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 the harbour.
The club is amazing and packed with welcoming locals. Food was excellent, atmosphere is very family friendly. You get to have a chat with locals and find out more about their wonderful home. Highly recommended if you are staying in Darwin or surrounds. Come down to Cox Country Club for good feed and great chat with super-friendly locals. We will be back for sure.
