Beachside NYE Party

Overview

Avoid the chaos of the CBD come December 31 and celebrate the new decade at a party by the beach. Better yet, make it a mini bar crawl without the hassle of having to trek between venues.

This New Year's Eve, Coogee Bay Hotel is hosting two big parties to farewell 2019. You can start the night off with three hours of bottomless drinks (the usual suspects — beer, wine and bubbles are on the menu) plus canapes to line your stomach at a VIP pre-party on the balcony. That means exclusive views of the ocean and Coogee's 9pm fireworks. The party runs from 7pm–10pm and tickets are $149 or $169 for access to the hotel's countdown shenanigans.

Alternatively, Coogee Bay Hotel's massive live music space, Selina's, will be a neon haven of tunes and good times from 8pm all the way through to 3am. If you're skipping the balcony and heading straight in for a boogie, first release tickets are $40, so snap them up quick.

The music lineup for Selina's countdown party is huge, so get ready for synth harmonies and hip-hop beats from Tassie's Close Counters as well as the techno house jams of Motorik Vibe Council. Then get wild with Gold Coast surfer dudes Cut Snake, before grooving well into the night with tunes by DJ duo The Aston Shuffle.

Coogee Bay Hotel's VIP balcony pre-party runs from 7pm–10pm, with tickets available here. The countdown party at in-house venue Selina's goes from 8pm–3am, with tickets available here.
