice and relaxing lunch with my wife.
Service was nice, restaurant was clean and full of life with all the patrons dining in.
My only issue is when we looked at the menu we noticed the lack of sea food options. Considering this is a beachside restaurant one would think there'd be more sea food options, however the only lone sea food option was the salt and pepper squid as a side, no main, unless you want the sea food on a pizza or in pasta.
p. r.
Had a excellent meal with fantastic views, service was quick and staff were very friendly and helpful especially Tom, who seated us comfortably on entry. The Hotel is beautifully decorated in 5 star style and very inviting. A Hidden Gem...
J.
Great location and friendly staff. Food is decent. More independent craft beers on tap would get me there more often!
M. K.
Definitely worth visiting again, food at the bar was fairly large portions and good value for money. Accomodation was clean and spacious although the villa does not appear to sleep 6 but instead only 4.
M. B.
Great deck for an afternoon beer. Food menu looked solid but we weren't there for grub. Live music often
J. A.
We had a event on Sunday 20th Feb 2022...everything was excellent from Keagan, Jess and the rest of the staff did a great job and Lauren was great the event manger we even got a jumping castle in there...Food fantastic everyone had a great time ....well done to the Staff
R. G.
Great location. Barra was delicious. Good quality pub food. Great view. Good for kids. Dos allowed outside
W. I.
A huge spralling complex. Take a packed lunch if travelling from one end of the pub to the other. Very beautiful back area looking over the beach. They have a children's play area.
K. M.
Friendly service, beautiful views, food variety at a good price. Lots of outdoor or inside dining options. Highly recommend, will definitely return.
C. H.
I love the view and the breeze BUT being vegetarian I suffer. Just trying something my few choices was a pumpkin and goat cheese pizza...well $22 for me a very flimsy pizza
T. M.
Well what can I say besides WOW absolutely amazing loved every second of my stay with my husband in our bungalow we went away on the 15th of Feb 2022 for a night stay for our 1 year late honeymoon we got there at 2pm and was greeted by a lovely lady at the front desk who got another lovely lady to check us in we got to our bungalow and it was stunning huge comfortable bed big bath tub massive rainfall shower room everything was perfect we had a beautiful lunch and dinner in the restaurant staff were fantastic they couldn't have made our night any better so polite always smiling they all showed very good work ethic they all know how to make you feel welcome and relaxed in seconds thank yous all for such a special time with yous there and if yous are ever in walcha come and relax with us in our caravan park in walcha Tammy and luke mills
J. M.
Absolutely beautiful place. Although they had Barramundi on their Main Meal Menu and when I went to order I was told it was an old Menu and it wasn't available. Very disappointing.
R. T.
Such a magic location, the restaurant has huge lofted ceiling and massive windows to capitalise on the views. the food was great, and the service efficient.
B. K.
Very kind and accommodating staff. Had a delicious meal overlooking the surf
A. A.
Beautiful views A bit dear on their liquor though. A bottle of wine at $43. is a bit steep when you can buy it at Dan Murphy's for $10.
a. d.
Nice atmosphere right on the beach, great view while dining! Affordable prices for food too.
S. M.
Very relaxed indoor and outdoor seating, close to the beach. Good pub food. Order at counter.
D. C.
Great spacious dining area and surrounds. Plenty of space between tables.
Good food and service.
H. S.
Staff are lovely, location is lovely but pizza was so crusty and fish&chips was frozen fish.
L. M.
Such a beautiful place. Friendly staff and wonderful food.
D.
Lovely food. Good service. Nice location & great looking hotel.
J. P.
Great spot, good food and a decent selection of beer on tap.
R. V.
Very nice coffee..proper signage etc on check-in re Covid, sat outside with view of beach.
J. S.
Nice food. Efficient staff. Lovely views.
M. M.
If you are eating outside watch out for the seagulls. Food is typical pub grub and nothing wonderful. When you look around place looks like it becoming run-down outside but it is by the sea. A bit overrated
m. s.
The adults only ocean front bungalows are amazing! We stayed 2 nights and didn't want to leave. So private and relaxing. The huge rain head in the shower was awesome! Loved the bath overlooking the the king bed. The view is picture perfect. Right on the ocean, with no one yelling mum! It was simply amazing. We loved it and highly recommend having a couples only mid week stay. We will be back!
R. F.
Accommodation is really nice. Amazing night sky at the beach. Breathtaking sunrises. Live music at the bar. The accessibility ramps are a bit of a maze and not very convenient to get around the complex with a pram. Also the walkways were so dark at night, everyone had to get around with flashlights. Might just be related to recent floods though.
Nice beach, but be careful swimming there. Good for surfing though.
S. G.
Such a lovely venue - one of our fav hidden gems on the coast! This is our go to for a chilled weekend food sesh. The ocean views and ocean air, the live music, the fact it's dog friendly, has yummy food with a good variety and huge outdoor sitting areas with top notch service every single time, all make it worth while to drive to. Absolutely love this place! Highly rated!!
D. K.
Loved this place. The lagoon front adults only bungalows are a peaceful respite. A bit of indulgence with well designed and appointed rooms. Great bar and restaurant. I highly recommend grabbing take away from the restaurant and enjoying it on your private balcony overlooking the lagoon and entertaining bird life. Staff at reception are the loveliest you’ll meet and the bar and restaurant crew are always cheerful and helpful.
B. E.
Great getaway. Accommodation was generally clean, however some blinds showed mould spots from windows being left open by guests when raining. Air con also had some mould but due to fans did not need to use it.
