Why we love Noah’s on the Beach

For couples chasing ocean views at every turn, Noah’s on the Beach delivers. Set directly opposite Newcastle Beach, this venue is a favourite for relaxed, stylish weddings. We love how seamlessly it moves from sun-drenched ceremonies by the water to vibrant receptions overlooking the sea. With the ocean as your backdrop, your wedding photographs radiate freshness, warmth, and effortless beauty.

Newcastle Beach is across the road, and the Newcastle Ocean Baths and Bogey Hole are a short walk away. That gives us sand, heritage pools and sandstone cliffs within minutes for portraits.
