Why Martha?
At Martha, it’s never just a meal.
It’s good food, great company, unbeatable views… and, of course, cocktails worth staying for.
Every visit adds another chapter to Her Story , of what’s on, what’s new, and what’s next.
Maybe it’s Pronto on Thursday nights or Friday lunches, where you catch up with friends over fresh pasta and cocktails for just $49.
Or perhaps it’s Sip & Sounds every Sunday from 2pm–5pm, where handcrafted cocktails, live local acoustic music and one of Lake Macquarie’s best sunset views create the perfect way to end the weekend.
For Father’s Day, where the lake does half the work and Dad gets spoiled the way he deserves. (Bookings essential.) $90pp feast me is on offer.
For a limited time Baby Showers & Sprinkles, where the mum-to-be eats and drinks free. Because why wouldn’t she? (T&Cs)
Martha is where food meets feeling. Where the playlist is just right. Where conversations linger longer.
And the name? That’s where it gets interesting.
In 1800, Captain William Reid set sail from Sydney aboard a 30-tonne schooner called Martha, bound for the Hunter River to collect coal. But instead of heading far enough north, he sailed into what we now know as Lake Macquarie, becoming the first European to discover it.
For years, it was known as Reid’s Mistake. 1826, it was renamed Lake Macquarie.
But the spirit of Martha remained.
