Lago Cucina

Lago Cucina sits on Level 1 of the Budgewoi Hotel.

Lago Cucina is a contemporary Italian trattoria on the Central Coast, perched above The Budgewoi Hotel with glimpses of Lake Budgewoi. Its Mediterranean-inspired interiors — textured white walls, arched alcoves, stone and timber accents — create a chic yet welcoming atmosphere. The menu celebrates modern Italian cooking with handmade pasta, bold flavours and timeless favourites, paired with cocktails that channel the spirit of the Italian coastline.

The Budgie is your home away from home. A coastal landmark reimagined, it’s where cold beers meet hot chips, summer afternoons linger in the beer garden, and winter nights glow by the firepit. Whether it’s catching the game with mates, or heading upstairs to Lago, The Budgie is a true neighbourhood pub with something for everyone.

Events

With capacities of up to 80 guests cocktail, Budgewoi Hotel is the ultimate Central Coast destination for birthdays, corporate gatherings, cocktail parties and everything in between. From private event spaces to outdoor areas, The Budgie offers a relaxed, versatile setting right in the heart of Budgewoi.

Our dedicated events team is here to make your celebration seamless and tailored to your vision, ensuring that every moment feels effortless and unforgettable.
