RESTAURANT
1920: Where history meets hospitality
For more than a century, Catalina has been part of this community.
From its humble beginnings, a small golf course built by determined local hands , to becoming a destination for golfers from Sydney to Melbourne, Catalina has always carried with it a rich story. Even its name is steeped in history, recalling the mid-century seaplanes that once touched down on the estuary’s shores.
Established in 1920, the club has thrived thanks to the people who built it and the community that continues to sustain it. It has been a second home for sports heroes, community leaders, and countless locals, each adding their own chapter to its story.
Our restaurant has long been a cornerstone of this experience , renowned for its warm hospitality, generous spirit, and culinary excellence. In recent years, the restaurant team has proudly earned two State awards for its signature dishes, celebrating the flavours of the South Coast and the quality of locally sourced, pasture-fed beef from regional producers. Alongside one of the largest wine cellars in the region, and a resident cocktail mixologist, Catalina is a the casual dining destination in the estuary region.
This year, we honour that legacy with a name that reflects our heritage and our standards;1920.
1920 is more than a restaurant , it is a celebration of heritage and community. A place where guests are treated like family, where quality is a given, and where South Coast hospitality remains legendary.
Welcome to 1920: a neighbourhood dining experience, created by the people, for the people.
Bookings are essential.
