Bay Hotel Motel

Really great food - never had an issue. Sometimes there is a long wait for food but that just shows how busy and great this pub is.
The atmosphere is great especially on live music nights.
Also, they have the cleanest bathrooms if I've seen in a pub.

Stayed two nights over the Christmas period. For a three star motel, I was very satisfied and the dog-friendly stay option was fantastic. It was nice and clean, and included a few more amenities then I was expecting. The kids loved the pool. The lady at reception was lovely (sorry, I cannot recall her name!). I would stay here again.

Stayed overnight on our trip between Brisbane and Melbourne; the room was comfortable and clean, the location is quiet. We had our dog with us, there's a decent lawn for the dogs (near the road so on lead). Unfortunately we arrived too late and left too early to try the pub food. Conrad and Paul were fantastic staff we dealt with.
Will definitely stop here next time when passing through.

Will definitely be back and make this a regular stop over on our trips between Queensland and Victoria. Very thankful that they are dog friendly and dinner in the attached pub was a hit with the family. There is plenty of separation between hotel and motel so no noise or disruption.

This review is on the food only as i have never seen or stayed at their accommodation on offer.

Ok so, i got a meat lovers pizza and it was honestly up there with one of the best pizza's I've ever eaten. Absolutely loved it and will get another at a later date as I'm staying not far for a few weeks of work. I only ever write a review if a place is really good, or really bad. Real ham, brisket, chicken etc and house made bbq sauce on a beautiful fluffy but crispy woodfired base. Absolutely delicious.

Stopped in on a week night.
This place has a good vibe and is decorated awesomely, staff and security are friendly also, glad i pulled in for dinner.

Went on a Friday night to the restraunt. Booked in advance. Staff were very friendly, member at the counter took time to try and figure out what substitute bread could be used for the burger which didn't have dairy in it. Food came out in a timely manner and were good servings. Bar was reasonably priced and didn't have to wait long for drinks. They had raffles on that night which was very nice to see and set a cosy vibe for the place!
Food: Bacon beef burger and veggie burger on Turkish bread!

Spotless & beautifully presented Rooms… Location great.
Very Friendly staff in the pub🎖
Look forward to returning 🍾

Just went in for a meal.
Very good value and service

This motel was pleasantly surprising.. very clean and tidy. Very friendly service and very flexible on your check in time, we got in at 7pm ... we will definately be going back as we have family in the area. Was great having the main restaurant and the food was really good. Also very handy having Coles walking distance away.
Only thing I would recommend is to not put couples in a room that has an ajoining door to another room. On the second nights stay a family checked into the room that was on the otherside of the ajoining door... we heard everything -their conversation, their TV (very clearly) when they had a shower, when they went to the toilet, plus the light that shone thru under the door lighting up our room ..and all at midnight... my recommendation for couples or people not travelling with other members, would be to ask for a room with no ajoining door to another room. 😊

Dog friendly and super friendly staff :) We love staying here on our drives between Melbourne and Brisbane with the doggos

Ordered a meal 10 minutes till closing and they were happy to serve us.
The fillet steak was the best I have eaten in the longest time and my partner's parmi was also great.
Will definitely be regulars now.

Beautiful clean room. Lovely food at restaurant.

Can not speak highly enough of the Bay, we were broken down on the M1 called in late got a young man named Josh who went above and beyond to help us book a room even made sure we ordered food and he had it taken to our room for us so when we arrived in the middle of the night we had dinner. The room was so clean and comfortable, we ended up needing to stay an extra night all the staff were so good to us and When I went to the bar for a drink I was greeted by the Publican ( Pete) who invited me to sit with him and his legend of a mate Bruser, NEVER have I felt so welcome and can't wait to come back for a holiday to this fantastic venue.

We stay here a lot travelling between melb and Sunshine Coast, great staff good atmosphere, just had the beef brisket and it
Was sensational, they bring it to our room
With wine and glasses, it’s way more than bistro food
Love it
Richard and Ginny❤

Great food at good prices. We have enjoyed every visit. Always visit for the food and to take a local friend there. We do not live in the vicinity of Bonnells Bay but don't mind the drive to the Bay for a good meal.
Having been visiting the pub for 13 years now.

Great food and nice people!

I was worried when I first booked my accommodation with Bay Hotel Motel, only because I was familiar with the area and the photos didn't give it the justice that it deserves.

I was very happy when we turned up, the staff are super friendly, the rooms are clean and tidy an sooooo much better and roomier than the photo's suggest. If you are in the area this is a very nice place to stay, reasonably priced and super convenient because it was close to shops, bottle shop & bar. I highly recommend the Bay Hotel Motel.

Perfect for a getaway. Very clean. Great pool and bbq area. Took 2 dogs and they were happy there, enough space in the room for all. Good bbq area next to pool so dogs didn't feel left out. Good bistro next door. Kid friendly. Unfortunately the playground at the pub was closed though.

Beautiful food with an amazing menu. One of my regular eats and it never fails to impress. Such a great little hotel. A must to try!!!

Entree: Teriyaki Duck and Noodle Nori Rolls
Main: Twice Cooked Pork Belly with Puk Choy and Rice
