Chante Kids Day Spa

Chante is a great place for tween girls to have a special girly day celebrating your birthday or hanging out with your friends. I had my birthday there and I loved it. I loved getting my hands warmed up with hot towels but most of all the manicure and pedicure. It was so relaxing and the food was delicious. The special treat of gelato really hit the spot.

Go Skating Skate Rink

If you are looking for something more adventurous, then Go Skating Skate Rink is a great place to pop on some roller skates or blades and slide around for your birthday celebration. It’s something I’d love to do! For a boy’s point of view, I asked my younger brother what he thought too. He says it would be awesome to skate around and hang out with his friends.

Holey Moley Golf Club

Holey Moley is a great place to play mini golf – but not just any golf! There are different themed holes like a living room and a maths classroom, so it is very cool to chill out with friends indoors. You can order food, they have party packages you can choose from and the best part? The arcade with lots of interesting games to play!

Black Duck Ceramics

If I wanted a birthday to do something creative at, I would choose Black Duck Ceramics studio. There are lots of different classes for making pottery and provide different workshops for parties for all ages (not just tweens!) You get to use air dry clay to form your creations. It is indoors so it is a great wet weather or winter activity. I’ve been to Black Duck before and had so much fun partying with my friends.

everyone’s a local

Bulli’s main street is home to pretty much anything you could need, from butchers to bakers. While not quite the candlestick maker, the Heritage Hotel might be an even better find; a pub that welcomes all.

a centenary of stories

In 2026, celebrated the centenary of the first auction of the 280 blocks of land in Werri Beach. This was an initiative of local dairy farmer James Muir Miller. The development was certainly ahead of its time as it was marketed primarily to prospective buyers from Sydney as a holiday destination.
