Updated Review Based on my previous unpleasant experience here, I honestly didn’t feel like coming back. However, yesterday, my friends and I decided to give it another try out of curiosity — and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the service had improved a lot compared to last time. This time, the staff brought cutlery along with the first serving of Turkish bread, and the overall service felt much warmer and more attentive. I truly appreciate this change and the effort made to provide the correct level of hospitality. Because of this positive experience, I am happy to remove my previous review and update it to reflect the improvement. Thank you for showing that good service is possible here.

I organised an event for 70 Red Hat ladies on Galentines day. It was a fabulous venue with a beautiful view of the harbour. The staff were very friendly and nothing was a problem for them . All the food was delicious with many of our ladies complementing the chefs. It's obvious they are used to catering for large groups as the food all came out in a timely manner and the bar staff were lovely and quick to serve our ladies. I would highly recommend Honeysuckle Hotel for your next Event. QUEEN CELLY RED HATTERS MAITLAND.

I had a scheduled date planned for myself and my partner for our 2 year anniversary. I will admit due to work and life circumstances i needed to keep on phoning honeysuckle hotel to keep changing times; i know, not ideal. But everytime i rang the staff were so lovely, compassionate and patient. The night of our anniversary everyone said happy anniversary and the staff and manager were absolutely terrific. I felt so welcomed and appreciated; not like a number on a spread sheet which is where i feel everywhere else. I will tell all of my friends and family about this joint and i will be a returning customer. From casual drinks to big nights out, i will always trust honeysuckle hotel to look after me with their fantastic attitude to inclusivity, love and kindness they have for the industry.

My wife and I have been going there on occasions for fair few years now. Unfortunately won’t be going back again. The seafood platter has changed. Prawns were revolting. Salty!! No sauce given with the meal! Very very dry. When I ask for some seafood sauce I was told to line up at the bar and order it. Line was 20 minutes long. When leaving we spoke to another couple who said they didn’t like it either. Then another was left on a table basically untouched. They need to do something.Not worth the $180 and one hour drive anymore.

We visited for lunch and while the atmosphere was fairly quiet for a Monday afternoon, the real standout was the barramundi—perfectly cooked, fresh, and full of flavour. Unfortunately, our experience was let down a little by a mix-up with our order being forgotten by being not sent to the kitchen, which meant a longer-than-expected wait. Staff were apologetic once it was flagged, but it did impact the overall experience. That said, the quality of the food made up for it to some extent. Would give it another try, hopefully with smoother service next time!

The Mezzanine Level
The Mezzanine level is located above the main bar and is available for full or part-floor hire. Both sides of the Mezzanine have private bar access. As this is an elevated level rather than an enclosed room, you are still very much a part of the main bar atmosphere and entertainment. This space is suitable for events of 40-220 guests cocktail.
The Pier
Harbour Room
Positioned quite literally over the water, the Harbour Room at Honeysuckle Hotel offers one of Newcastle’s most iconic waterfront event spaces. Framed by full-length glass walls and perched on the edge of the harbour, this semi-private room provides uninterrupted panoramic views of the working port, docked cruise liners, and colourful coastal sunsets. With flexible layouts, bar tab options, and curated menus we can create a truly unique ambiance for cocktail parties, corporate functions, milestone birthdays, and engagement celebrations.
