Book NowAbout Lake Tyers Beach Tavern
Perched right above the water, this coastal tavern pairs sweeping estuary views with rare hospitality for road-trippers and locals alike.

The breezy outdoor deck looks straight across the lake toward the surf beach—ideal for an afternoon beer while the kitchen sends out pan-fried snapper curry, hot-honey pizza, and cold draught schooners.
- Complimentary Van Camping: Van travellers can secure powered parking with hot showers and water out back for up to two nights while patronising the tavern.
- Lake and Ocean Outlooks: An outdoor deck and broad dining room windows look straight across the lake waters and out to the ocean surf.

Before you head over
Practical planning advice on van parking, bookings, and waterfront dining
Arrive early for free camper spots
Complimentary camper and caravan spots out back include power and hot amenities for up to two nights, but plots operate strictly first come, first served and fill up quickly. Plan to pull in early in the afternoon to secure your site before heading in for dinner.
Book ahead for peak times and sunset views
The dining room and outdoor deck looking over Lake Tyers and the ocean get packed rapidly, especially during peak holiday periods and Friday evenings. Reserving ahead secures prime lake-view tables and prevents being turned away when it is completely full.
Support the pub while staying overnight
When staying in the overnight van spaces or taking advantage of free amenities, support the tavern by dining in for lunch or dinner and grabbing a drink at the bar, helping maintain this generous community setup.
