A unique dining destination is coming to Lake Macquarie, with Awaba House in Booragul expected to re-open its doors like never before.

The 20th century gem is rising from the ashes after it was badly damaged by fire in 2019, promising an unparalleled dining experience.

While the historic facade will be maintained, a modern interior will welcome guests.

From the terrace and ceremony area, guests will be treated to breathtaking lakeside vistas that stretch as far as the eye can see, while inside, a sophisticated restaurant maintains water views.

Located adjacent to the city’s cultural hub, the Museum of Art and Culture yapang, the site blends rich history with modern art, offering a unique culinary experience. 

The project will deliver a vibrant dining experience for the city while creating a major drawcard for visitors and locals alike. It will include:

  • a restaurant overlooking the lake
  • a terrace area for outdoor dining
  • a kitchen and cafe space
  • a ceremony area
  • new footpath and landscaping.
