🌊 The Ocean Lodge begins a new chapter today.

As we work our way through all the twists and turns that come with taking over a new business, we want to let the Ocean Lodge community know that over the coming days, weeks, and months you'll start to see a number of exciting changes taking place—changes we trust will enhance your experience every time you join us.

We're thrilled to welcome two new chefs to the team, who are already hard at work creating what we believe will be a truly magical menu. Their focus is simple: deliver genuine value without ever compromising on quality.

While there will be plenty of fresh ideas, new offerings, and exciting announcements to come, one thing will never change. At its heart, Ocean Lodge will remain a community-focused venue—a place where friends, families, locals, and visitors can come together, share a laugh, enjoy great food and drink, and create lasting memories.

We have some big news and exciting developments on the horizon that we think will make a lot of people very happy, and we can't wait to share them with you soon.

Most importantly, this venue belongs to the community it serves, and we'd love to hear from you. What would you like to see at Ocean Lodge? New menu items? Entertainment? Events? Family activities? Something completely different?

Drop a comment below and let us know. Your ideas matter, and we'd love to be part of bringing them to life.

Thank you for your support as we begin this journey. The best is yet to come.

Cheers 🍺

You asked. We listened.

After hearing from plenty of our locals, the Friday night raffles are sticking around for the next couple of weeks!

That’s right we’re keeping the good times (and the chances to win) rolling with raffles kicking off at 6pm this Friday.

Turns out getting rid of them was about as popular as warm beer and flat batteries, so we’ve done the sensible thing and kept them going.

See you Friday from 6pm. Bring your lucky charms, your mates, and maybe a backup excuse for when you don’t win.

See you at the bar 🍻

THIS WEEKEND IS GOING TO BE ABSOLUTELY EEEPPPIC 👏

Friday night kicks off with our legendary raffles and over $5000 worth of prizes up for grabs. This is our final raffle! We are going out with a bang!! Safe to say the meat trays are looking dangerously good and someone’s going home very happy.

Then Saturday… the owners have decided to chuck in a wee treat at the till because apparently they’ve chosen generosity this weekend. We won’t question it, we’ll just roll with it.

BUT Sunday is the big one ❤️

One of our amazing locals is shaving his hair for Hospice at 2PM and we’d love to see the community get right behind him. We’ll be running raffles ALL weekend long with proceeds going towards this awesome cause.

So basically:
Cold beers ✔️
Good feeds ✔️
Meat raffles ✔️
Questionable financial decisions on raffle tickets ✔️

Doing something good for the community ✔️

Get your crew together and spend the weekend with us at the Ocean

See you at the bar 🍻
