Merewether Surfhouse - Merewether, New South Wales

What an incredible spot! My recent visit to Merewether Surfhouse was unforgettable. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by stunning beach views and the calming sound of the ocean. We ordered both the fish and the steak, and they were perfectly cooked—flavorful, tender, and absolutely delicious. The service was top-notch as well; everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. Being right next to the Merewether Ocean Baths added an extra touch of coastal charm. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that left me with wonderful memories. Highly recommended!

One of My Favorite Breakfast Spots!

Merewether surfhouse is an amazing place for breakfast! The view is absolutely perfect, the staff are lovely, and the confectionery is delicious. The coffee is also really good, making it a great spot to start the day. Highly recommend!

We had lunch in the bar area, the food and drink was great and we love the location.

I feel like the packets of salt and pepper are a bit of a let down. Mereweather surfhouse is up there in price and it feels a bit cheap being handed take away style salt and peppers, just brings the standard down for me which is just a bit disappointing considering the quality of the establishment.

I loved having a glass of wine at sunset on the terrace. What a beautiful Newcastle!

I came here for business, and I really like the city. The walk from Bar beach to this surf house is stunning.

The service at the bar could be better—the guy was a bit rude, but I’ll forgive him. I imagine it’s a matter of age, though at his age, I was a bit kinder.

That said, I really enjoyed the experience overall!

What a beautiful venue for a surprise wedding !!! Whether it's for a wedding , birthday, or even a baby shower, this place is perfect.
It has great views of the ocean with floor to ceiling windows.
We were well looked after with the staff very friendly and helpful.
The food was amazing with plenty of it. No one went hungry! Great selection of beers and wine as well as cocktails.
I would thoroughly recommend the Merewether Surfhouse.

Great location with fantastic views. We enjoyed the meal (although one chicken dish was undercooked and chef was made aware). The long table next to us was a party of young women who were very raucous but enjoying themselves. It was a Saturday night, after all!

Why does no one stay?
I can only comment on the bar area as we gave up on the restaurantyears ago. A group of locals regularly call in for a drink. We are all very willing to stay on for a while and look at the amazing view. The location is amazing! So why does everyone leave? It's because of the music and the acoustics! Horrendous! We all moved seats once tonight and then decided to leave. We know know from previous requests never ask for staff to turn the music down as the opposite happens. So sad. It use to be so good! Fix the acoustics and get a better play list. Alternatively walk across to the Beach Hotel like we did 🤔

The 3-5 pm specials are lovely. It is such a beautiful place to unwind after a swim in the ocean baths with a cocktail on such a beautiful Australia Day.
