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.

Comfortable, very clean, lovely breakfast,...

Liked: I have stayed before and really liked it then. Nothing has changed, Linda & Clive are still as welcoming as ever! The place is a home away from home and I LOVE the quirky / retro decor. So much love had gone into the making of this BnB, you can’t help but feel it when staying there. Very nice breakfast as well !!!!!
Disliked: Nothing

A very pleasant rest stop...

Liked: The property was located very conveniently next to the main road onto Hayling Island, not far from the M27. It was very conveniently located for a one night break in a long journey for me. There was a good pub about 10 minutes walk along the road for my evening meal. It was very close to a coastal nature reserve with many birds, which I visited before breakfast the next morning. For me, it was an ideal location to continue on a long journey. It was very quiet in the whole house and I was able to sleep well and rest after a very tiring couple of days. The host and hostess were very welcoming and my one-to-one breakfast produced some interesting conversation. It was a shame I was not able to stay longer.
Disliked: Everything was fine. However, I did notice some very noisy motorbikers racing along the main road next to the house on more than one occasion. It is a busy main road, but there is good off-road parking.