Didn't feel the need to report to management as nothing would have been able to be done, and everything else was on point.
Hotel and dining was exceptional and the pool was nice too.
T. P.
Perfect location. We (8 adults) stayed in a Townhouse Ocean and only wished the upstairs bedroom had a door to separate from the bathroom for more privacy. Other than that, we enjoyed the nice clean place with beautiful Ocean view. Nothing beats a beautiful sunrise on the beach.
M. E.
Lovely location with a good amount of privacy. The view is amazing and the rooms well appointed. While there is no room service option, the bar and restaurant has great options. Excellent reception venue
r. m.
Fantastic atmosphere very friendly staff and spectacular views
B. H.
Good food and reasonably priced as well. The burgers are huge!!
P. E.
Great spot for a beer. Good selection of tap. Food is good. Kids loved the outdoor playground and running around in the beer garden. Could do with some shade outside, but that looked a work in progress at the end of 2020.
C. M.
Beautiful venue for both weddings and weekend's away. Staff are so friendly and we had the most amazing wedding that we came back for our two year anniversary. Perfect spot with the bungalows and falling asleep to the sound of the beach. Would recommend to anyone!
N. V.
Stayed in a bungalow for a couple of nights as part of a work conference but would make a really good solo, couple or family getaway. Located right on Caves Beach the bungalows are a good size with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. There is a full kitchen, fridge, washer / dryer and open plan dining and lounge. Rooms are clean and common areas are nice.
B. B.
We have made the trip up to caves beach quite a few times recently mostly for the pub. Such a beautiful place with big tables, plenty of space and beautiful pizzas! Now that they have a playground for the kids It's even better!
The photos online don't do it justice
P. D.
It was great 👍 the food was fantastic and the service was great too
S. B.
Amazing place...great ambience and the views are priceless...
A drive out of Sydney about 90 mins and you are in this idyllic place. Swansea beach is long and secluded but with decent currents.
Food menu is exhaustive and caters to vegans/vegetarian options as well as classics.
Special menu on Easter long weekend was wonderful. Amazing servicing time on food orders.
Drinks menu can be expanded although they have nice wine selection. Tried Seabreeze, which was a bit underwhelming.
They can seriously work on their coffee barista....😒
B. H.
Work being done on the playground/beer garden area so couldn't get in there. Kids meals were $11 just for the meal, everywhere else you'd get a drink and ice cream for similar price. Beer selection was good though, if a touch on the expensive side and menu looked good and reasonable as well
D. F.
Great location and nice views. Drink here, eat elsewhere. So this is a place with no table service and prices that exceed the quality of the food. With mains at $25 to $35 you should be served quality food while our meals were OK nothing was delicious. I would have drinks and chill here but then eat somewhere else
K. M.
This place was an awesome venue for our work Christmas party.
M. P.
The food here is fantastic and the views are stunning. Staff here are quite rude though and it’s a bit off putting. None the less- the sashimi platter, burger and chips were amazing.
K. T.
Stayed at the local villas, great location.
The food was exceptional, very surprised
To see what came out, thougt it would be standard pub food. Fantastic
J. B.
The decor was great, new and bright. The staff were helpful, the food was good, the chips were AMAZING and the view was very nice. The only problem was the seagulls. They were everywhere.
Owners, if your reading this, look up seagull prevention methods like hanging wire around outside to prevent them getting to unattended chips.
J. S.
Great Hotel, atmosphere, food, music & beautiful coastal views
H. T.
Great customer service and tasty food
N. L.
Perfect place for lunch for the whole family after a long day at the beach. Just a few minutes drive up the hill and you will find Caves which has both a hotel and a bistro with outdoor beer tables and a kid's playground all overlooking the stunning beach. Tonnes of seating inside and outside so it's perfect for couples or a big family. We ordered the Tasmanian salmon, chicken schnitzel, Wagyu brisket burger and fish and chips. The salmon was cooked perfectly, skin was so crispy and the salad with a slight chilli dressing really went well with the fish. The chicken schnitzel was also delicious, the panko crumbs made it very crispy to bite into and the chicken was juicy. Kids were playing in the gated playground outside so the adults could have a moment of peace to enjoy their meals. Will definitely come back again maybe in the afternoon to have some drinks at the bar tables outside which have a stunning view of the water.
P. M.
Excellent location, heaps of space with fast service & friendly staff. Plenty of options for everyone on the menu. Thanks for adding the EV chargers too, they're a real drawcard.
J. Y.
Great location and close to shops. Our room shower drain is slow to remove the water and so it turned into a small swimming pool. We had to use the bathtub I stead.
R. M.
Great atmosphere , excellent food and friendly staff
b. g.
Nice place to sit, no view of beach though. Pizza and Schnitzle is the best value for money. Everything else is over priced and under delivered. Had the Salmon salad. They just haven't got the presentation and quantities right for the prices. The atmosphere was nice and the tables are great for large groups.
E.
Pub food with luxury prices. Poor quality steak, green beans are ok and chicken wings and sauce are fine but you can make the same or better at home. The coke was flat. Get a beer, enjoy the view. Don't recommend eating there.
J. A.
Great views, great beer choices, terrible overpriced menu
V. W.
Great place for 2 day get away. Bungalow are fantastic.
H. M.
Gorgeous place! Nice and relaxing!
A. H. R. M. T.
Good place to have lunch with a great view also and staff were friendly , food was good 🙂 ✅
