Moody Lagoon at Benguela Cove

We're kicking off our popular 'Movies Under the Stars at Benguela Cove' series for 2026 with a spectacular screening of Superman!

We encourage guests to arrive when the doors open at 18:30 to fully soak up the atmosphere before the film begins at sundown. This time allows families to settle onto the lawns, enjoy some pre-movie activities, and, most importantly, indulge in our incredible food and drink offerings.

Attendees can pre-book a locally sourced Gourmet Picnic Basket (with options for adults and kids) or choose from our wood-fired pizzas, cheese and charcuterie boards, and classic movie snacks like popcorn and slushies available on-site. For the adults, our award-winning Benguela Cove wines and full licensed bar will be open. This ensures all the catering needs are met, making it a stress-free evening for parents and group organisers. As we provide all the seating, the only thing guests need to remember is their blankets for extra comfort against the coastal air!

This is a high-demand event, and we anticipate strong early bookings, especially for a well-loved hero like Superman.
