Crusoe’s on the Lake is the best waterfront restaurant in Belmont. Hosted by  Lake Macquarie Yacht Club , Crusoe’s is the perfect restaurant venue to dine and catch up with friends while admiring the wonderful view across the water or to grab a coffee and relax in the sun. Stretching over the water is a massive deck that is a bustling locale on warmer days. There is nothing quite like it in all of Newcastle and Lake Macquarie.

Lunch 11.30am to 3pm • dinner 5pm till late.

Our restaurant  menu  offers the best value for money in all of the Belmont and Newcastle regions with a variety of dining options to ensure there is something to impress everyone. We serve the traditional ‘pub fare’ with a couple of twists and also have a range of share platter options, which are great for groups enjoying a drink on the deck. Our $15 lunches are available during weekdays and our restaurant specials change regularly.

We know that our delicious food plus the stunning location directly over the water of Lake Macquarie make a perfect combination for a relaxing lunch or an exquisite dinner.

LAKE MACQUARIE YACHT CLUB, Belmont - Updated 2024 Restaurant Reviews, Menu & Prices - Tripadvisor

• Plan your trip

Accommodation

Spending a day in Lake Macquarie is great. But staying the night? Even better. Wake up in time to catch the sunrise from the inside the ancient sea caves at Caves Beach, or watch as the sun slowly makes its way across the sky; reflecting glowing dawn colours off the glassy surface of the lake.

There’s plenty of different options to suit all budgets. Hotels, motels and resorts make for an easy escape, and range from budget-friendly through to stylish luxury. You can live as the locals do in your very own holiday house, or stay in a quaint waterfront cottage or boatshed unique to the area.

If you’re after a natural escape, camp by the lake in one of our waterfront holiday parks, or up in the mountains amongst the pines.
