When it comes to quick getaways from Newcastle, the Central Coast has always been an easy choice.
Beautiful beaches, waterfront walks, and a relaxed pace make the Central Coast an ideal weekend destination. Sitting right in the heart of it all, voco Gosford gives you yet another reason to add the Central Coast to your weekend-away consideration list.
Since opening in December 2025, voco Gosford has brought fresh energy to the Central Coast accommodation scene, offering a stay that works just as well for couples seeking a romantic escape as it does for families after an easy holiday close to home.

Part of the vibrant Archibald Precinct, voco Gosford is a complete stay-and-play destination, combining stylish accommodation, multiple dining venues, resort-style facilities, and one of the region’s most talked-about rooftop experiences.

The 130-room hotel embraces the playful personality that the voco brand is known for. Guest rooms are bright, contemporary, and designed with comfort in mind, with many featuring private balconies and sweeping views across Brisbane Water, and the surrounding coastline.
For couples, the standout experience is undoubtedly Astra, the rooftop bar and Japanese-inspired izakaya perched on Level 28. As the highest rooftop venue on the Central Coast, Astra pairs spectacular views with an equally impressive dining experience.

The menu, created by Michelin-trained Executive Chef Maxime Chasseriaud and Sous Chef Harry Cho, centres around traditional Japanese techniques and fire-driven cooking.

Expect premium meats and seafood prepared over a hibachi grill using binchōtan charcoal, alongside expertly crafted cocktails and a sophisticated atmosphere that transitions seamlessly from afternoon drinks to evening dining.

Families are equally catered for throughout The Archibald Precinct. Archies offers a relaxed pub-style atmosphere perfect for casual meals, while Paolo’s serves hand-rolled pasta, wood-fired pizza, and Italian favourites.

For those seeking something a little different, Ironbark showcases modern Australian cuisine with a focus on woodfire cooking and locally inspired flavours.

Back at the hotel, guests can spend time around the swimming pool, enjoy a drink from the swim-up bar, or make use of the onsite wellness facilities before heading out to explore everything the Central Coast has to offer.
With accommodation, dining, entertainment, and relaxation all in one place, voco Gosford delivers a contemporary getaway experience that feels both effortless and memorable – and all within easy reach of Newcastle.