j. w.
Great food awesome views will be back
A. B.
Although it outpriced my budget, I have no regrets in having stayed there for a night. Super comfy bungalow, really large and very well equipped. Location is awesome. I loved the bar atmosphere too. Just didn't like the pizza too much, but was not bad either, just a bit more smoked than I'd usually have it. I even ordered it again for lunch the next day. :) I will be happy to return to this place, hopefully for a longer stay.
C. P.
Spent a week here recently. Staff servicing the rooms daily were excellent and always pleasant happy. Location had fantastic sea views. The tavern had excellent food choices and more like a club than a pub. Great staff
J. M.
First hic up lost our booking told you don't have one till we showed the conformation email we recieved. Then told oh well you'll just have sit outside (with 2elderly family members on a hot day)no not happening or put up with what ever I find. Sat at one table for 6 when there are 8 of us. No finally given another table. Then half way through our meal we received a phone call from the veue why hadn't we turned up yet. Other than first problem meal was fine.
M. H.
Awesome place with a great vibe! Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating and nice ocean views.
Food is delish & seafood pasta a winner 👍🏽 So good we've come 3 days in a row!
A. R.
Great location... Bungalows are good but can be hit and miss as they are privately owned but maintained by caves coastal bar, overall it's good and comfortable a step above a holiday park cottage but not 5* or anything like that. Service is fine but it is a bar/restaurant first and accommodation second so don't expect anything flash service wise saying that everyone is friendly and we had a good few nights there... Caves Beach is lovely and definitely a great spot in and around Lake Macquarie...
C. V.
Beautiful decor, stunning view and great and fresh food!
Only the ambient music was way loud and conflicting with the live music outside which was way more interesting
M. D.
Initially walking in it's a nice, light filled area, however it feels cluttered and disorderly with the random furnishings. We would have like to sit on the deck, but with the wind and the fire pits it wasn't worth the smoke to enjoy the beautiful day. The lady who served us was quiet and disinterested and gave the vibe she didn't want to be there one bit. While the total on the till came to $63.20, she charged us 64.20. It's a dollar, not a big deal, but only found out about it after my partner returned having paid. We then waited at least half an hour for our food in the mean time only watching two or three dishes leave the kitchen. It wasn't a busy day either. Once the food came however, it was very good. Another positive was a large selection of beers on tap. Overall, it's this is the kind of place that will attract locals but isn't a place to drive from town out of your way for.
L. F.
Awesome food and vibe!
Date night, girls brunch or family friendly!
W. D.
We had lunch here. The service was really slow, waited at the bar to order food. The place was not busy but no staff in sight. One of the chefs saw us waiting but made no effort to call someone. The food was average pub food but the steak was cooked perfectly. Decor looks worn and there is a lot of dust. 3 stars for the steak. Won't return to eat.
L. K.
Beautiful views, and the food was great. We were seated outside on a sunny day with native bird life wandering around. Will be even better when the renovatio s are finished.
J. v. M.
Excellently run venue. Despite the high volume of clientele we barely waited 10 minutes for 7 meals to come out. Staff were consistently courteous and alert. Lovely atmosphere late afternoon. The only reason I wouldn't give 5 stars is that they have a pokies area, which means some people are going to get very hurt here.
D. B.
Not as good as it used to be. The decore is looking a bit tired and the scavenging birds on the deck are annoying. It used to be a good pub with reasonable food but it is now more of a holiday resort club.
J. C.
Bungalow was really nice inside modern and roomy. View was great with a short walk to a beautiful section of Caves beach. Dinner at the hotel was great and i would have rated my stay 5 star but i found the meals and drinks too expensive. Also Hotel does not do breakfast which i found unusual considering it is marketed as a resort. Anyways still a beautiful spot to stay for a couple of nights for sure.
L. C.
Lovely food and atmosphere. The food was delicious and I felt satisfied after eating. I ordered the beef burger which tasted like a Big Mac on steroids ♥️👌, I also had the chorizo and prawn pizza which was amazing. Would go back here again.
L. P.
We booked last minute. The (spa suite) bungalow was nicely decorated and clean. We dined at the venue. The food was simple (pizza and chicken wings) and very tasty. The staff were very all very friendly and pleasant. Overall we had a wonderful time and would certainly recommed to others.
C. F.
Good food, relaxed, great view, big space, what else do you need? Great place to spend a couple of hours, grab a bite, enjoy the view and have the little ones Playa round. Food is nice and has a decent choice. I noticed people tend to book here, so probably a good idea specially if you are a big group.
M. B.
The food was delicious and there was a wide range of choices. Kids menus were good as well.
Loved the fact there was a jumping castle for the kids and we could sit on the deck and keep an eye on them.
Will go back again.
M. S.
Fabulous location and amenities, service was not so great as excess long wait to get into our room but feel that might be due to some cost cutting and outside pressures.. The staff themselves where lovely.
K. C.
Venues close to the beach are a must when on I’m on holidays. The Caves Coastal bar has a great layout, friendly staff and yummy food
We dined twice at lunch during the school holidays and the staff dealt efficiently with the large number of guests.
S. M.
Service and meals were good. But basic meals were a bit pricey. Overall great location and covid safe and clean.
M. C.
Great drinks Great lunch Great location

