What to expect

Book our four night Christmas house party and stay with us from 23 - 27 December. 

Arrive early. Drop your shoes and settle down overlooking the waves, with a mulled wine and freshly baked mince pies. Explore the beach at your own pace, or catch a wave on a surf lesson. In the afternoon, unleash your creativity at our wreath-making workshop, followed by an hour or two in Swim Club.

As the sun begins to set, think about dinner in one of our three restaurants. Throughout the day, little ones can join sessions in Kids' Zone, while the evening hums with live music, this is Christmas at Watergate Bay.

Today is the day for hobby reindeer. Spend the morning crafting your own in Kids' Zone, ready for the annual competition on the beach. Father Christmas preparation stations are underway with reindeer food, carrots and mince pies. And, as the day turns into night get together to sing carols with a hot chocolate in hand.

Happy Christmas / Nadelik Lowen!

Today is for taking is easy and making it up as you go along. Take a walk on the beach, unwind in Swim Club or sink into the arm chairs in the ocean room.
