Rydges Cronulla Beachside
A surf-side hotel overlooking Cronulla Beach and Gunnamatta Bay — pillar-less ballroom and a dedicated ceremony deck above the sand.
About Rydges Cronulla Beachside
Rydges Cronulla brings surf‑side style to the Shire. Situated about 40 minutes south of Sydney's CBD, the hotel overlooks Cronulla Beach and Gunnamatta Bay. The versatile Sutherland Room, the hotel's largest function space, is sun‑drenched with a flexible, pillar‑less design, free Wi‑Fi and an adjoining covered balcony. A ceremony deck called Ceremony by the Sea sits above the sand, providing a weather‑protected location with ocean views.
For weddings, the Sutherland Room caters for 70–110 seated guests. When configured for cocktail events it can host up to 175 guests. The hotel also offers smaller spaces such as the Solander Room and James Cook Room for break‑out sessions or intimate gatherings. Couples booking their reception receive complimentary accommodation and beverage upgrades for selected dates, and the on‑site events team helps tailor menus and décor.
The setting exudes a coastal‑cool atmosphere. Natural light floods the Sutherland Room through large windows, and the balcony allows guests to sip cocktails while watching waves crash onto the beach. Modern furnishings and surf‑chic décor create a relaxed yet elegant environment. With a combination of seaside ceremony options, flexible room layouts and professional planning support, Rydges Cronulla is ideal for couples seeking an effortless beach celebration.

Our TV in the bedroom wasn't initially working, that was quickly fixed. There was mould in the corner of the shower, this was easily removed with a face washer. I don't think the staff are doing a proper job. I requested a hot chocolate at…