For our Birthday (my Partner and Myself) our friends booked a cabin/Villa/house for us all to stay in and have a relaxing weekend.
Over looking the water, the scenery was absolutely beautiful. The house itself was well maintained and decorated.
I had a wonderful time, it was peaceful and the beach was close enough for a stroll.
Would 110% come back.
Food at Caves Pub/Hotel was a short walk away and it was delicious.
L. G.
We had our wedding reception at Caves and it was excellent!! Amy was such a joy to work with, she was helpful, efficient and nothing was too big a problem. Any questions I had were answered with an upbeat, can-do attitude. We had our taste test and got to speak briefly to the chefs, the food was excellent! On the actual wedding day, Amy was on leave but Julia, who took her place, was wonderful as well. She was super friendly, bubbly and kind. Liz, who was the maitre d was very good at keeping us informed and up to date and she was very warm and welcoming which was much appreciated given the potential stress of a wedding day.
The hotel has recently been done up and looks stunning, we had our reception in the Nautilus room and I couldn't have pictured it any better than it was.
The food was lovely, the service was great and overall, I couldn't have been happier! I would definitely recommend Caves to any brides out there!
A. T.
Great accommodation overlooking the beautiful beach. Comfortable with all the necessities however the microwave broke (but was promptly replaced, thanks!) and air mattress/beds were a bit unsupportive leading to sore backs for a few guests. The lake (aka swamp) was a bit neglected and could use a good clean. Overall was very good, even went to the pool a few times! (Over the beach). Reception staff were friendly and helpful.
Bar/bistro served tasty meals, however the staff were unhelpful, inflexible and had poor customer service. They felt it was worth arguing over vegetables when I was happy to pay money for it as an upgrade over salad as per the menu. Child’s play area needs an upgrade due to uneven flooring, broken playground equipment and safety enclosure gate not locking. Ultimately, even the good food could not compensate for the poor service which affected the overall night (this was my second dinner eating here and surely last).
I. M.
Our family attended a wedding reception in the air conditioned function room on a Sunday evening. One hundred guests were accommodated easily. Bar facilities were available. Both the public address system and room lighting had good coverage.The food was timely, well cooked and presented . The staff catered for special dietary needs promptly. A very pleasant, enjoyable and fun evening was had overall.
S.
A gorgeous location rain hail or shine - the decor is so relaxing and well thought out.
Bistro has a few vegan options, I’d love to see a few more but there is a warm cauliflower salad, and the usual chips ect but these veggie chips were something different and so tasty! Also their side salad is actually delicious!!
The lemon lime bitters was pink and so delish, reasonable prices too considering the location and quality
10/10 always want to return.
Had a peek in the wedding reception room and it was light and was setting up beautifully! Highly recommend!
M. B.
All the staff were friendly and helpful. The location was beautiful (water views), the bed was comfortable and the food was great. We stayed two nights in a beachside bungalow and had three meals in the bistro. I ate a pulled pork burger, wood fired pizza and a steak, which were all high quality and cooked to perfection. The only improvement needed was the pepper gravy. It was watery an anemic. Fortunately I discovered this by dipping a chip into the little gravy cup and did not pour it onto the perfect steak.
M. C.
Great location, food was okay but overpriced for quality, basically pub food. We had a fairly big group (about 20) and our meals all came out at around the same time which was appreciated! They had a jumping Castle for the kids and a few fire pits around so it was warm outside even on a cooler day.
R. M.
Two night stay 20/22 Oct. Ocean Villa a lift l e tired.No soap or plug in bathroom basin.No light over bathroom mirror.Bed comfortable. Kitchen crockery needs updating.
Fork Restaurant friendly promptservice & good pub food
D. C.
Fantastic pub! Great food and friendly staff - added bonus of a gorgeous view and they are really covid safe w ability to order and pay right from your table!! Loved it!!
D. A.
Food and drinks are perhaps a little pricey. However considering the location and modern facilities I kind of understand. Had the beef burger on first visit. Not terrible, but not amazing if you're a burger fiend like me. Second visit I went for the chicken parmy and it was the best I've ever had. Friends/family had pizza which looked good and they said it tasted great. Staff were friendly and helpful. If you're in Caves or Swansea, there's not many more picturesque spots for a tasty meal and drinks
A. H.
My husband and I are just leaving there as I write. We had a fantastic stay. Very clean very comfortable. Very close to beach.Very relaxing. We ate there 2 nights. Food was good (think upmarket pub meal) great atmosphere. We loved our stay there. Most definitely love to come back and stay longer.
M. M.
Great location 100m from the ocean but medium to expensive prices, especially the drinks. Tucker very good but only had 3 Gluten Free dishes (maybe 4) and as I'm a severe Coeliac, I didn't have a lot of choice. That was a bit disappointing. Because of the pricing I don't go there as much as I'd like.
C. O. (.
Nice food, friendly staff, good live music tonight.
Always a nice vibe, happy to visit.
T. D.
Beautiful location. Kids play area is good.
Fish and chips was very nice. Friendly staff.
Kids Spaghetti was too salty and was not eaten.
Main meals did not come out the same time, they came in dribs and drabs, within 10-30minute span. It it wasn't for this, I would give it 4 stars.
Good coffee.
I would try again, maybe it was a bad day for them.
N. H.
I had Lunch there with my extended family. Great meals. Fantastic venue, beach views on a huge balcony. Good selection of beers on tap. Playground for toddlers. Watch out for the seagulls outside.
L. B.
place is nice from the inside, but needs a bit more maintenance as we had ants on the carpet
the fan was squeaky when on and the ensuite vanity pipes were a bit blocked
S. K.
Comfortable, clean and well positioned close to the beach. The bar offers great lunches and dinners but no breakfast. We stayed at part of a large group in multiple bungalows. Some found their bungalows in dire need of maintenance (lights, doors etc.) Overall a nice place.
B. P.
Great venue, friendly staff good food and the beer is cold.
T. J.
Best pizza I've ever had
a. m.
Lovely food and great setting. Bungalows were very comfortable and nicely presented
H. M.
The food was good and the location was great. The let down was to do with the service time for food.
We had three separate orders in our group, placed one immediately after the other. The first food order arrived quite quickly, however there was about a 15 to 20 minute wait for the next order to arrive. Long enough for their dinner to be finished before the next round of mains to arrive. The third order of mains took at least another 30 minutes to arrive giving nearly an hour between when the first main meal arrived to the last.
We attempted to place all the meals on the same order but we were told it was too late to do that.
The restaurant was fairly busy, and having different orders to the same table will always cause meals to arrive at different times, however the wait was fairly excessive, especially when we only had a table for 2 hours.
A. D.
It looks like this place as a venue and Caves Beach is poised to explode. The bar restaurant caters for the locals who tend to hang in the bar / TAB area whilst visitors make the most of the large dining areas inside and out.
The menu is simple but good catering for most people including kids.
Is it expensive? I guess if you live outside of Sydney it is expensive but not crazy. Certainly in keeping with city prices.
There is an enclosed outdoor area with bouncy castle for kids in Summer.
Specials on all the time.
Back is 300 metres away.
Great venue for celebrations, weddings, day trips, and has great accommodation as part of the complex from intimate bungalows to beach houses.
Great location, great beaches, new cafes long up in area.
Can get busy. Staff are all lovely.
Well worth a visit.
S. B.
Very busy and noisy as you would expect on a sunny Sunday lunchtime, but wait time for food didn't exceed expectations considering the crowd, and food was surprisingly good, as was the young duo providing live music. System of table service for food delivery was chaotic with wait staff wandering around the large area looking for numbers rather than knowing exactly where food orders needed to go.....it was fairly entertaining to watch but not very efficient.
L. A.
We stayed here for my friends wedding. Lovely location but bungalows need to be cleaned properly. There were spider webs on the outside windows. Sand and dirt on the stairs and marks all over the walls. This bungalow was being used for the wedding party so photos were being taken here for the prep. I think they are so desensitized to having weddings here they have got slack.
K. R.
Lovely location and nice food. There was a problem with the order that resulted in our order not going through so we haf a very long wait for our food. Not great when you're there with young kids. To their credit they were very apologetic about the issue and the manager even personally came out to sincerely apologise, and provided vouchers for drinks and ice cream for the kids. Other staff were equally friendly so despite the mix up I'd have no hesitation recommending having a meal here. Afterwards we also watched several whales off the coast.
D. R.
We recently stayed at Caves Beach Bungalow's for the second time. It was a wonderful experience. The team at reception were so helpful and friendly. Our room was fantastic and the outdoor setting was fantastic for relaxing with a nice glass of bubbly. Food at the Hotel was good and reasonably priced and an IGA is close by if you need to stock up on a few afternoon snacks. We will definitely be back again to recharge. Great Place.
D. M.
Late lunch bliss with great post-dune swales views and added families of Purple Moorhens to boot. Superb Buddha Bowl with delicious Pumpkin Brushetta - winner
s. B.
Have come here a few times now, a great place to catch up with people. Lovely space, nice views. The pizza is delicious. They also do a good pot of tea.
M. L.
Great spot for lunch & a few drinks.
The bungalows are beautiful to stay in & well worth the money for the location. You dont have to go far for entertainment once checked in.

