The Woodgate Beach Hotel itself is a family-owned venue, complete with a function centre overlooking the ocean, dining areas, a public bar, gaming room, and a recently added kids’ room. There’s also an onsite caravan park with powered sites and modern amenities, making it easy for families to stay right at the heart of the action.
