Cox Country Club — Restaurant in Wagait Beach

This place was a real surprise. Located at Wagait Beach, the roadside signs to the Country Club conjure pictures of a green spreading golf course, with a modern comfortable pub, with a verandah overlooking the sea. The reality is very different. The club is a humble bar in a shed with a large covered area near a mature banyan tree. The tables and chairs are very basic. After getting over my surprise, I decided to eat here anyway and very glad I did. I ordered a meal and drink and relaxed for an hour or so. The peace and isolation was great. The barman was friendly and ready for a chat. The fish and chips were fresh and quickly served up. Real old-fashioned country service. Thanks guys. Afterwards, I went to Wagait Beach and enjoyed a gorgeous sunset, quiet beach and cool evening. The whole experience was magical. It's a 1 1/2 hour drive from Darwin but I'm glad I made the effort. The jetty at Mandorah is worth a stop too. You can see Darwin across...

Had an unexpected visit to this beautifully located Country Club.We (4).we're pleasantly surprised by the friendly reception we received.

Not only by the size of the meal and the cost, but the drinks were cold,the service prompt and the lady behind the counter was a mind of information, including giving us an excellent recommendation to an eating place in Darwin as two of us were celebrating our 56 wedding anniversary. We would recommending this Club to all. They even have a shuttle bus to and from the ferry (limited...

Purchased the $45 ferry, bus transfer and lunch (inclusive package). We took the 1pm ferry from Darwin (Cullen Bay). Ferry is only 15/20 mins over. Bus shuttle was fun to the country club (10 mins) very nice driver who made sure those returning were all accounted for. Food was really nice! Comprehensive menu. I got the Barra but my friend got the vegan sausage roll and wedges. Other vego options were a vegetarian burger and vegetarian pastry. You pay for your own drinks of course but spirits are only $7 (bargain). We got the 3:20pm ferry return to Darwin....
