If you’re looking to make your next beachside getaway a little more rock and roll, the folks at the Boogie Woogie Beach House can probably oblige. They recently opened Australia’s first music-themed boutique hotel.
“Want a NSW beach holiday that combines food and destination: where you can party to live music, eat like a king, stumble upstairs to your designer room, then wash away any evidence in the surf over the road next morning?” organisers write.
We don’t know about you, but we certainly do. Boogie Woogie Beach House can be found in the NSW mid-north coastal town of Old Bar (not to be confused with the Melbourne venue of the same name), about three-and-a-half hours from Sydney.
Fast becoming a fresh new live music landmark, Boogie Woogie Beach House is less than 100m from the beach and features in-house entertainment every Friday night and Sunday lunchtime, with performances from local and international acts.
The venue slash hotel has already seen sold-out performances from the likes of Diesel, The Audreys, Mick Thomas, and The Celibate Rifles, and they recently announced a 22nd April appearance from Tex Perkins & Charlie Owen.
“When the Celibate Rifles heard about Boogie Woogie they phoned us,” said co-owner Stephen “Doss” Doessel. “They asked if they could stay and play a gig, as they wanted to go surfing.”
But the music doesn’t end once the gig is over. When lodgers at the Boogie Woogie Beach House retire to their rooms, they’ll find each is decked out in tribute to an iconic musician.
With four more slated, there’s currently rooms devoted to Nick Cave, Dave Grohl, David Bowie, Louis Armstrong, and one devoted to the beloved mixtape. Each of the five rooms comes complete with its own bespoke bathroom, tiled to resemble each respective musician.
When you get to feeling a little peckish, chef Julie-Ann Booth will serve up dishes fit for a king or queen. We’re not kidding, she’s actually cooked for royalty, like The Sultan of Brunei, Queen Elizabeth, Princess Di, and Prince Charles, as well as former Prime Ministers.
Check out some incredible pics from the rooms below.
