About Margarita Daze

Margarita Daze is a beachfront bar and casual dining restaurant located right on the sand at Umina Beach, New South Wales. Known for its ocean views and relaxed coastal vibe, it serves cocktails, local and imported beers, wines, and a varied menu including seafood, pizzas, burgers, salads, and modern pub-style classics. The venue often hosts live music and is popular for sunset drinks, casual meals, group catch-ups, and private events such as birthdays and small functions. Bookings, event enquiries, menus, and trading hours are available on their website at margaritadaze.com.au.

A charge from Margarita Daze may appear on your bank or card statement when you pay for food and drinks at the venue, start a bar tab, settle a group bill, or pay a deposit for a function or event. You may also see charges related to takeaway or phone/online orders if your card was processed over the counter or via a stored card terminal. In some cases, you might notice a temporary preauthorisation (a pending amount) when you open a tab, leave your card behind the bar, or when the venue checks that your card has sufficient funds; this usually falls off automatically after a few days if not captured as a final sale.

If you’re unsure about a Margarita Daze charge, first check recent visits to Umina Beach and any meals, drinks, or events you may have attended there, including group tabs where someone else might have used your card to pay. Reviewing your email for booking confirmations or receipts, as well as any SMS confirmations from the venue, can help match the date and amount. To resolve questions, contact Margarita Daze directly using the details on margaritadaze.com.au (phone and contact form/email); provide the transaction date, exact amount, and the name on the card so staff can look up the payment, tab, or function booking. For disputes or suspected card fraud, speak to both the venue and your bank—your bank can reverse unauthorised charges, while the venue can confirm what was billed on their system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Margarita Daze charge my card when I opened a bar tab?

When you open a bar tab at Margarita Daze and leave your card behind the bar, the venue may place a preauthorisation (temporary hold) on your card to verify funds. This can appear as a pending charge that is higher than your eventual spend. Once the tab is closed, the final amount is processed and the original hold is released by your bank, usually within a few business days. If you see both a hold and a final charge, the hold should disappear automatically; if it doesn’t, contact your bank.

What are common charge amounts from Margarita Daze that I might see on my statement?

Common charges reflect typical restaurant and bar spending, such as smaller amounts for a couple of drinks (for example, $20–$60 AUD), mid-range totals for meals and cocktails for two ($60–$150 AUD), and higher amounts for larger group bills or functions, which can exceed a few hundred dollars. A single statement line may represent a full table’s bill, including food, drinks, and surcharges. Public holiday surcharges or large group tips (if applied) will also be included in the one total transaction. Exact amounts vary based on what was ordered and the size of your group.

Why is there a different amount on my Margarita Daze charge than what I remember paying?

The final charge may be higher if a public holiday or weekend surcharge was applied, if you added a tip when paying by card, or if additional items were added to your tab after you last checked it. For group tables, one person’s card may be used to pay for the entire table even if others paid that person back in cash or via bank transfer. If you believe the total is incorrect, contact Margarita Daze with your receipt (if you have it) and the transaction details so they can compare it to the POS record and correct any errors.

How do I get a copy of my receipt or tax invoice from Margarita Daze?

If you didn’t receive or keep a paper receipt, you can request a copy by contacting Margarita Daze via the phone number or contact form listed on margaritadaze.com.au. Provide the date and approximate time of your visit, the amount charged, and the last four digits of your card so staff can locate the transaction. They can usually email you a tax invoice or provide a summary of the bill items. Keep in mind that very old transactions may be harder to retrieve, so it’s best to enquire promptly.

I see a Margarita Daze charge, but I don’t live near Umina Beach—could this be fraud?

If you have not visited Umina Beach, NSW, and haven’t authorised anyone to use your card there, the transaction could be unauthorised. First, double-check any recent travel, work trips, or group bookings you may have been part of, as restaurant names can be easy to forget. If you still do not recognise the payment, contact your bank immediately to report potential card fraud and ask them to block or replace your card. You can also reach out to Margarita Daze with the transaction details so they can provide any information they have on the payment (such as date, time, and till location).

How are deposits or prepayments for functions and group bookings at Margarita Daze charged?

For certain events or larger group bookings, Margarita Daze may require a deposit or minimum spend guarantee, which is charged to your card at the time of booking. This will appear as a separate transaction from any bill you settle on the day of the event. Deposits are usually subject to specific terms about cancellations and refunds, which should be outlined in your booking confirmation or discussed with the venue. If you’re unsure whether a charge is a deposit or a final bill, contact the venue and reference your booking name and date.

Can I get a refund or adjustment for a Margarita Daze charge I believe is incorrect?

If you believe you were charged twice, charged the wrong amount, or billed for items you didn’t receive, contact Margarita Daze directly as soon as you notice the issue. Provide your transaction details (date, exact amount, and cardholder name), and if possible, any receipts or bank screenshots so staff can investigate. If an error is confirmed, the venue can process a refund or adjustment back to your card through their payment terminal. For disputes that can’t be resolved with the venue or for suspected fraud, you should also lodge a dispute with your bank.

Why do I see a small or temporary Margarita Daze charge that later disappeared?

Small or temporary charges can occur when the venue’s payment terminal runs a card verification or preauthorisation, especially if you started but did not complete a tab or if a transaction was voided. These appear as pending transactions and typically drop off within a few business days without posting as a final charge. If a temporary hold remains on your account for longer than a week, contact your bank, as the release timing is controlled by your card issuer. You can also ask Margarita Daze to confirm that no sale was completed for that authorisation on their system.
