What’s in the central coast? Why people love to spend the weekend in Central Coast? In this video, I am going to take you there to discover the hidden gems of Central Coast NSW, and to check out a beach house with ocean views, crown plaza hotel in Terrigal, beautiful beaches, where to find some delicious foods, and where is this beautiful historical look out. Let’s get started.
There are lot of people moving up to Central Coast due to Sydney housing market is out of reach. And the houses here are relatively cheaper than Sydney, and some have ocean views. We went pass a house up for sale at Umina Beach, asking for $1.5m. It’s on top of the hill, so it has this immense ocean views. It’s a beautiful 3 bed room house with a swimming pool.
We stayed at the Crown Plaza hotel at Terrigal. Terrigal is a major coastal town of Central Coast. Terrigal is a very popular tourist destination with its long stretchy beach, urban and modern living environment. The crown plaza hotel is sitting right in front of the beach, and it certainly becomes my favourite hotel in central coast region.
The hotel feels nice, but it’s a bit dated and looking a bit old. The room rate is $300 per night on week days, and it can go up to $600 per night during the weekend.
Breakfast time is the best experience of our stay, the restaurant is facing east and the pacific ocean, so in the morning the restaurant is filled with morning sunshine, bright and lively.
Breakfast is included in our stay. Otherwise it will cost you $42 per person. The selections are good, lot of varieties, and they taste good.
We had a lunch at Beach House, a modern restaurant located right underneath the Crown Plaza, and right in front of the beach, so it has this beautiful ocean views, plus its delicious menu, combined with vibrant atmosphere, and a live band, we had a good time.
Copacabana beach is only 15 mins drive down south from Terrigal, this area is a bit more quiet and more family friendly. Most of the hoses have ocean views, so you can imagine the price here for a house - it’s easily over $2m. There are only 3000 people living in Copacabana beach, and mostly are local Australians.
5 mins drive, on top of the hill of Copacabana beach, it’s the very famous Winney look out and Captain Cook look out. The views are breathtaking and it’s just unbelievable. A must visit.
If you haven’t been to Avoca Beach, you haven’t been to Central Coast. There are 5000 people living here, and it’s a great place for the surfers, and they also hold annual surfing competition here.
We went to this beautiful restaurant in front of the Avoca beach. The restaurant looks very nice, but the waitress seems like she doesn’t want to be here. Not much services.
There is one regret for this trip - is that we didn’t have enough time to go for a walk in Bouddi Coastal Walk. It’s 8 and half kms long, I can imagine the spectacular ocean view along the walk way.
So there you go, whether you are a sun lover, beach lover, foodie lover, or adventure seeker, there are something for you in central coast. So go out, and enjoy a weekend like we did.
