This is a great seafood restaurant on the waterfront of Newcastle harbour. The seafood is fresh and reasonably priced. The service is great with friendly staff. They also have a takeaway stand out the front where you can get fish and chips cooked in the same kitchen as the restaurant food.

Approximate cost: $30

The dining isn't that great but the entertainment is the best on the coast. They have a large auditorium that has great accoustics. They have a lot of tribute bands and it's free for members and only $5-10 for guests

This club has the best and freshest seafood at a really affordable price. The views are of Sydney harbour and the club is small and intimate and not full of poker machines.

Approximate cost: $22

Van Munster boats are great builders of children's racing dinghies called sabots. They have won and placed in the last couple of years Australian and NSW championships.

Great Chinese food that doesn't have a lot of onion in its dishes like most Chinese restaurants. All the dishes are big servings and you get a fortune cookie with your bill.

Approximate cost: $16

The food is cooked in front of you and it's so fresh and tasty. The place is always packed with people travelling from all over the central coast. It's well priced and the servings are large.
