Eat, Drink, And Be Wed: This Stunning South Coast Hotel Offers It All

And It’s Less Than An Hour From The Shire

Headlands Hotel, Austinmer

Down the coastline and over the famous, undulating Sea Cliff Bridge lies Austinmer, a relaxed town known for its beautiful Norfolk pine-edged beaches, picturesque headlands and nature-filled bushwalks. But, as locals and visitors would attest, one of the best spots to soak up the scenery is the cliff-perched Headlands Hotel.

Coming in at just under an hour’s drive from the Sutherland Shire, Headlands Hotel in Austinmer has long drawn those seeking a great brew and delicious meal, earning its rightful place both as a breakfast, lunchtime, or dinner stopover and final destination. Yes, it’s true - whether you’re snacking on steamed dumplings from the 1968 Airstream-Sovereign-turned-food-truck, biting into a beetroot and quinoa burger, or simply sipping on a good drop, we’re willing to wager that this seaside hotel will quickly win your heart (and stomach).

But it’s not just the bites and beverages that make Headlands so sought-after: it’s also a fully-fledged and much-acclaimed wedding venue.

As anyone who has done so will tell you, planning a wedding is no cakewalk - especially where the word ‘destination’ is concerned. But therein lies the appeal of the Headlands Hotel. Offering 55 sundrenched rooms worth of accommodation (goodbye designated drivers), flexible packages, a dedicated event coordinator, more stunning ceremony spots than you can shake a stick at (including Little Austinmer Beach, Tuckerman Park, Glastonbury Gardens, or onsite), and all oh-so-close to home, Headlands Hotel’s holistic nature sees it quickly scale its way to the top of many bride-or-groom-to-be’s lists. It’s a magical venue that feels miles away despite its convenient location.

Aside from the obvious visual drawcard of panoramic views over the Pacific Ocean, Headlands Hotel’s allure stems from its sophisticated and refined, yet relaxed design and its ability to cater to smaller, more intimate affairs as well as larger celebrations.

Named The Ocean View Room, the architectural reception area enjoys two bars, a large balcony and state-of-the-art facilities.

Thanks to a dedicated, separate function kitchen, Headlands also offers a mouthwatering, flavourful array of seasonal dishes to be enjoyed post-formalities. Depending on preferences, budget and guests, couples can choose between five food reception options that scale from hot and cold canapes right up to a three course meal complete with a grazing station and premium spirit selection. You can also add on a series of ‘Event Enhancers’, which include the likes of spirit upgrades, a DIY mimosa bar and cocktails upon arrival.

Say ‘I do’ at one of the many beautiful locations surrounding the venue

Much like its coastal chic style, Headlands Hotel is unfussy in nature when it comes to nuptial celebrations. Everything is included - meaning no nasty hidden costs - and all you will need to organise is your reception and ceremony styling, music or entertainment, and party vendors.

The cherry on top?

Once you’ve undoubtedly danced the night away, you (and your guests, if you so desire) can retreat to a beautifully appointed serviced apartment or penthouse to kick off your heels and wake up to pure oceanside bliss.