The food here was AMAZING! The view here is stunning! The service was top notch even though it was busy! We were very impressed with our experience here :) Thanks for a great time!
B. B.
A great night,always enjoy it there
J. N. T.
This is a great place to get away from a busy city like Sydney. The atmosphere here is very relax and calming. The room is clean. However, the birds are very noisy at night sometimes. The food at the pub is not too bad, bit pricey tho.
C. R.
Lovely as always. The deck was sheltered from wind, great food.

Well I got married here so maybe I'm biased but it was a perfect day and night - everything flowed flawlessly 👌 The event coordinator was incredible and attentive. The venue was stunning and accommodating. Pricing is a little expensive and inflexible but I'd say it's worth the spend (again this is probably bias). The wait staff were friendly and well organised for the most part - I did have to ask twice for my groomsmen to be served drinks - but otherwise, they were great! I only have one complaint regarding my wedding cake; the leftover tier went "missing". We were told before the end of the night that it had been saved and left in the fridge for us to collect the following morning but it was nowhere to be found by then. Irrespective of this event, Caves Beach is a tranquil destination and an amazing place to explore, particularly with your fury companion. Throw in an affordable place to sit, dine and drink and you can't really go wrong.

Nice place but coffee was cold. We both ordered Caesar salad had chicken added cost $29 each plenty in the bowl but tasted awful needs a better sause
T. O.
Really good food and quick service with beautiful views. Had a lovely lunch with the family out on the balcony overlooking the beach.
R. W.
Popped in during the renovation to use the toilets for my 3yr old. Very modern and cool looking. Hope I can visit again in the future when they open.
t. b.
Great views and nothing to complain about . Great service and pleasent visually pleasing suroundings and our food came out together. Lovely salmon and fish and chips. Duck spring rolls for the win. Definitely worth the track.
M. B.
Awesome vibe and nice view right next to caves beach. Looks really funky inside. We had the chicken burger and parmi and both here delish
M. P.
Visited the Caves Beachside Hotel for a family birthday and was impressed by the wonderful location and good meals. The kids enjoyed the covered and enclosed playground and we were able to enjoy the live music proved by a guitarist performing easy listening cover songs. The place was very busy but would definitely recommend for a lazy Sunday afternoon outing or drinks.
T. S.
I've had the pleasure of eating here on several occasions, and the food has always been good. The ribs I had last time were excellent.
There's good live music around the weekends, and the atmosphere is friendly.
J. a. E. D.
Great location. Villas well appointed but some looking a little tired - a paintbrush and attention to furnishing details would work wonders. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Happy to return.

