On the water

The boats are modern and bright — proper lounges, big decks, easy helm positions — and the lake is all sheltered water, so first-timers relax fast. No licence needed; sunsets over the western shore are included.

Around Wangi

Wangi’s pub crowns the point, Pulbah Island sits just offshore as the lake’s wild heart, and the run north opens bay after bay — with Newcastle’s beaches and the Central Coast headlands bracketing the lake by car.
