Top Surf lifesaving clubs in Coolangatta, Australia

Cracking place to visit with the family, staff were super friendly from the front desk, to the wait staff and all involved, steaks were beautiful and the kids loved their meals. Although the weather was poor during our visit it would be amazing on a glorious day.

Well done.

Great views, lovely food. Fantastic service from Rose.

Amazing place! Food and drinks were fantastic! Definitely recommend the seafood platter for 2!

Service was top notch. Power went out and we were a little concerned about ordering but they handled it well (despite no communication to customers that weren't asking) No atmosphere though with no background music and the food was disappointing. Ordered cob for entree which was OK. Mains were a seafood platter which fair enough its deep-fried, was flavourless and boring with a very small portion of tartare in a cardboard cup. Fish pie was very watery and the seafood was in large chunks. Cleanliness of glass and touch points needs work.

STUNNING beachfront views as far as the eye can see. Super friendly staff all genuine and helpful. The food was sensational and great value, perfect for a family catchup or as a couple. We loved it so much we became members and can’t wait to return. Bring your cozzie and go for a dip afterwards at the beach or visit the shops opposite. 11/10

We (2 couples) chose to have our last big dining-out meal here at the end of our 28-day visit to Australia in Oct. 2024. It’s got a great location right on the beach, the menu is loaded with enough items to satisfy any tastes, and the bar has a wide variety of wines, beers, and liquors. All 4 of us agreed that it was our best meal of the 28 days. Similar to a few other restaurants we’ve visited, you go to the bar to order and pay for your liquids, and you go to another counter to order and pay for your meals. They deliver the meals to your table when ready.

I had the Prawn & Bug Fettuccine. What’s the “Bug”? It’s basically a baby lobster…already cut in half for you, so you can easily extract the meat and discard the shell. There were plenty of prawns too, along with a rich and tasty cream sauce over everything. Portion sizes are plenty big enough. I couldn’t finish all the pasta. Others at the table had Garlic Prawns (“Fantastic”), Chicken Parmigiana (“Very good, but way too big to finish”), and the Warm Thai Beef Salad (“Very tasty”).

We explained to the Hostess that we were finishing up our month-long visit to Australia, and she very kindly put us at the last available window seat. The windows are pretty dirty from surf spray, but we still enjoyed looking out at the ocean as we dined…even saw an Australian navy gunship arriving as we ate. This is a fairly large venue, so it was pretty noisy. That would be my only negative comment about the entire evening. And it wasn’t “stupid noisy”, just your regular crowded restaurant noisy.

I don’t think anybody would be disappointed with the food here. I’d go back again and again, and would certainly recommend it to all who read this review.

For a Surf Club the food and service were amazing. The food is great value for money and the venue is ideal for large groups or families with children. We enjoyed our lunch and time here. Pictured are the steak and the seafood platter.

Best Surf club on the eastern seaboard. Great menu choice, pleasant attentive food and bar staff, awesome view. Great service. Our favourite GO TO.