We had dinner at the restaurant on Friday night the 24th.The staff were excellent.Efficient and bubbly personalities.All 6 of us enjoyed our food.It was fresh and served quickly.A special thank you to a particular security guard who was on that night.He put himself out to make sure the night was seamless particularly in light of the Covid restrictions.Thanks again
D. A.
Have had many dinner and lunches here. Completely amazing food and service everytime I have been here. Great location and nice setting. Will go again soon!

Nice food options. Great atmosphere.(we pre booked a table thankfully)
Friendly staff except for the Keno operator. She didn't want to be there today.
C. N.
250g Angus steak, medium done, delicious! Fries crisp & green beens yum. The place was packed but four meals delivered hot quickly.
B. C.
We stayed in the resort and were glad that this place was so good and so close. We had a few drinks and dinner here 2 nights and could have easily went back again. The staff were all very friendly and the food was great quality and variety for pub style meals. Pity they weren't doing breakfast though.
F. H.
It was amazing Loved the food, the drinks and the time there, went with family and had dinner. Great seating, great food and a nice environment. I recommend this place
J. G. (.
The view is fantastic, the food was consistently great and above expectations. Great hosts for our wedding reception and the proximity to the Caves was unexpected. The Rooms/townhouses were pristine and modern. The free WiFi was also better and a pleasent inclusion. 10/10 would have reception there again.
M. T.
Atmosphere is amazing and the view is even better. Staff could be more respectful - we had a booking for 1pm and at 2pm a large 'Reserved' sign was placed in the middle of out table for 5pm, needless to say we weren't to pleased.
M.
A good place for half day relaxing
W. S.
Beautiful place. Nice atmosphere, excellent location and the customer service was very good. We didn't eat but the two times we ordered drinks at the bar the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the drinks. This would be a nice place for a romantic night away as it is attached to a hotel.
K. S.
Great location, great environment, great facilities, but we order 6 meals and 5 of us were quite disappointed. Cold chips could be accounted for by it being a busy night, but he chicken in he schnitzel and parmy was poor quality, and the spicy calamari was tasteless. We'd go back for drinks but not food.
R. D. S.
Amazing restaurant and really good food, in front of Caves Beach.
Family and kids friendly with a nice playground

