The Bayswater Hotel, affectionately known as “The Baysie,” has returned in style after a stunning $7 million renovation, and it’s now a must-visit for families. As soon as we arrived, it was clear that this was not The Baysie we once knew – it’s been completely transformed! The revamped venue beautifully balances its historical charm with modern touches, making it a perfect spot for both parents and kids.
For my kids, the real showstopper was the custom-built playground. With a towering 10-metre slide and plenty of space to explore, they couldn’t get enough of it. I swear they would have happily played all day and night!
But it’s not just the playground that kept them entertained – the Bayswater Hotel has thought of everything for families, even offering colouring activities to keep the little ones busy while we waited for our food.
When it comes to the food, the Bayswater Hotel has nailed it for both adults and kids. The kids’ meals are just $14 and come with a juice, which is such great value. They’ve got all the kids’ pub favourites – margarita pizza, nuggets and chips, fish and chips, bolognese, and even cheeseburger and chips. My 8 year-old was thrilled with the cheeseburger, while my 14 and 7 year olds shared and devoured the ribs from the main menu and declared them the best they’ve ever had!
The wood-fired pizzas are also a stand – crispy, delicious, and fresh from the state-of-the-art pizza oven!
The real highlight for me, though, was the beer garden. It’s a beautifully landscaped space, spacious enough for parents to relax while the kids play nearby. With plenty of cozy nooks to hide away in and a big outdoor TV screen perfect for catching the game, it’s an ideal spot to unwind and soak in the relaxed atmosphere.

While The Bayswater Hotel has moved away from being the working man’s pub it was, you’ll find the sports bar with TAB machines and pool tables.
Inside, you’ll also find an impressive 8-meter rowing boat from the local ANA Rowing Club, a 1960s fruit and vegetable delivery truck, and an array of sporting memorabilia adorning the front bar.
What I really appreciate about new The Baysie is how it manages to stay connected to its roots while catering to modern families. Whether you’re there for a quick family meal or a long, lazy Sunday lunch, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the food is top-notch. We’ll definitely be back!
