About

The Barwon Heads Hotel has four distinct spaces: the bistro serving fresh seasonal produce with vegetarian and gluten-free options, a cocktail lounge (bridge bar) for drinks and light bites, a sports bar for live sport, and a private function room for up to 60 guests. Wednesday parmi nights ($24) and Thursday steak nights ($28) draw the locals, while summer weekends bring free live music to the beer garden. About 20 minutes from Geelong CBD, the hotel also offers on-site accommodation — making it a solid base for exploring the Bellarine Peninsula.

Barwon Heads Hotel is the most practical Bellarine Peninsula base-camp pub — on-site accommodation open seven days, at the mouth of the Barwon River, with bistro, sports bar and beer garden all under one roof. See how it compares to the other verified pub hotels across the Bellarine and Surf Coast.