Staying at Murray's Beach for a few days, a friend recommended this place so of course I'm going to check it out.
Had dinner here last night and i was impressed.
Good location, friendly service and yummy food.
w.
I was very impressed with the crazy decorations around the place but then I was even more impressed when I found the hand dryer in the toilets. It dried my hands really quick so I washed my hands like 4 more times so I could use it again. Can't wait for my next visit here!
G. W.
Great venue, made better because they cater to EV drivers...! 💪 Leading the change, thanks to the team @ CBB&B.
i. c.
Great spot, classy accommodations with all the bells and whistles. Only issue phone service and wifi pretty average. Good bar and food onsite, cafes nearby and the beach moments away
B. G.
Nice venue, food was good, very modern and fresh. Hard surfaces make it noisy.
J. N.
We enjoyed our stay here. Lovely location and limited reception which helps you switch off and enjoy the nature surrounding you, literally at your doorstep!
Clean facilities and great place to getaway in summer.
The best waterfall showers I've experienced!
H. W.
We visited during school holidays with two of our grandchildren. They had a jumping castle set up for
the kids. We enjoyed a pub lunch with kids meals and were able to purchase colouring and sticker packs for the grandchildren..... The only smart venue I have found in this area that is set up to cater for children.
W. E. (.
The hotel and bistro has a great layout with amazing views of the beach right outside. I rated 3 stars because unfortunately we didn't have the best dining experience. We booked a table 1 week in advance. When we got there a group of men were sitting at our table that had our name with reservation time. We informed staff we had arrived and that a group had taken our table. We were asked to sit on the couches while they organised something. They didn't ask the men to move even though they didnt have a reservation and we ended up stuck on couches instead of dining. We then got 2 meals quick and cold and the other 2 meals 20 minutes later and cold also. Very disappointing and considering our meals were all around the $30 mark we expect no less then to receive hot meals let alone a table that we reserved.
B. R.
Long time for meals, order was mixed up, booking/table was wrong to what was booked and took 3 bowls to get warm gravy, others were completely cold. Food was nice once we got it. The view is what makes the place but service keeps slipping each time we come. Time to find somewhere new I think.
K. P.
Lovely place to go for a break...beach nice..hotel nice....staff friendly.
A few downsides were not being able to enjoy a chilled drinking session as every table got a reserved sign put on whilst sitting there so was moved 3 times from different tables, so we went back to bungalow. Due to it being the only place for a meal they dont take bookings "on the day".
j. q.
Really nice food, but small serves for the price. Nice staff great views
E. W.
Good food. Great view. Large fast kitchen.
They don't serve tea or coffee after about 5pm which is disappointing.
P. T.
First visit. Generous pub style meals. Quick service on the day. Great location for an after lunch walk. You need it!
D. S.
Amazing food, awsom location, very good value can't recommend enough
S. J. S.
Villas are great. Good sized & well appointed rooms. Good size balcony. Would eat elsewhere as dining area & bar very crowded and noise a problem on a weekend. Also limited parking.
L. C.
Great food, great friendly service, prices a little steep for what we ordered, but all round very good. I would definitely come back again, maybe once every couple of months as a treat for the family for lunch or dinner.
A.
The staff are lovely. But will it kill you to water the plants? They are all but dead. I'll also suggest adding Seasol when you water the poor plants.
N. B.
Position is good, modern design hotel/accommodation but average meals. The prawn cutlets were over cooked, the seasoned squid was tasteless, the Thai beef salad was flavourless. But the Rib-eye steak was very good. Also, all a bit pricey.
B. C.
There was an excellent array of food available, everything we ordered was delicious. The seating area was nice and the view was lovely. The staff were also very hospitable.
J. K.
The bistro offers traditional pub fare with a modern twist. Though perhaps not a standard choice, try the mushroom & walnut ravioli. It was exceptional! The bar and wait staff are very friendly, and the prices reasonable.
R. P.
My husband and i stay for 2 nites in the cabins amazing beautiful view just by looking out of our private balcony over looking water feature pond and beach. highly recommended great staff, nice bar,food and great cocktails. We will b back.

I stayed here for a wedding recently and the receptionist was so accommodating, she helped us with all requests and gave great recommendations for the bistro and local restaurants. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Jackie!
I. A.
I stumbled upon. Caves purely by accident and am very glad I did. Being lunch time, I had the delicious roasted pumpkin salad. That left enough room to indulge in gelato for dessert. There's much to look around at while waiting for food orders to arrive, but service is very speedy, so I saved some sightseeing until after eating. Order at the bar. (Sadly, Caves doesn't open for breakfast )
R. W.
Tidy need venue by the water with awesome food a wide range of variety of beers and premixed drinks with a speedy service times on food being cooked in the kitchen
C. F.
Nov 2017 - recent renovation looking great. Fabulous location. Food is ok , a bit above average hotel pricing, but location & new improved decor makes it worthwhile. Indoor & outdoor dining. Ocean views. Lounge areas. Function rooms. Reception desk.
Wheelchair access ramp. Lift from carpark as well. Weekends very busy. Upmarket. Trendy crowd & families.
Function rooms available
C. M.
Beautiful suites and location just beside the beach. Rooms are luxurious and comfortable, staff are also all very friendly and helpful. Perfect for a chill weekend away. Food is on the pricey side, but burgers are delicious.

Great atmosphere. Good food.

