Simplicity, elegance, service and superb food

Elegance, personalised service and expert culinary skill is evident in every aspect of the dining experience at Pretty Beach House.

Dining at Pretty Beach House is an experience in itself. We proudly work alongside inspiring local producers and farmers who supply premium produce to our chefs, who then create dishes that reflect unique Australian flavours. Bespoke modern Australian menus using locally sourced seafood, outstanding organic produce and native ingredients unique to the area change daily and are highly personalised to suit your tastes and requirements.

The main house is designed for relaxation and conviviality, where all your senses will be inspired by iconic Australian artworks, the rustic-chic dining table settings and the spectacular bush and bay views. You’re invited to help yourself from the fully stocked bar and relax before dinner while taking in the stunning coastal vistas.

You can choose to dine in the spectacular dining room, casually at the bar with chef’s interaction, in the privacy of your room, or, al fresco by the pool on a lovely day or evening.

An extensive range of premium wines, beers and spirits are on offer daily. Each beverage is hand-picked by the house sommelier to complement the daily menus. For those looking further afield, the Pretty Beach House wine cellar, curated by owner Brian Barry, is stocked with incredible rare old and new-world wines.

 

Pretty Beach House adheres to Responsible Service of Alcohol guidelines, with beverage service concluding by 11:30pm each evening and the main house closed at Midnight.

Incredible food

The food was incredible at Pretty Beach House. Really, really delicious, words can't describe. Probably the best I had on this trip to Australia! Thank you to all the staff for looking after me so well.

Incredible 2 nights

I just wanted to reach out to share our thanks for the most amazing 2 nights stay with you. The experience was incredible from the second we arrived! We truely got to unwind, eat amazing meals, drink beautiful wines but most, my husband and I got to connect and LAUGH like we haven't in so long! Having stressful jobs and 2 small kids life is chaos. But PBH allowed us to fully unwind, reconnect and appreciate life all over again. I cannot thank you and the team enough for our beautiful stay ! We will be back!!

Heavenly Escape

Pretty Beach house is an an escape to heaven 90 minutes from Sydney CBD. Food was consistently Michelin Star. Service from Stephen, Christoph, Colin and Manon was impeccable, friendly, respectful and ultimately attentive. As only 4 couples in resort, everything is personalised. Our room (The Retreat) was spacious and well-appointed. Our plunge pool was heated and good to swim, despite unseasonable poor weather. The pool is private. This was our second visit and for the second time there was nothing I could fault. We will be back as soon as practical.

Deserves many Michelin Stars

Thank you and your team for having us at Pretty Beach House. PBH is such a special place to unwind and relax. The cuisine was absolutely phenomenal and deserves many Michelin stars! Enjoy the rest of your winter and looking forward to coming back already.

Home Away from Home

Thank you for another really amazing & wonderful stay at Pretty Beach House. I can’t even explain in words how much we enjoyed ourselves and everything about this place is magical, including every wonderful staff member – it feels like a home away from home.

Our Favourite

We had an amazing time in Australia. We really loved the country and the people. Each place we went was wonderful. Ironically our favorite (and the competition was fierce ) was Pretty Beach house. The experience of a 4-couple house with such personal attention has not been duplicated in all my travels. The Treetops room was wonderful. We hope to come back one day. Thank you very much.

Shall recommend forever!

Good morning! Just wanted to let you know how very, very much we enjoyed our stay at Pretty Beach House! Can’t imagine a more perfect place. The surroundings were fabulous, the food and wine beyond that and the staff so terrific. Shall recommend forever!
