What Our Guests Are Saying

Graeme Hollingsworth

3 of us stayed at The Bendemeer Hotel overnight last week. It came highly recommended by other motorcyclists so we change our planned route to incorporate a visit to the pub. So glad we did! Angie made us welcome from the moment we arrived and all the staff were fantastic. Meals and Bar were excellent m, comfortable rooms with electric blankets and lock up sheds for storing our motorcycles. Definitely a highlight of our 4000km trip from Gippsland in Victoria. Highly recommended a stop over or even just a visit to The Bendemeer Hotel.

I had high expectations and this pub truly lived up to them. My only regret is i only stayed one night. The staff, meals and accommodation were all really top notch. Thanks again Bendemeer Hotel for a great stay.

Welcoming pub. Bistro Neal's are first class.

Love this great Aussie pub. Our motorbike club has had a few weekends here now. It has lock up garages for secure parking. Clean comfortable rooms with wide verandah to sit out on. Large lounge/dining area with tile fire. Great pub food. Friendly locals and staff.

What a awesome pub! We were coming through after opening hours and they accommodated us with no fuss! When we arrived late at night and cold we went into our room to find the heater had been turned on and the electric blanket for us. Room and bed were toasty and the service was great. 100% recommend!
