Cruise Letter: Trick or treat yourself — October at Stoke
October has rolled into Manly, and it’s shaping up to be one of our favourite months of the year. The days are getting longer, the sun’s hanging around later, and those summer classics we all love are officially back — think Office sunset picnics with BYO drinks and Monday night volleyball at the beach. On top of that, we’ve got not one but two of our biggest annual bangers: Oktoberfest and our legendary Halloween party. Whether you’re here for chill vibes or full-on chaos, October at Stoke Beach House is all about making memories that last way longer than your tan.
Here’s what you’ve got to look forward to this month:
Weekly Events: Your Stoke Routine
-
Mondays are for sandy toes and salty hair. As the sun starts to dip, we grab the ball, head to the beach, and kick off the week with a few rounds of volleyball. It’s less about spiking like a pro and more about diving, laughing, and soaking up that golden-hour glow.
-
Our free yoga sessions run four times a week, giving you the perfect balance of calm and energy. Start your mornings grounded in our cozy in-house studio on Mondays, Fridays (both 8 AM), and Saturdays (9 AM). Midweek, we take it seaside — Wednesdays at 8 AM are for sun salutations with the waves as your soundtrack. Whether indoors or on the sand, it’s the reset your body and mind will thank you for.
-
Tuesdays = sunset mode on. We roll up to the Office with snacks and sangria in hand, kick back on the grass, and let the sky do its thing. It’s the ultimate midweek hang — good tunes, good crew, golden-hour glow.
-
Thursdays = pub crawl mode 🔥 We hit Manly’s best bars, drinks in hand, and let the night take over. Laughs, new friends, and good vibes — the perfect way to kick off your weekend (or call it the main event).
-
Friday is our night to bring you a proper feast, and September’s lineup is pure comfort food joy:
10th October – Make Your Own Pizza Night: Grab a base, pile on your favourite toppings, and fire up the oven — we provide everything you need, you bring the flavour and appetite!17th October – Aussie BBQ: Get ready to chow down the Aussie way — smoky grills, hearty bites, and good vibes to kick off the weekend right.
24th October – Lasagna Night: Layers of cheesy, saucy goodness stacked high — the ultimate comfort food to recover from Thursday’s pub crawl.
Specials This October
-
Grab your mates, raise your stein, and let the good times roll! Think endless laughs, epic beer pong battles, and plenty of cold brews to keep the vibe flowing. Whether you’re here for the drinks, the games, or just the mad energy, Oktoberfest Week at Stoke is all about big fun, new friends, and making October one to remember. Prost! 🍻
-
It’s like your regular game of pool, but with a knockout twist — one wrong shot and you’re out of the round. The pressure’s on, the stakes are high (well, kind of), and the laughs are guaranteed. Can you keep your cool and make it to the end?
-
Think your aim is good? Think again. Our beer pong nights are loud, competitive, and just the right amount of messy.
-
A paintbrush in one hand, a glass of wine in the other. What could go wrong? Spoiler: nothing. You’ll leave with your own masterpiece and maybe a new friend or two.
-
We trade the usual numbers for catchy tunes, and suddenly the room is full of dancing, singing along, and excited shouts of “Bingo!”
-
Gather your smartest friends (or the ones who just happen to know random facts about 90s pop culture) and join us for a night of questions, laughs, and the occasional ridiculous tiebreaker.
-
A day of utterly ridiculous challenges, cheeky team rivalry, and the kind of laughter you’ll still be talking about next month. Medals may be up for grabs, but eternal glory is the real prize.
-
Get spooky, get silly, get wild! 🤘 Throw on your craziest costume, grab a drink, and hit the dance floor with new mates. Prizes for the best fit, insane tunes, and vibes so good you’ll be talking about it for weeks.
Whether you’re here for the food, the fitness, the parties, or all of the above, September at Stoke Beach House is your ticket to making the most of spring in Manly. Rooms are already filling up fast, so lock in your stay now and join the fun before we sell out.