We had a fantastic time at the beautiful place. Food was great and the staff were attentive and friendly. Then a nice stroll along the beach. Even stay a while if you like

The manager
Thank you for your reply and the attached menu
However I would like to register a complaint re your mother’s day organization.
I was told , not necessary to book… plenty of space .. I had 20 guests I said, no problem I was told.
We arrived as did so many others at around 11.30 to chaos.. with presents, flowers and grandchildren and elderly mothers in tow to enjoy a family mother’s day lunch.
Many left, many were visibly upset.. I talked with many and they all said they were told “no need to book”
I made my enquiry in plenty of time , and could of booked another venue. But I had fond memories of another mother’s day lunch and I wanted to repeat that.
You should take bookings, as disappointed was the key theme of many of your patrons mother’s day… they won’t be back
We ended up in your front function room, and in all for us it was a great place, relatively empty, loads of room and for that I am grateful. so that was a plus.. although we sat at a bar.
It took so long for the food to come , hours in fact, and my 87 year old mother , who has had a brain aneurism , and is not at all well sat with us.. she was indeed not well at the end of the wait, and could not even eat all of her favorite food in this world, her fish and chips.
We were over being hungry by this time. No criticism of your kitchen I think they did an amazing job considering the stress you placed on them and the food was delicious.
On a staff issue, one of the waitresses was extremely rude to my son, when delivering the meals, he was trying to help her, she was abrupt and disgruntled.. he tried again to help her and get the meals to the correct person and was rebuffed.. he did ask her nicely and smiled.. her attitude was uncalled for and very unprofessional for an establishment that is trying to promote family and a higher class venue..
I know it would have been a trying day for all involved, but if I were managing a resort/hotel business….. staff attitude and numbers would be a priority.
So you see, big disappointment for us and we will not be going anywhere where we cannot book next year..as we have a big family and wanted a great place to celebrate..
If we could reserve your function room .. now that’s a thought..
It was pandemonium to say the least and did not do you as a venue any favors.
L. S.
Great pub for familys. Have a good play area even though the in door play zone needs a bit of TLC. Food was average, a little cold but it was busy and we were a big party.
J. B.
Fantastic place with great food and vibe
d. a.
Was MC for a wedding here and the staff were great. Very accommodating for brides desires and took a massive amount of load of my MC burden by checking in very often and confirming the next event.
Unfortunately the knew renovations have detracted from the beach-themed lifestyle that encompasses a residency in caves beach. The Zulu look is an eye sore and totally uncharacteristic of the area it's situated in. Sadly it's a step away from it's grassroots and history.
As a regular patron, I have seen some great local rock bands, excellent family events and above average meals. The food doesn't get 5 stars but it doesn't get a bad rating either, it's upscaled / very filling pub food and it's all I need. I haven't had a bad meal here.
They have a big kids rooms with gaming machines, toys and closed doors. Its positioned right next to the bistro.
Bar and kitchen Staff are very nice and aren't afraid to spark up a conversation, the courtesy bus driver is very patient and the security staff are traditional doormen (well manner and personal)
The accommodation is of a high standard and cannot be given a fault. No room service isn't an issue for me, as it wasn't promised and it's not what I needed.
The beers are always diverse and they offer a huge selection of your average local pub beers with a few award winning additions, for an alternate selection.
The view of the beach from almost every angle of the bistro and out deck is deserving of the location.
Great place, never had a problem with it. Patron
W. M. N. A.
Absolutely great for families and friends. excellent location adjacent to cave beach. Short drive to local town centre. Beautiful view from the balcony. Decent swimming pool. we Would like to stay here again in the future.

Great place to have a delicious meal (vegetarian) . The staff were lovely too.

Nice location. Decent food, although they need to do a better job of cleaning the salads. There were more than one small flies in my meal.

We have had lunch and dinner. Both times we enjoyed our food. The night was busy and food still came out fast. Can be a little noisy of a night time.

Extremely relaxing and a great location with ocean views and the sound of the waves. We were lucky to have a room that felt very private. The pub and restaurant have great food and a great atmosphere and the staff are really friendly.

Came here a year ago and the food and service was terrible. Gave it another go and was completely the opposite. Food was amazing and staff friendly. I later foud out that the hotel has new owners and new chefs. Will be going back again for sure.

Loved it. One of the best coastal areas in Australia, the set up at Caves was fantastic, great bar and restaurant , the accommodation was spectacular , we had our own freestanding place looking out over the beach, lastly the design of the place has got the upmost privacy in mind with all the difference ways to get around which I liked .
S. V.
We just celebrated our surprise wedding at caves beach hotel, with the amazing help of Jess and Liz in the events team. Holy cow, those ladies made the event a dream!

Chilled location for a perfectly done steak or vegetarian meal at Caves Beach.
Watch the Water Hens pecking away in the shallow pond while having a quiet beverage. Recommended.

An amazing place. We were there for the long weekend. The two bedroom Villa was perfect for us. With a nice ocean view, we just loved the place. I would recommend it to anyone.

Typical bar style food options. I don't see anything different and felt pricey especially the seafood linguine - not worth the price.
D. P.
Large resort style hotel, bar, restaurant. Food and beverage prices are on par with other venues, decent selection of beer and wine food options are fairly standard from memory burger, steak, salad, with seafood and pasta options aswell portion sizes are lather then normal in comparison to other venues.
