The Spotlight on Waratah Lodge

Relaxed Island Base with Easy Access to South Coast Music Spots

Modern yet cozy, Waratah Lodge is a friendly retreat on the northern tip of Hayling Island, just off the South Coast of England. With a beachy vibe, clean rooms, and a freshly renovated feel, it’s a great home base whether you're catching a concert nearby or just soaking in the sea air. Guests enjoy free internet, free parking, and comfortable rooms with private bathrooms. The lodge is also a great spot for exploring the area’s water sports and historic sites.

Why Concert-goers love it

Waratah Lodge is a great pick for music fans heading to gigs in nearby Portsmouth or along the Hampshire coast. It’s on a quieter part of the island, ideal for resting after a show, yet still close enough to local venues via short taxi or bus rides. The 14:00 check-in and 11:00 check-out offer flexibility, and the peaceful setting ensures a good night’s sleep after the encore.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends planning a gig and a beach weekend
  • Solo travelers ticking off a bucket-list artist
  • Couples making a mini-break of it
  • Fans needing a quiet place to unwind after the show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value with comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, Waratah Lodge offers a choice of breakfast to start your day right—even after a late night. For other meals, there are several pubs and eateries within walking or short driving distance, many offering hearty local fare. Late-night dining is better found off-site in nearby towns.

Nightlife Options

Though the Lodge itself is more of a retreat than a party spot, you’re just a quick trip from live music pubs and bars in the area. Portsmouth’s vibrant nightlife is especially close, offering everything from craft beer spots to seaside clubs. It’s easy to head out for the night and return to a quiet, comfy room.

What People Say

Guests regularly praise the friendly staff, exceptional cleanliness, and convenient location. The lodge’s peaceful atmosphere and well-kept rooms earn high marks, especially from travelers looking for a restful stay. Many highlight the free parking and ease of access as major perks.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests have noted that the décor is a bit simple, and without a full restaurant or bar on-site, food options are limited to nearby spots. But for most, these are minor trade-offs for the value and tranquility offered.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to a show on the South Coast and want a quiet, friendly, and affordable place to crash, Waratah Lodge hits all the right notes.

Lovely hosts and very comfortable...

Liked: The property is beautiful and both Linda and Clive are very welcoming and can't do enough to make you feel at home. Nothing is a problem and the couple are keen to help with any queries you may have about the island. I hope to visit again.
Disliked: Maybe a slightly later time for breakfast.

Welcoming Landlady in the traditional...

Liked: Very attentive Landlady and great breakfast feast if wanted. Clean & tidy room and spare shower gels and hair washing liquids too.
Disliked: The decoration of my room was not to my taste (heart pillows) but would suit most couples I'm sure.

Liked: Very friendly and helpful hosts. Don't expect very modern furniture, but a cosy and nice home. It was very clean and I enjoyed my stay. The room was spacious and the breakfast good. Wifi worked great and there was parking in front of the house.
