There's nothing quite like it

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.

OPEN FOR LUNCH AND DINNER EVERY DAY

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.

But sometimes people like to savor the food we create with love and skill in another idyllic location. That’s why we also do Take-Away.

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.

Our History

The Lake Macquarie Yacht Club has its beginnings in 1929 the year of the Wall Street Stock Market crash when the 10 founding fathers held a meeting in a Tobacconist and Hairdressers Shop in Hunter Street Newcastle.

Racing originally took place at Toronto as the founding fathers had a background in skiffs mostly at Toronto.

However in December 1932 “The Old Stone Jetty” at Belmont became available and was taken up by the club. The jetty was 60 to 70 years old at the time and needed considerable restoration.

Racing moved from Toronto to Belmont with races being started and finished from a timber landing on the western end of the jetty.

In December 1933 an application was made to erect a building on the western side of the jetty and it was approved promptly.

The new clubhouse was opened on Saturday 28th of April 1934 in time for the Easter Regatta by the Hon. C.J. Parker MLC.

The carpark as we know it today was completed in 1966 and the original marina development was completed in 1978 with most of the design and procurement works carried out by several dedicated volunteer members.
