Dee Why Hotel

Last updated April 2026

The Dee Why Hotel in Sydney isn’t just a family-friendly restaurant—it’s a relaxed spot where parents can unwind and kids are happily entertained. With a spacious outdoor area shaded by big umbrellas, it’s the perfect place for a casual lunch or dinner after a morning at the beach. The kids’ menu is simple, tasty, and won’t break the bank, while the adults can enjoy a cold drink with a view of the bustling Pittwater Road. It’s the kind of place where everyone leaves happy, especially after a scoop of ice cream on the way out. Whether you’re catching up with friends or escaping the afternoon heat, this spot fits the bill with minimal fuss and maximum comfort. What to Bring A lightweight jacket if it’s breezy. Snacks for the car ride home. Sunscreen if you’re sitting outside. A toy or colouring book to keep little hands busy. Best Age Range Best for 2–8 year olds. Toddler activities Sydney-style are limited here, but the outdoor space gives them room to wiggle. Good to Know Kids’ meals are around $10. High chairs are available. Street parking is hit or miss on weekends. Try to arrive before 12pm or after 2pm to avoid the lunch rush. Nearby The Dee Why Lagoon playground just a 5-minute drive away in Dee Why, Sydney. North Curl Curl Beach is another 5 minutes south if the kids need to burn off energy. Tips From Other Parents Bring a portable fan if it’s a hot day—outdoor seating can get stuffy. The kids’ toilets are small, so head there first. Check for live music on weekends—it’s fun but can get loud."
